June 28, 2022 18:18 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBLuis Castillo may be the most sought-after trade targets on the market and the Cincinnati Reds have to get this right. Jeff and Steve look at how La Piedra has performed and why the Reds have such a valuable trade chip in him. The problem with this trade season is that the Reds have the same decision-makers in the higher up ranks of the front office who caused this mess, can we trust them to fix this? The Reds trading Sandy Leon for cash and the Cleveland Guardians immediately starting him m...

Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers should make a deal
June 24, 2022 04:26 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MBThe Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers are natural trade partners. The Dodgers dominated the Reds and showed many reasons why they are a World Series contender and could use some reinforcements that the Reds have.

If the Dodgers got someone like Luis Castillo or Tyler Mahle, the Reds could get someone like Andy Pages or...

Cincinnati Reds fielding has never been this bad and can never be this bad again, right?
June 22, 2022 05:26 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBThe Cincinnati Reds have lost more games than they've won and bad fielding is a huge culprit. Jeff and Steve try to pinpoint the importance of fielding in building a championship team and why it seems all World Series contenders have pretty decent fielding. They also look at some keys to a successful series with the Los Angeles Dodgers and why it doesn't include the Reds winning. Hunter Greene allowing no home runs would be a huge success. Also, players who are expected to be on the trade bl...
Cincinnati Reds trade rumors should be rapid fire because the front office should be focused on the future
June 21, 2022 06:51 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe Cincinnati Reds slim hopes for contention in 2022 are over and it's time to sell. Jeff looks at why the Reds should trade all players who aren't highly probable to be a part of the next Reds team to carry expectations, in 2024. The Reds should trade Luis Castillo. The Reds should trade Tyler Mahle. The Reds should trade Brandon Drury. With all these trades, they can aim high, and the front office should deliver top flight prospects for the next successful Reds team. In these trades, they...
Cincinnati Reds show a couple of inadequacies as they're swept by the Milwaukee Brewers
June 20, 2022 02:53 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBThe Cincinnati Reds problems from a few months ago showed up against the Milwaukee Brewers this past weekend. Jeff is joined by Dominic Cotroneo, Locked On Brewers, for a crossover post-mortem of the series. Willy Adames, Hunter Renfroe, and company outplayed Joey Votto, Jonathan India and the Reds. Tyler Stephenson would have been nice to have available. The Reds showed why, in a couple of areas, that the Brewers are just better and miles ahead of where the Reds are. The pitching really doo...
Cincinnati Reds All Star hopefuls and the wounded Milwaukee Brewers come to Cincy
June 17, 2022 06:48 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBThe Cincinnati Reds have multiple players who could head to Los Angeles for the All Star game, but Brandon Drury leads them. Jeff and Steve talk about why Drury deserves the nod and who else could join him from the Reds. Drury's good play to start this season cannot be misconstrued, though, and the Reds should take advantage and sell high by trading Drury like they did Dan Straily for Luis Castillo, years ago. There's an unlikely Red who should get All Star consideration and someone you may ...

June 16, 2022 05:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBThe Cincinnati Reds couldn't sweep the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, but they still won the season series and there are a few key players, like Tyler Mahle and David Peralta, who will miss the other team.

June 15, 2022 07:51 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBTyler Mahle was near perfect for the Cincinnati Reds but they couldn't score any runs off of Arizona Diamondbacks pitching until extra innings. Jeff and Steve break down a beautiful performance that Tyler Mahle put together and the craziness of it being wasted like it was. They also look at what almost derailed the game in Chris Okey being forced into catching duty with Luis Cessa's low slider tormenting him. There were some reported injuries to Albert Almora Jr and maybe Jonathan India that...
Why Cincinnati Reds fans expectations of David Bell are completely off and Jonathan India's return signals change in the roster
June 14, 2022 17:06 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBThe Cincinnati Reds are not losing because of David Bell. As Pete Rose said "One things makes a good manager: good players." The Reds front office haded David Bell a rough roster to win games with and Jeff and Steve want you to know that the expectations should be different then what Reds ownership is trying to sell you. Even with that roster, though, sometimes Bell pulls the handle on the slot machine and comes up with a winner, just like last night. Mike Minor pitched well and earned at le...
The Cincinnati Reds don't need a designated closer to be successful
June 13, 2022 17:23 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBThe Cincinnati Reds bullpen has blown multiple games, recently, which makes everyone question David Bell's managing of the group. The answer is not defined roles, though, as Jeff and Steve point out, it is in having multiple trustworthy relief pitchers who can get the Reds out of jams at any point in the game. Tommy Pham may be causing a rift in the clubhouse with comments about pitching like the ones he made after Sunday's win, even if they may be true for Reds pitchers. The Reds head to Ar...

