Well, we were wrong about 70 victories, but we own up to it and discuss why the Reds fell short. We talk about the great Joey Votto. And we discuss the likely look of next year's rotation, bullpen, infield and outfield and ponder who from this team might be traded.

Yes, the Cincinnati Reds are about to complete their 14th losing season in the past 17 years. But we are Reds fans and we still care, still have hope and still root for every W we can muster. And we look forward to vintage baseball on Oct. 15 in Cedarville to celebrate Bumpus Jones day.

Monday Sep 04, 2017
Even when we don't think we have much to discuss about the Cincinnati Reds, we find plenty to say. What role do catchers play in pitcher development? Could two teams from the division make the playoffs? Jeff predicts next season's rotation and starting lineup, and Schebs isn't in it. And we discuss the merits of each former Red up for inclusion in the team's Hall of Fame.

Episode 17: Pitching promise or pitching phonies?
Sunday Aug 27, 2017
Sunday Aug 27, 2017
We're back from a two-week break and suddenly some of the young arms we've been promised just might be in the early stages of blossoming into a real rotation. What we've had this year can't be called a rotation. The only thing rotating has been who's in the rotation on a weekly basis. Tom is insightful as always about what he sees in the young arms. And we talk about what clutch hitting is and isn't as Kim tries to wrap his head around another modern metric.

The Cincinnati Reds are playing better, but they're going no where this season. So what we all want to know is whether or not these prospects we're banking on will indeed mature into good players. We discuss Castillo, Winker, Senzel, Mahle and Peraza. Looking back, Tom and Kim learn that the baseball draft is relatively new and that the first draft was a good one for the Reds.

There will be a day - and maybe a big event - in honor of Cedarville's only big-leaguer on the 125th anniversary of Bumpus Jones' historic no-hitter. We also discuss a strategy the Cincinnati Reds could pursue in pitcher development, the further failings of Pete Rose, our night at a Dayton Dragons game and we have fun trying to understand the metric called wOBA.

When you're out of contention, what do you watch for to find a way to enjoy the final two months of whatever phase of the rebuild this is for the 2017 Cincinnati Reds? We each share a top three plus a few honorable mentions. We look into the past at a maverick Reds pitcher, Johnny Bench's grand slams, the oldest pitchers to throw shutouts and a tribute to Reds Hall of Famer Lee May. And we get a little funky at the end.

Tuesday Jul 25, 2017
Trade talks involving the Reds are quiet this week, but we throw out a few suggestions for our Cincinnati Reds to consider. Hey, if they'd just listen to us all of their probelms would be solved, right. Isn't that what all fans think? We also delve into the baserunning metric of BsR to give Billy Hamilton a little love, talk about Pete Rose and plate appearances and the significance of shutouts and Hall of Fame pitchers in the 1905 World Series.
