Cincinnati Reds can't shake Milwaukee Brewers and Jonathan India available for trade?
July 25, 2023 07:31 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBThe Cincinnati Reds just can't handle the Milwaukee Brewers. Other than Elly De La Cruz smashing a home run out of American Family Field, there was no hitting to speak of. The Reds pitching did all it could but still fell short in the end. What is the deal with the Reds and Brewers? Also, Jonathan India is available, according to Nick Krall. There is one key here that Reds fans are overlooking. And why these next two games are as close to must-win games for the Reds as you can get in July. ...

July 24, 2023 06:27 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBThe Cincinnati Reds five-game win streak after sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks has them right back in the driver seat of the NL Playoffs.

The Cincinnati Reds are back ahead of schedule
July 21, 2023 05:27 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBThe Cincinnati Reds saw Andrew Abbott dominate to help them earn a series split with the San Francisco Giants. Abbott, Ashcraft, and the pitching renaissance taking place is one of many reasons these Reds are still ahead of schedule and in the thick of a playoff race. Matt McLain, Alexis Díaz, Elly De La Cruz, and even Joey Votto have all put up very intriguing stats that jump off the page as another reason the Reds are contenders. Now the Arizona Diamondbacks and Corbin Carroll come to tow...
Graham Ashcraft, Will Benson, and Alexis Díaz help end Cincinnati Reds losing streak
July 20, 2023 06:28 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBGraham Ashcraft, Will Benson, and Alexis Díaz were instrumental in Wednesday night's Cincinnati Reds win over the San Francisco Giants. Ashcraft, Benson, and Diaz are all vital to the Reds playoff hopes this year AND in the future. Ashcraft is back and someone the Reds can trust every fifth day. Benson is the best No. 9 hitter in baseball and a key run-scoring threat for the Reds. Diaz is the rock of the bullpen and means the Reds have a truly dominant closer.

Have the Cincinnati Reds changed expectations?
July 19, 2023 07:02 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds, now with Christian Encarnacion-Strand, CES, joining Elly de la Cruz, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, Joey Votto, and company, have their core in place.

Also, there were silver linings like Jonathan India breaking out of his slump, CES hitting his first home run, and more in the Reds sixth-straight loss. The R...
CES to debut for Cincinnati Reds after they were humbled by the Milwaukee Brewers
July 17, 2023 07:06 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBChristian Encarnacion-Strand is being called up by the Cincinnati Reds. CES immediately improves this lineup at a time when they are slumping bad. Will CES help the Reds beat the San Francisco Giants? CES is a much-needed distraction for the Reds who waved a golden opportunity goodbye as the Milwaukee Brewers swept the three-game series at Great American Ballpark. Who is to blame for the Reds not performing well in these three games, or is it just time to tip your cap to a team that was bet...
The Cincinnati Reds could get Shohei Ohtani in a trade, but should Nick Krall make it happen?
July 14, 2023 07:04 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBThere is no team in MLB in better position to trade for Shohei Ohtani than the Cincinnati Reds. With plenty of top prospects, the Reds could woo the Los Angeles Angels into dealing Ohtani to the Queen City. The question is, should Nick Krall go all in like this for Ohtani? Also, there is one key to a series win for the Reds over the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend and David Bell is making a statement by pitching Graham Ashcraft first out of the gate and not Andrew Abbott.

July 12, 2023 05:34 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers have proven the NL Central is a two-horse race.

BONUS: The Cincinnati Reds could stand pat this trade deadline
July 06, 2023 23:08 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThe Cincinnati Reds may not need to make any trades during this season's trade deadline. The pitching is the only area of concern, but the starting rotation has improved recently. Luke Weaver, Brandon Williamson, and the imminent return of Ben Lively may be more than enough to hold the Reds over until Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo return. With Andrew Abbott and the resurgent Graham Ashcraft, this rotation may not need reinforcements. What do you think of the Reds heading into the trade deadl...

July 04, 2023 07:35 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBJoey Votto and Luke Weaver had been on the "Should we be worried about them" list for the Cincinnati Reds, in varying ways. Both Votto and Weaver led the Reds to a win over the Washington Nationals in DC on Monday. While that may have been the best from Weaver, the best is still yet to come for Votto. Also, it's time for the Reds to end the three catcher plan, but it may be another week before they do. And Alexis Díaz should not pitch in the All Star Game, just like Elly De La Cruz elected ...
The Cincinnati Reds added to the San Diego Padres misery
July 03, 2023 05:20 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds took two of three games from the San Diego Padres over the weekend at Great American Ballpark.

June 30, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBThe Cincinnati Reds have Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, and Spencer Steer as their core for years to come, but how will Nick Krall continue building this MLB playoffs machine?

