| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 5 | 14-12 | 10 | Reds rookie Tony Cingrani has been brilliant after three big league starts: 2-0, 1.50 ERA. Even better, he's struck out 28 while walking only four. What will the Reds do when Johnny Cueto returns from the DL? -- Chad Dotson, Redleg Nation | |
| Week 4 | 11-8 | 10 | The Reds have scored more runs than anyone in the league, and with Joey Votto heating up, the sky's the limit. Votto is now hitting .328/.522/.516 after raising his average by 64 points (and his SLG by 139 points) over the weekend. -- Chad Dotson, Redleg Nation | |
| Week 3 | 5-7 | 9 | A disastrous week for the Reds, as they finished up a 1-5 road trip. They were swept by the Pirates and lost ace Johnny Cueto to the disabled list. Hey, at least Joey Votto hit his first homer since June, right? -- Chad Dotson, Redleg Nation | |
| Week 2 | 4-2 | 4 | The Redlegs kicked off the season in style, taking two of three from the Nationals and the Angels. Todd Frazier is already making Reds fans forget Scott Rolen; he's hitting .480/.519/.920 with three homers and nine RBIs after one week. -- Chad Dotson, Redleg Nation | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 3 | Joey Votto is healthy again, Cincinnati finally has a true leadoff hitter (Shin-Soo Choo), and the NL's second-best pitching staff returns intact. There hasn't been this much preseason optimism in the Queen City since the mid-1970s. -- Chad Dotson, Redleg Nation | |
