Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training, and optimism is at an all-time high here at The Riverfront. Hope springs eternal, right? Chad and Nate discuss all the news out of Cincinnati's spring camp, including Tyler Stephenson's role, Nick Senzel's opportunity, MLB responds to Phil Castellini's latest nonsense ("not helpful")...and what's up with all these rule changes? Plus: a particularly raucous edition of Viewer Mail!
