Tuesday Oct 08, 2024
Not long after the mixed emotions and sad passing of a troubled legend, we celebrate the arrival of a new manager and a new hope. Strange times we live in everywhere we look.

Episode 61: The Reds, the minors, Kaline, the greatest living ballplayer
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
We do our best to make sense of this disappointing first half of 2024. Then we talk about the love for minor-league baseball with our special guest, his love for Al Kaline, and the impossible task of picking the greatest living ballplayer now that the great Willie Mays has passed.

Saturday Apr 27, 2024
The Reds are close to finishing off their best April in recent memory with a killer schedule ahead in May. But fear not. This team is in it for the long haul. Listen in as Jeff talks with Locked On Reds podcast host Jeff Carr.

More excited for the season than in a decade ... at least

The Reds have adversity to contend with, but we believe this team will contend in the NL Central, probably win it, and this young team will make the playoffs. We like the improved depth, and just plain old like the fact that there are actual reasons to be optimistic.

Episode 58: We might be dinosaurs, but this is potentially our best show yet
Thursday May 04, 2023
Thursday May 04, 2023
Yes, that's a long title, but we were long winded. We like a few things we see but we remain relegated to the fact that this team is a ways off. The most talked about players under Reds control aren't in Cincinnati yet, which makes it difficult to see the future. We have an interesting discussion that goes slightly off the rails about potential. And dinosaurs. It's hard to explain. You'll just have to listen.

Episode 57: Lineups, philosophies, rules and hope
Tuesday Mar 28, 2023
Tuesday Mar 28, 2023
We talk about the potential lineup this season (and familiarize Tom with some names), we don't quite drool over the big three at the front of the rotation (but we like them a lot), we talk rebuilding philosophy with varying degrees of liking and trusting it, we learn the new rules and we pick the number of games the Reds will win. Don't get too excited about that last one. Also, random things happen like Billy Hamilton.

Episode 56: Old-man apathy
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
Yes, it's been a while. Almost as long as the Reds went between wins this season. Well, not quite, but you get the point. Heck, we recorded this at least two weeks ago and are just now getting around to posting it. Yes, we are apathetic. Can you blame us? We agree that the Reds are bad as presently constructed. But we don't completely agree on how to fix it. If you care, give a listen. If you don't care, listen anyway. There are no winners and losers on this podcast. But apathy? Yeah, we're here for that.

Episode 55: The chains are off
Wednesday Mar 30, 2022
Wednesday Mar 30, 2022
The lockout behind us, the Reds are gearing up for another season. Will they be any good? Lots of doom and gloom out there after the trades. But what are the Reds really up to? Will they be terrible? Probably not. Will they make the expanded playoffs? Probably not. But there's baseball and our summer conversations will be fun. And Joey has a new bat.

Episode 54: Hoping the Reds make a late-season splash
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
The Reds will be back to full strength soon and the bullpen has reinforcements. For that we are glad. We talk about who probably goes when the injured players return. And Kim reminds all that it was Jeff who predicted a winning season.

Episode 53: Chasing the Brewers
Friday Jul 09, 2021
Friday Jul 09, 2021
It has been too long. But we finally were able to all be in the same place at the same time and talk Reds. Mostly we're waiting to see what happens over the next week against the Brewers. We are hopeful, but we are still crossing our fingers about the bullpen.