Andrew Abbott gives the Cincinnati Reds at least one good starting pitcher
June 28, 2023 07:07 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds got a win thanks to Andrew Abbott and his brilliant performance. Abbott gives the Reds a stopper in a starting rotation that has few bright spots right now. Abbott's performance goes a long way while Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo are on the IL. Also, David Bell has some favorite players, like Kevin Newman and Ian Gibaut, that he needs to learn to not trust so much in big spots for the Reds. And Will Benson leads in two very important stat categories, over the last two we...

June 20, 2023 07:16 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds took over first place in the NL Central after their ninth-straight win on Monday. Joey Votto was a huge reason why the Reds won as he clubbed a home run and the go-ahead two-RBI hit. Votto looked strong and healthy and like he will fit on this team beautifully. Brandon Williamson pitched decent for the Reds but a a new question about his development looms. With Hunter Greene hitting the IL, it is time for the Reds to trade for a starting pitcher.

Starting Pitching can make or break the Cincinnati Reds hopes of winning the NL Central
June 16, 2023 07:14 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBThe Cincinnati Reds starting pitching has really missed Nick Lodolo and Graham Ashcraft. If Lodolo and Ashcraft can return to form with Hunter Greene and Andrew Abbott, the Reds will be hard to beat. Christian Encarnacion-Strand did something on Thursday that could transform the Reds lineup. Joey Votto looks like he will be ready to play.

Matt McLain has played exceptionally well in all facets of the game, Alexis Díaz is as automatic a relief pitcher as they come, and TJ Friedl has made strides in centerfield and at the plate. The Reds have a lot of talent on the roster and it makes picking the beat player that much harder. Also, the Reds lineup hit the most home runs in a game so far this season to sweep the Kansas City Royals and why y...

Ricky Karcher saves an improbable Cincinnati Reds win over the Kansas City Royals
June 13, 2023 06:11 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBRicky Karcher made his major league debut for the Cincinnati Reds at a very stressful time. David Bell needed him to save not only the win but the bullpen, as well. And Karcher did, but it was a roller coaster ride. The performance Karcher put on was as rocky as his AAA Louisville performance has been this year, but the Reds got a win. Now Karcher is a trivia answer. Bell managed his but off in this game. He pulled the right strings for the Reds and put them in the best position they could b...

What makes the Reds better than the Cardinals? Elly De La Cruz electrified the Reds and led them to a win which makes our hosts wonder if he doesn't compare to a former Cardinals rookie that took over games. Also, how can the Cardinals turn things around and could it be a change in manager? Will the Reds be buyers at the trade deadline? We cover all this...
Elly De La Cruz is already leading the Cincinnati Reds to key wins over the St Louis Cardinals

De La Cruz's base running was the determining factor in the Reds go-ahead run to beat the St Louis Cardinals and secure the series win at Busch Stadium 3. Elly's proving to be every bit worth the hype as he is putting up gaudy numbers all over the place for the Reds. Is De La Cruz's debut the best, though? Or is it Matt McLain's debut, or Andrew Abbott's debut? Also, Will Benson is bouncing back in a big way. If you are...
How the Cincinnati Reds roster is about to change in a hurry
June 09, 2023 05:12 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBThe Cincinnati Reds have Hunter Greene coming back on Sunday, which means they will have six starting pitchers. One pitcher will have to move out and Graham Ashcraft looks to be ok after taking a liner off his calf. The move the Reds could make would strengthen the bullpen. Also, TJ Friedl is coming off the injured list this weekend, Joey Votto is not far behind and neither is Wil Myers. Also, what will the Reds do to get Christian Incarnation-Strand on this team? We have answers for that an...

Tyler Stephenson also got in on the home run parade and Alexis Diaz polished off a perfect night for the Reds bullpen. Something that wasn't perfect was the starting pitching, again. Should we...

June 06, 2023 08:08 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBAndrew Abbot was him for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday as they beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the final of four games at Great American Ballpark. The four pitches Abbott throws were all over the strike zone as he confounded the Brewers and put the Reds in a position to win. The Reds scored just enough runs with some power in this game as it was more like the way they won a game in 2020 than in 2023. Also, Jonathan India is in a pickle...or is he? The Reds leader seems to be in flux but we loo...
Is Cincinnati Reds management serious about going for the NL Central?
June 05, 2023 06:14 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBThe Cincinnati Reds debacle this weekend brings into question how serious the front office and management are about trying to the win the NL Central this year. Some roster decisions for the Reds, like continuing to carry three catchers, not calling up Elly De La Cruz, and keeping a hurt TJ Friedl on the roster and not on the IL brings into question whether the Reds want to go for it. Graham Ashcraft struggled mightily, again, on Sunday and the Reds seem to have a problem on their hands. Also...
