Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

Today's podcast is a high-level overview of what you can expect from each team in the NL Central this season. Who, among the group of four teams atop the division, will separate themselves? Will the Cardinals run away and hide? Will the Brewers bullpen continue to keep the scoreboard clean? Will the Cubs keep the band together long enough to make another run? And how pesky will those Pirates be, anyway? These questions are answered, and more, on today's roundtable episode.

Jeff looks at that as well as a question about Nick Senzel that he wants you to answer objectively, because he currently doesn't have an answer to it.

On today's Locked On Reds:

Jose De Leon has his full confidence in his arm's health and has seen his slider return to form and his fastball gain velocity because of it.

Hunter Greene sounds like a veteran starting pitcher and is ready to prove he should make it to the big leagues in 2021.

Eugenio Suarez, best shape of his life and all, is the Cincinnati Reds best option at shortstop.

Unbelievably, Cam Bedrosian was nabbed for next to nothing by the Reds and will be a big part of their bullpen. Jeff examines his credentials and looks at how the bullpen compares tp last year. He also gets excited about something David Bell said concerning his philosophy on bullpen use.

The Cincinnati Reds did not go out and make a move for a shortstop who is a marked improvement over Jose Garcia and give him some time in AAA to get his confidence up, so why not hand the keys to the shortstop car to Garcia and let him drive? Jeff answers that question and looks at how the Fernando Tatis Jr. contract extension affects the Reds pursuit of an extension with Luis Castillo and what #Spincinnati has to do with all of this.

Whether you like him, hate him, or are on the fence about him, David Bell has an opportunity to get another contract with some wins this year. The problem is it isn't totally up to him and what he can control. Jeff explains this on today's podcast and finishes his chat with John Sadak as they talk about some awesome moments John has had the chance to announce and what John thinks of the 2021 version of the Reds.
