Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are moving on from hitting coach Alan Zinter, bullpen coach Lee Tunnell, director of health and performance Geoff Head, first base and infield coach Delino DeShields, and a few other coaches after losing 100 games for the second time in franchise history. Jeff and Steve break down whether these moves are something or nothing at all. Also, Reds general manager Nick Krall had a poignant quote about 2023 that has Jeff and Steve a bit skeptical as to what will happen next year. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

With Aaron Judge hitting his 62nd home run it's fair to wonder if the Cincinnati Reds team record for home runs in a season will be broken by any players currently in the organization? Jeff and Steve attempt to pick a player who will break George Foster's record. The Reds avoided loss number 100 AGAIN thanks to heroics from the young bats of Spencer Steer, the base-running of Stuart Fairchild, the improving plate discipline of Jose Barrero, and the bat of Chuck Robinson. Also, Joey Votto has acquitted himself well with the fanbase since going on the injured list. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hunter Greene's final four starts of the year for the Cincinnati Reds showcased the kind of talent that has everyone so excited. Jeff and Steve look at just how exciting it is to see him finish the season so well. The outfield has been a work in progress all year and with guys like TJ Friedl, Jake Fraley, Stuart Fairchild, and Aristides Aquino, do the Reds have their outfield for 2023? Also, Alexis Diaz accomplished a few things the Reds and MLB have not seen in a while on Tuesday after noticing another save. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds have multiple relief pitchers who suffered injuries that either erased 2022 or cut it well short. The Reds believe Tejay Antone, Lucas Sims, and Tony Santillan can return and improve their bullpen, but is this a sound strategy or blind hope? *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds can make history in the final six games of the year against the Chicago Cubs. Jeff tells you why he is kind of rooting for it to happen. Graham Ashcraft, Conner Overton, Michael Siani and Spencer Steer all have some more to prove here in the final six games of the Reds season. Also, as history looms, the Cubs come into their series with the Reds on a bit of a hot streak that has more to do with their pitching and less to do with their hitting. Why Adrian Sampson and company have a lot to say about whether the Cubs can help the Reds make history will be the topic of our final minutes of today's podcast. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Elly De La Cruz just will not stop being awesome through the Cincinnati Reds minor leagues. He has had a phenomenal year and deserves Baseball America's award of Reds Minor League Player of the Year. Jeff discusses his potential and the Reds potential plan for him next year. The Reds have two games against the Boston Red Sox beginning tonight and Nick Lodolo is on the mound. Lodolo has a tall task in facing Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and JD Martinez, but he is up for it. On the flip side, the Red Sox have Brayan Bello who is a young and talented pitcher that is not to be trifled with. Also, how have Jay Allen, Chase Petty, Connor Phillips, Matt McLain, and Brandon Williamson fared this year in the Reds farm system? *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds saw some good pitching from Hunter Greene, Luis Cessa, and company against the St Louis Cardinals. Jeff looks at what it means for the Reds moving forward. Did the St Louis Cardinals cheat to beat the Reds on Saturday night? Also, the Reds lineup is like a survival reality show, they do just enough to get by. But Aristides Aquino and Nick Senzel had a good series in St Louis while Donovan Solano may see his playing time fluctuate. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
