September 07, 2022 04:57 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

The Cincinnati Reds have had a dismal season and there are two key statistics (other than wins and losses) that can define it. Jeff and Steve look at what those two statistics are and try to narrow it down to one. The roster will be in constant upheaval for the rest of the final month of the season as Hunter Greene, Matt Reynolds, and Daniel Duarte are all on rehab assignments and close to returning to the big leagues.

The Cincinnati Reds have called up Spencer Steer

September 01, 2022 17:49 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

Spencer Steer has gotten the call to the Cincinnati Reds. Jeff gets you set for his debut as he has the potential to be a key contributor for the Reds lineup for years to come.

Cincinnati Reds are seeing the grit and determination of a star from Jonathan India

August 31, 2022 16:58 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

Jonathan India is in the middle of a hitting streak that is his longest in his young career for the Cincinnati Reds. Jeff is convinced this is more than just about the numbers for India and that's why the Reds are allowing him to finish out the season. Justin Dunn pitched well before the Reds pulled him after just four innings, we'll look at why David Bell and Derek Johnson decided to pull him. The Reds have seen some nice contributions from Chuck Robinson and Austin Romine in the batter's b...

August 30, 2022 16:28 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MB

The Cincinnati Reds are having a season to forget in the win-loss column but have an opportunity to get lots of different young players some playing time. Jeff and Steve look at why that's not happening enough and why it needs to happen more as the Reds team of mostly veteran players got blown out by the St Louis Cardinals. Chuck Robinson hit his first career home run and has been a bright spot for the Reds in the past week. Is Robinson playing himself into a backup catcher role with the Red...

The Cincinnati Reds continue confusing roster management as September nears

August 26, 2022 18:43 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Nick Senzel hurt his hamstring early on in the series finale of the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies. Due to the poor roster management of the Reds, though, Senzel played through the injury and looked really bad running the bases in the ninth inning. Jeff and Steve look at how the Reds can remedy this roster wreck. Justin Dunn showed some promise, though for the Reds in the series finale and Dauri Loretta is back. These guys should continue to pitch often as they find a place in the...

Cincinnati Reds mismanaging their future stars

August 25, 2022 16:18 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

Chuck Robinson made his major league debut behind the plate last night and his is an inspirational baseball story. Alejo Lopez is playing himself into the minds of Reds fans and deserves more of a shot to prove whe...

August 24, 2022 21:40 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MB
