Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds left Yankee Stadium in stunned silence Tuesday night after the New York Yankees blew a three-run lead in the ninth. Gerrit Cole out-dueled Graham Ashcraft, but the Reds rookie kept it close and the Reds bullpen of Jeff Hoffman, Ian Gibault, River SanMartin, and Alexis Diaz kept the Bronx Bombers off the board. This is the Reds fifth win in a row and their longest streak of success this season. THE REDS ARE FUN AGAIN!

Elly De La Cruz is the generational talent that this Cincinnati Reds team can build around. Jeff is joined by Lindsay Crosby of Locked On MLB Prospects to look at how dominant De La Cruz has been and how he is rocketing up prospect rankings. The reds have some other exciting prospects making waves as we'll look at Andrew Abbott, Brandon Williamson, Jose Torress, Rece Hinds, and Allan Cerda. Also, what could Luis Castillo bring back in a trade, how good is Bobby Miller from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and what should the Reds strategy be for the MLB Draft?

The Cincinnati Reds face a tall task in trying to beat the New York Yankees and no one really thinks they can. Jeff looks at the one thing the Reds need to do to to leave Yankee Stadium with their heads held high. Luis Castillo is being linked to the Los Angeles Dodgers, now, and there is a key top prospect that Nick Krall is beginning negotiations with. This is a player that Locked On Dodgers does not want to see the Dodgers trade away. This also signals that the Reds front office may actually understand the stakes. Also, the All Star game has a fatal flaw that needs to be pointed out, but you may disagree.

The Cincinnati Reds put together the best week of the season, thanks to four walk-offs, and are getting healthy at a time where they may be able to play some better baseball. Jeff and Steve look at the walk-off heroes of Nick Senzel, Mike Moustakas, Albert Almora, and the balk rule and how it will have a positive impact on the rest of the season. Senzel is turning things around and with the return of Tyler Stephenson, and continued good play from All Star snub Brandon Drury, this Reds lineup is looking dangerous. Nick Lodolo's encouraging return has the pitching staff looking brighter. Combined with good performances from Hunter Greene and All Star Luis Castillo, the Reds used pitching to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays. Also, the Toronto Blue Jays reportedly want Luis Castillo and have some exciting prospects who could put the Reds on track for a deep contender in 2024.

BIG TIME REACTION to Cincinnati Reds sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays! Tyler Stephenson was huge in his return to the Reds lineup. Nick Lodolo and Hunter Greene pitched well. Brandon Drury is an All Star snub who hit the cover off the ball. Luis Castillo made the All Star Game after his third-straight phenomenal performance for the Reds. the Reds bullpen was fantastic. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, the Reds should still be active sellers at this trade deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates split a doubleheader in which most baseball fans cringed to watch. There were plenty of strange things, like David Bell intentionally walking Diego Castillo with two outs, and there were plenty of on-brand things like multiple defensive errors by the Pirates costing them the second game. Jeff and Steve welcome Ethan Smith from Locked On Pirates on to laugh and wonder at the present versions of the pirates and Reds and what the future may hold. Guys like Jonathan India and Roansy Contreras had good days. How will Ben Cherington and Nick Krall shape these two teams moving forward?

The Cincinnati Reds had a shot at a series win over the New York Mets but blew it. Jeff is joined by Ryan Finkelstein, Locked On Mets, to look at just how impressive this Mets team is despite encouraging performances from Graham Ashcraft, Nick Lodolo, and Nick Senzel. The Mets got Max Scherzer back and Dominic Smith is putting together some good at-bats while the Reds showed fight in a series they were clearly overmatched in. As the trade deadline approaches and trade rumors about the Reds start to swirl, could they possibly part ways with Joey Votto? Ryan believes the Mets would be the right team to convince Votto to waive his no-trade clause and go chase a World Series ring.

The Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets thanks to their bullpen. Yes, this is not a drill. Jeff and Steve look at the dominant performances, if only for a night, of Joel Kuhnel, Ross Detwiler, Jeff Hoffman, and Hunter Strickland. Not to be outdone, Nick Lodolo was back and dealing for the Reds, and despite being on a strict pitch count kept up with Max Scherzer. There are a few guys coming back from injury, like Tyler Naquin, that the Reds made interesting roster moves to make room for. Also, Tyler Stephenson is close to returning, but the guys wonder if he should've been back already. With trade rumors ramping up, the guys look at their ideal landing spots for Brandon Drury, Luis Castillo, and Tyler Mahle. There's also a rumor about Luis Castillo that the guys hate and hope doesn't become true.

The Cincinnati Reds did not get a win on Independence Day and Hunter Greene was a few pitches from being masterful. Jeff and Steve have some positives to point out on Greene that you may not be seeing as the Reds future ace continues to learn. Nick Senzel has been tearing the cover off the ball for the Reds lately and that brings up a question that has many answers. For the Fourth of July, Jeff and Steve got the chance to walk the American Flag out on the field. They talk about their ballpark experience to close out today's show.

The Cincinnati Reds did not get the best outings from Hunter Greene or Graham Ashcraft which largely doomed them against the Chicago Cubs. Jeff is joined by Sam Olbur from Locked On Cubs as they look at the talented young Cubs outfield, led by Christopher Morel, and the fireballing pitchers of the Reds. The Cubs scored runs in bunches off Greene and Ashcraft as Nico Hoerner and Wilson Contreras had good performances. Joey Votto and Nick Senzel seem to be turning a corner and could lead this lineup that is struggling in key situations for the Reds. The Cubs and Reds path forward seems similarly murky, though the Reds have more core pieces in place. With guys like Nick Lodolo and Tyler Stephenson coming back from injury, should the front office make the right moves, the Reds could be competing again in just a few years.
