Nick Kirby and Trace Fowler recap the first spring training game for the Cincinnati Reds and celebrate the return of baseball. They break down the performances of the three headline pitchers — Chase Burns, Rhett Lowder, and Julian Aguiar — and what their outings could mean for their roles with the club in 2026.

The guys also discuss Will Benson strengthening his case for an Opening Day roster spot after launching a home run on Saturday. Plus, they dive into the early impact of ABS during spring training and how it’s already influencing the game.

They wrap things up with a preview of tomorrow’s projected Reds pitchers and what to watch for next.