June 10, 2022 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBSteve is joined by special guest host Nick Kirby to talk the aftermath of the Tyler Stephenson injury, who might get traded at the deadline, and how the Reds will get the players on rehab assignments back on the roster in the coming week. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter Call or text (513) 549-0159 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds Have a Minor Setback and The Core of The 2024 Reds is Exciting
June 09, 2022 06:15 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBMike Minor pitched poorly and Joey Votto kept getting robbed by great defense as the Cincinnati Reds lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jeff and Steve wonder if Minor may be better out of the bullpen for the Reds. The future of the Reds is very bright with players like Elly De La Cruz and Rece Hinds on the horizon. We look at who will be making the Reds a playoff contender in 2024, whether De La Cruz or Jose Barrero will be the everyday shortstop, and why Michael Siani over Jay Allen in cente...
The Cincinnati Reds Have Tough Decisions Regarding Graham Ashcraft and the Lineup Ahead
June 08, 2022 17:01 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBThe Cincinnati Reds obliterated the Arizona Diamondbacks thanks to a power surge from the bats and great pitching from Graham Ashcraft. Jeff and Steve look at the players who are going off, including Brandon Drury and Matt Reynolds, and why the Reds have tough decisions ahead with the returns of Jonathan India, Donovan Solano, Jose Barrero, and Max Schrock looming. Ashcraft has pitched magnificently in his first four major league starts and should have solidified his Reds starting rotation s...
Hunter Greene Shows the Cincinnati Reds What he Can do in a Dominant Start Against the Arizona Diamondbacks
June 07, 2022 06:01 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBHunter Greene was next-to-perfect on Monday as the Cincinnati Reds shutout the Arizona Diamondbacks in a rain-shortened game. Jeff talks about the masterful slider that led the way to Greene's big day and how Greene is one of the few must-see parts of the Reds in 2022. Graham Ashcraft is also at the top of the must-see list and he pitches tonight against the D-Backs. With Greene, Ashcraft, and a healthy Nick Lodolo, the Reds are looking at their future now. Imagine, for a moment, that the Re...
The Cincinnati Reds Just Looked Bad Over the Weekend Against the Washington Nationals
June 06, 2022 04:17 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MBThe Cincinnati Reds had a golden opportunity to gain some ground on the bottom rung of the National League ladder but fell miserably to the Washington Nationals. Jeff and Steve talk about their belief that the Reds cannot falter in one aspect of the game or they will not win. Nick Senzel got picked off first base to end Sunday's game and that serves as a microcosm for the entire season about the Reds losing focus when times are crucial. Hunter Greene pitches tonight against the Arizona Diamo...
The Cincinnati Reds Have A Bonafide Starting Pitcher in Graham Ashcraft and one Worry About Joey Votto
June 03, 2022 19:36 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBGraham Ashcraft pitched another gem for the Cincinnati Reds as they beat the Washington Nationals. Jeff looks at what Ashcraft has done in his first three games and why it is sustainable. He also wonders at Ashcraft's ability to be this team's ace of the future, though Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo will have something to say about that. Joey Votto hit another home run and continued the absolute tear he's been on since returning from the COVID IL. As good as Boot has looked, though, there is ...

June 02, 2022 02:07 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBThe Cincinnati Reds have had a disappointing season, so far, but we have to look at the key players, like Hunter Greene, and figure out who will be here when the Reds are competitive again. Jeff and Steve make their picks as to which players are certain bets (like Greene), which players are coin flips (like Nick Senzel) and which players will not be here (Mike Moustakas). They also wonder what will happen with guys like Jonathan India, Joey Votto, and Kyle Farmer. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and...

May 26, 2022 16:22 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBJoey Votto had a home run and a triple before the third inning was over and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ballpark. Jeff looks at how Joey Votto got in the Cubs heads and why he continues to show that he's one of the best Reds hitters of all time. The pitching was also on point, Wednesday, despite a rough first inning for Luis Castillo. He buckled down and looked more like the ace pitcher he is for the next four innings. The bullpen, made up of Tony Santillan, A...
The Cincinnati Reds Main Downfall has Been Starting Pitching
May 25, 2022 18:48 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBTyler Mahle got hit all around Great American Ballpark yesterday and the Cincinnati Reds lost big to the Chicago Cubs.

Reds starting pitching has been the biggest reason why the...
