Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

Aristides Aquino and Nick Senzel have been hard at work for the Cincinnati Reds, trying to increase their value in the Reds lineup. Jeff and Steve discuss to what extent it's working and how we can adequately evaluate them for the Reds future. Spencer Steer has been a joy to watch in recent games and its fair to wonder if he's the best early dividend that Nick Krall has seen on his trades for the Reds? Also, there is a fun fact about Nick Lodolo that has us wondering if it is something or nothing at all for the Reds.

Nick Lodolo di all he could for the Cincinnati Reds to avoid the sweep, but he got no help and the Pittsburgh Pirates won. Jeff and Steve are joined by Ethan Smith from Locked On Pirates to discuss the heroes of this series like Nick Lodolo, Alexis Diaz, Roansy Contreras and Rodolfo Castro. Guys like ONeill Cruz, Alejo Lopez, and Aristides Aquino provided surprises, as well. This series showcased the two worst teams in the NL Central, though, and they will both have a hard fight to avoid 100 losses on the year for the Reds and Pirates.

Luis Cessa has started a handful of games for the Cincinnati Reds now and it's clear they're experimenting. Jeff and Steve are skeptical as to whether the experiment will work, but they like the idea. The bullpen is in constant flux, with more new guys showing up daily, it seems, but Alexis Diaz and River Sanmartin have been bright spots. Speaking of bright spots, how good has Alejo Lopez been? He should be playing himself into a bigger role with the club as he is the second-best hitter, statistically, behind Jake Fraley.

Aristides Aquino has been a huge what-if for the Cincinnati Reds, but is that what-if turning into a possibility? Jeff and Steve discuss Aquino's recent performances for the Reds. The Reds suffered through another rough start from Mike Minor, though they need the struggling veteran in their rotation for the remainder of the season. Also, who would Steve pick for this year's Reds Hall of Fame vote and why it won't be a hitter.

The Cincinnati Reds are quite far from the playoff conversation so fans have begun to drift off. Jeff looks at the main reason to keep your attention on this team as one player has proven himself to be appointment viewing. The Reds Hall of Fame vote is going on and Jeff has an easy vote for one of Bronson Arroyo, Aaron Boone, Francisco Cordero, Aaron Harang, and Scott Rolen. Also, the Reds are getting ready to play eight games in six days against the Pittsburgh Pirates and St Louis Cardinals and the pitching staff does not seem ready. There is a key pitcher in Louisville that Jeff believes should be called up to start a game during one of these doubleheaders.

The Cincinnati Reds won their series with the Chicago Cubs after a great ninth inning from Alejo Lopez and Jonathan India. Jeff recaps the game and the role Lopez is playing himself into for the Reds. Should David Bell and Nick Krall be on the hot seat? Will Tejay Antone, Lucas Sims, or Tony Santillan be bullpen arms you can count on next year to support elite deliver Alexis Diaz?

Elly De La Cruz is the biggest reason to be optimistic about the Cincinnati Reds future. Jeff looks at the profile for De La Cruz and why everyone is so high on him changing the Reds fortunes. The Reds got a win from two guys having great games amidst a dull season. Mike Minor and Aristides Aquino showed why professional athletes have an otherworldly competitive nature. Also, should David Bell and Nick Krall be on the hot seat?

The Cincinnati Reds have had a dismal season and there are two key statistics (other than wins and losses) that can define it. Jeff and Steve look at what those two statistics are and try to narrow it down to one. The roster will be in constant upheaval for the rest of the final month of the season as Hunter Greene, Matt Reynolds, and Daniel Duarte are all on rehab assignments and close to returning to the big leagues. Nick Senzel has a sprained ankle and may need replacing. Nick Krall has been the busiest GM and that may not stop until the season ends. Also, Steve is ready to call the MVP race for the Reds in 2022 and you won't believe who he picks and if Jeff can convince him of another Reds player for the award.

Spencer Steer announced himself to Cincinnati Reds fans everywhere with a stellar major league debut. Jeff and Steve look at why his future is so bright for the Reds. Jonathan India has seen a resurgence to the player we expected him to be for the Reds in his second season. Hunter Greene has another rehab start in Louisville today, for some reason. Aristides Aquino is proving something to the Reds and to Reds fans, alike. Joey Votto in the booth is must-see television...or must-hear television.

The Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies are set to face-off for three titanic struggles at Great American Ballpark. Jeff is joined by Paul Holden from Locked On Rockies to look at why Brendan Rogers, Ryan McMahon, Jonathan India, and Spencer Steer are some dudes to watch out for on the Rockies and Reds sides. The pitching staffs in these games will be a mixed bag leading to a belief that the over looks tantalizing for the Reds and Rockies. The Reds lack of power would seem to be a concern, but the Rockies pitching staff may even out that concern. Also, just how frustrating Arte the Rockies and can the Reds relate?
