The Reds have lost their lead in the NL Central and now find themselves fighting for one of the three Wild Card playoff spots. The Phillies and Cubs are comfortably holding two while the Marlins, Giants, and Diamondbacks are fighting with the Reds for that last spot. To make things more difficult, the injuries are starting to pile up for the Reds. Do they have what it takes to reach the playoffs? Are they going to regret not making additional moves at the trade deadline? Lots of questions around this team that David Bell will have to manage though. Is he up for the task?

The only thing crueler than Taylor Swift's summer is this Cincinnati Red's offense to opposing pitchers. Although only one Reds player was selected to the All-Star team, the guys make the case for others who should have been given more consideration. The Reds find themselves in first place and 10 games over .500 nearing the All-Star break. What is it going to take to hold off the other teams in the NL Central?

After losing the first 3 games to the Brewers, the Reds looked to prospect Andrew Abbott to stop the bleeding and pitched a gem. The very next day the Reds brought up #1 prospect Elly De La Cruz and he provided an immediate spark to the offense. There's a lot to look forward to with this Reds team and Joe and Alex are ready to discuss.

As we approach the summer months the Reds are 4 games out of first place with the first place Brewers coming in town for a 4 game series. Can the Reds get closer to striking distance to the top of the NL Central? Joe, Randy, and Alex discuss if the Reds should start to be considered buyers at the deadline if they remain in contention and if the team should consider extending David Bell's contract if the season continues in the right direction.

The Reds losing ways continue and there are some concerns with the starting pitchers.  Hunter Greene's velocity was down, Tyler Mahle can't get past the 5th inning, Reiver Sanmartin struggles to get through a lineup more than once.  Not much is going the Reds way.  And to make things worse, they still can't hit.  Who is the new team you should be paying attention to this season?  Miguel Cabrera gets hit number 3000, Angel Hernandez is the reason RoboUmps are being discussed, and so much more!

After one week of baseball games, there is so much to discuss.  The Reds split their opening series with the defending world champion Braves and Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo made their major league debuts, however, Phil Castellini's comments on Opening Day overshadowed what should have been a joyous occasion.  The guys are also concerned about a couple players in the lineup where decisions will need to be made about sooner rather than later.  The team heads west to face the Dodgers and Padres this weekend.  What kind of success can we expect out there?

The guys also discuss Clayton Kershaw flirting with perfection, players being mic'd up on the field, Alyssa Nakken, and motherf***ers.

MLB and the players are still negotiating the next collective bargaining agreement.  So the guys provide an update on the news around that as well as the Hall of Fame election.  Alex and Randy have been coping with the lack of baseball by watching baseball movies, which Joe has seen very few.  So we decided to test Joe's baseball movie knowledge.  How many movies can you name?

The guys get together and review the MLB Awards given out after the season.  Jonathan India earned NL Rookie of the Year and Nick Castellanos wins the Silver Slugger.  Were there any snubs?  MLB free agency is in full spring as several highly ranked players made their decisions.  Are the Reds in on any?  The guys express their frustrations with how this offseason has started for the Reds as we are still left with many questions before the imminent lockout begins tomorrow.  The guys finish up by talking about the coaching carousel in college football and the championship week games.

Joe and Alex discuss Mark Sheldon's article of 5 questions facing the Reds this offseason.  They also discuss the Cardinals and Yankees managerial situations and give a playoff update.  Finally, Joe and Alex debate who the best college football team in Ohio is.

The Reds may have missed out on the playoffs.  But that's not going to stop the guys from talking baseball.  We talk about each of the Wild Card and Divisional matchups and give our predictions for how the rest of the playoffs will go.  Meanwhile, the Reds are looking to next season by sending several prospects to the Arizona Fall League.  Who are the prospects to watch?  Finally, we discuss the weekend of college football where UC dominated Notre Dame and showed why they're the best team in the state of Ohio.

The Cardinals 17 game win streak finds the Reds mathematically out of the playoff race.  So the guys discuss what the playoff races in the AL and NL.  There are a couple guys in the league that put up historic numbers for their position.  And with the Reds out of it, we have seen a lot of young rookies play the last week.  Which one has impressed the guys the most?

Joe and Alex talk about the pivotal home series that very well could define the Reds fate for the postseason.  And in the middle of all the struggles, the ownership group thought it was a good time to make some big changes in the front office and team leadership.  Are they the right moves that the club should be making?  The guys also talk about the rest of the playoff picture and discuss one of the unwritten rules of baseball as it comes to player scout cards.
