The home run was hit at Great American Ball Park on August 25, 2012 in a game that saw the Reds win 8-2. box score Bruce went 1 for 3 with a home run, walk and strike out in that game. Brandon Phillips went 3 for 5 with 2 runs batted and Ryan Ludwick when 3 for 4.

@DatDudeBP sums it up very well

— Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP) April 29, 2013
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips posted a tweet today that I thought I would share. The man is very right, Reds need to end this month on a positive note. Lots of injuries have hurt the team early this season, hopefully the worst is behind them and the team can win some ball games.
#Reds 14 or more runs in 2000

2013 Cincinnati Reds Top Player Predictions
My early predictions of who will do the best in 2013 for the Cincinnati Reds. (Out of players that are expected to be back.) I will work on a pitcher prediction as the off-season goes on. (I have a strange feeling the starting rotation will change again this off-season.)
| Rank | Player |
|---|---|
| 1 | Joey Votto |
| 2 | Brandon Phillips |
| 3 | Jay Bruce |
| 4 | Ryan Hanigan |
| 5 | Todd Frazier |
Jaime Garcia part 2
The Reds have faced Jaime Garcia already this early season and hopefully they can get the win against him again tonight.
In two games this season he has thrown his 81 mph change-up 41 times (24.4%) 53.7% of them being strikes, 46% swing, 24% whiff and only 7% foul while 14.6% were put in play. He has also thrown a 4-seam fastball 20% of the time, slider 19%, 2-seam fastball 18.5%, cut fastball 9.5% and a curveball 8.3%. His season at-bat results are single 26.5%, strikeout 14%, groundout 14%, flyout 14%, walk 6%, pop out, double and grounded into DP 4%, sac bunt, sac fly, forceout, fielder choice out, lineout and triple are at 2%.
Last game Garcia’s at-bat results vs. the Reds were very interesting. Single 40%, Strikeout 16%, Groundout 12% and Walk, Sac Fly, Pop Out, Grounded Into DP, Sac Bunt, Forceout, Double and Flyout were all at 4%. [Source]

In it to win it!
Are people still second guessing the intentions of the Cincinnati Reds Front Office? I’m not! First they re-signed Joey Votto and then Brandon Phillips all in the same year! To tell you the truth I knew something was different when Walt Jocketty signed Ryan Madson and traded for Mat Latos and Sean Marshall but many didn’t think it meant anything. All I can really say right now is; WOW!!! Thank you Bob!
If this doesn’t put fans in the stands I really don’t know what will.
A lot has happened
I have been pretty silent this spring training but I am still watching and listening to everything that is going on. First, the injury to Ryan Madson stung a little but that kind of thing happens in baseball. The Reds took a gamble and it didn’t work out. Second, Joey Votto is staying with the team. I am very happy with this move because it really shows the head office wants to put together a top team for many years to come. They have many options for Brandon Phillips if they decide to trade him. Of course when I say options I mean they have young players ready or one year away from being ready to play his position. I do not mean in no way that they would be better than him at 2B. Joey Votto, in my mind can not be replaced as easily.
I am looking forward to what happens this season and I am very happy to see the time is finally here to start playing ball. And just so you all know, I still believe the Reds have the best team in the Central. I wish you all a great season. I will post more often now that the season is starting and give my thoughts on games and deals when they happen. Go Reds!!!
