ARF and BK joined Wick to talk about the recent MLB Draft, as well as the daunting schedule awaiting the Cincinnati Reds as the season's second half begins on Friday. Six games against Milwaukee, both Arizona and San Francisco next, and a month-ending set against the Dodgers stand between the Reds and the moves they'll make at the deadline - will they win enough to prompt the front office to make 2023 more of a priority? Second half storylines abound, including what could be the last ride of Joey Votto with the team.

First place Reds enter the season's second half with everything to play for

BK and ARF join Wick to recap the week in Cincinnati Reds baseball, a week that - in the future - we might reference as this team's official coming out party. They slugged it out against the Atlanta Braves in perhaps the biggest regular season stage in GABP history, and then promptly picked up the pieces in an impressive road series win in Baltimore. They're fantastic, but they're flawed, but they've played well enough to deserve some help from their front office. All their competitors will get that, and they deserve it every bit as much.

Resilient Reds show they're good enough to deserve some help

ARF and BK join Wick to discuss how the Cincinnati Reds have ripped off an 11 game win streak. They've picked up key hits from every bat on the roster, gotten gutsy performances from the bullpen, welcomed back Joey Votto, and weathered blow after blow to their starting rotation.
How are they going to keep it going? How much more can we ask of David Bell and Nick Krall? Is there a pitcher out there they can just go get?!

Reds win streak reaches 11, and the best may be yet to come

Wick, BK, and ARF talk Elly De La Cruz's debut. How the hell could we talk about anything else first? On his initial impact, the energy and vibe it has helped develop within the Cincinnati Reds, and what - if anything - they can do to get enough pitching around him to make the rest of the 2023 season something more than just developmental. Oh yeah...there's some talk about Joey Votto's potential return, too!

Cincinnelly De La Cruz - He's here, and he's fantastic

Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand are destroying AAA pitching while the Cincinnati Reds can barely lift a ball out of their tiny home ball park. It's time for some promotions, and that's what Walks Will Haunt digs into this week. Oh...the Reds just took 2 of 3 at home against the mighty New York Mets, too.
