Redleg Nation Radio: A Cincinnati Reds Podcast

As they do every spring, Bill Lack had a chance to catch up with Reds broadcaster (and crafty lefty) Chris Welsh for another discussion about the Cincinnati Reds. This year, the conversation is tinged with a lot of excitement over what should be a really fun year for the ol' ballclub. Chad Dotson and Doug Gray also take a quick moment to update everyone on the latest news out of Reds spring training, including a shortstop prospect that has Chad really happy.

Chad Dotson and Chris Garber got together for what ended up being one of the most ridiculous episodes of Redleg Nation Radio ever. Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training, and we're a little giddy over the fact that the Reds actually might be good in 2020. We discuss the expectations game, along with the good news on Eugenio Suarez, and a bunch of other topics -- including a certain 1970s game show -- on the World's Most Dangerous Podcast. Enjoy!

The Reds were unable to sign catcher Yasmani Grandal, one of their targeted free agents. So what's next?

You may have noticed that the Reds haven't been to the playoffs in a while. Well, we're pretty hopeful that the Reds will be returning to the post-season in 2020. This week, Chad Dotson had to take a hastily-arranged trip out of the country -- the law is finally catching up to him! -- so we thought we could revisit a time when the Reds were new to the playoff thing, and when it was a novelty to most Reds fans. We're talking about 2010, of course. The Reds surprised everyone that season by winning the NL Central Division. This week's podcast is our 2010 Reds playoff preview with Chad and Chris Garber. Listening to this one brought back a flood of great memories...memories of the type that we hope we'll be able to make again next October. Please support us on Patreon if you are able.
