This week on the Pod, Chris is in San Diego, so Jake and Billy let it fly after being at all of the games this weekend. Watching this team this week has been frustrating and we bring up the glaring flaw with this roster and what they're missing to be true contenders and to make a real playoff push and possibly make a deep run. We also break down Hunter Greene's excellent week and why Zach Littell's time in the rotation might be over. Matt McLain has turned his season around and Reigned this week.

The Boys take the show outside to the Patio at Billy's house and we talk about the tough week that was in Los Angeles. We talk about the strikeout problem, the defensive woes and the structure of this Reds roster. We also talk about how Sal Stewart reigned this week and that he NEEDS to be up on this major league roster playing literally anywhere.

This week on the pod, we return to the fart dungeon at full strength and all the boys on board. We talk about taking the series in Los Angeles, dropping two out of three to the Sneks and what the rest of the stretch looks like. We also talk about if it's time to move Littell to the pen, Brady Singer recapturing his April magic, Andrew Abbott finally throwing a real stinker, how much help the bullpen needs to get through the stretch, why Chase Burns trip to the IL isn't just innings management, why they need to call up Sal Stewart and what they need to do to overtake the Mets for the last wild card spot. Also, Ke'Bryan Hayes Reigned this week but are we confident that he can keep it up? The show is brought to you by Cincy Light, the flavor of Cincinnati!

We went into this week saying, if the Reds split these two series, we’ll be thrilled. They did exactly that and we’re thrilled. They let the Phillies fall on their own sword with their defensive miscues, including an inside the park home run from Noelvi Marte. Then the Reds welcomed Milwaukee and picked up the Phillies defensive miscues. They had opportunities to take the first two games against the hottest team in baseball. Instead, they stopped their winning streak at 14 and took them down in an extra innings thriller. We also talk about Hunter Greene's return, Andrew Abbott's dominance, Miguel Andujar reigning this week, Jake Fraley shown the door, the 2022 trade and if it's panned out, Chase Burn's "injury" and what's going on with McLain at the dish. As always the show is brought to you by Cincy Light, the flavor of Cincinnati.

This week, the Boys all reconvene after their travels across the globe. We breakdown the week that was for our Redlegs, taking two out of three in Chicago and splitting with the vaunted Pirates in Pittsburgh. Nick Martinez reigned this week and we ask the big question, will he be the reason the Reds climb the mountain and make it to the playoffs this season? We also look at Littell's debut and not so great follow up outing, Nick Lodolo's blister problem and wonder if it's related to the curveball, Noelvi Marte's hot bat, Jake gives his take on the trade deadline, how the rotation will shake out with Hunter Greene returning, who will get the call to come up and give innings to this Reds bullpen and how much longer will Chase Burns be in this rotation with his innings limit.

The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, so we went to the Fart Dungeon (sans Jake) and we give our thoughts on the Reds "buyers" moves. Ke'Bryan Hayes will definetly sure up 3rd but will he find his swing again? Can Zack Little continue his newfound success in a Reds uniform? Will Miguel Andújar be better than Connor Joe? Were these moves enough to take out the Padres who made all of the moves? All of these questions and more will be answered! This show is brought to you by Cincy Light, the Flavor of Cincy!

This week on the pod, we are glowing over the Redlegs destruction of the Tampa Bay Rays. We talk about how they did it and why thump in the lineup can take this team over the top. Nick Lodolo reigned this week with a complete game giving Andrew Abbott a run for his money to be the teams active ace. We also shout out the Parker family and the introduction of Dave Parker to Cooperstown. We also look at who the Reds should be targeting aside from Geno and what it's going to take to get a deal done for Geno. Lastly, we talk about the Condiment Cow and how our studio needs one.
