The season ended abruptly, yes, so it's time to take stock in the year that was. Jeff begins a series about the season, beginning with three things that we know. The starting rotation was as good as advertised, the lineup was bad (but luck played a factor), and David Bell likes to tinker. Jeff expounds on those three items on today's podcast.

Dick Williams took on the role of social media negativity sham-wow for the Cincinnati Reds and it drove him away from baseball. At least that's what the article said. Jeff believes that points to a larger, hidden picture. He also talks about the play that led to the Reds turnaround in 2020.

During an era where hits were singles and pitchers were king, the Cincinnati Reds weren't very successful, save for two seasons. Right at the end of the era they won the World Series, in 1919, and one other year they won 88 games, in 1904. Jeff takes a look at the cast of characters from that season and breaks down the year that saw the NL Champion Giants refuse to play in what would have been the second World Series.
