Redleg Nation Radio: A Cincinnati Reds Podcast

We already recorded one podcast this week -- a really fun episode in which Bill Lack and Chad Dotson solved all the problems facing the Reds. (And it must have worked, since they haven't lost since.) You should give that one a listen. Given the latest news about Nick Senzel's injury, however, Jason Linden and Chad got together for a short Emergency Edition of the Redleg Nation Radio podcast.

On this week's episode, Chad Dotson and Doug Gray and are talking about the newest Reds, selected by Cincinnati in this week's MLB Draft. From Jonathan India, to potential UVa commits, to a couple of kids named Josiah, we break down everything you need to know about this year's draft class. Of course, we had to start the podcast with some discussion about the current big league Reds. And Chad gave a little love to the podcast listeners who showed up at our recent book signing.

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden are talking about the Reds again this week, and Jason has a request: Let's all get together and vote Joey Votto into the All-Star Game this year. Good idea, right? The guys also discuss the completely absurd decision by the Cincinnati Reds to bench young Jesse Winker in favor of a guy who has no chance of contributing to the next good Reds team.

Chad Dotson was joined by Jason Linden again this week, and Jason had a bone to pick. But before that conversation, the guys discussed the promises made by Reds owner Bob Castellini when he purchased the franchise, and whether the ownership group had delivered on those pledges. The discussion then turned to whether the Reds will be in a position to live up to their promises any time soon...plus a healthy dose of Scooter Gennett talk!

Chad Dotson was joined by Doug Gray (RedsMinorLeagues.com) for an optimistic and ebullient episode of Redleg Nation Radio, as the guys reflected on the fact that the Reds actually won 7 out of 9 games, including a beautiful West Coast road trip. Seriously, this is a thing that actually happened. Chad and Doug also discussed what the Reds should do with Homer Bailey and Robert Stephenson, and whether interim manager Jim Riggleman should get the credit for Cincinnati's recent run of good baseball. Finally, Chad had a quick movie review for everyone. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

  It's an emergency edition of the Redleg Nation Radio podcast! Chad Dotson and Jason Linden discuss the acquisition of Matt Harvey in exchange for longtime friend of the podcast, Devin Mesoraco. The conversation, however, eventually returned to the way the Cincinnati front office is conducting this rebuilding process. The results aren't pretty, as you might imagine.

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden got together again for this week's episode of Redleg Nation Radio, but the conversation was a little different than our usual fun and games. We called out the Cincinnati front office for refusing to be honest with fans leading up to the 2018 season, and made a demand of the powers that be... Call Nick Senzel up NOW!

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden got together again this week to discuss the firing of Reds manager Bryan Price, and what it means for the current version of the ol' Redlegs. The guys also did a deep dive into their expectations for the rest of the 2018 season, and they even passed a little judgment on the current state of the Reds "rebuild" process.

Jason Linden joined Chad Dotson this week to discuss the Cincinnati Reds' horrific start, and whether anything can be salvaged from this season. (Short answer: plenty to be optimistic about.) The guys also discuss the managerial failings of Bryan Price, and his future with the Redlegs. That was a less optimistic conversation. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

A rough start for the Reds has some fans thinking that these are the same old Cincinnati Reds that have lost 90+ games the last three seasons. Chad Dotson and Jason Linden examine that question, and come to some conclusions. Plus, the guys show some love for the Nation, an incredible and passionate community of Reds fans.

It's a special edition of Redleg Nation Radio! Chad Dotson was joined by frequent podcast co-host Bill Lack for a special episode to discuss "The Big 50: The Men and Moments that made the Cincinnati Reds," the new book written by Chad and Chris Garber. Bill just finished the book, and he has some thoughts. Bonus: Chad and Bill completely ignored the 2018 Cincinnati Reds, and given the results of the opening series, this is a good thing.We'll be back on Friday with our regularly scheduled episode of the podcast.

After a relatively quiet spring, we finally have some actual news about the Cincinnati Reds. Lots of cuts have been made, players have been released and sent to Triple-A, Nick Senzel will be playing second base at Louisville, and Eugenio Suarez has signed an outstanding long-term contract. Chad Dotson and Jason Linden have some fun discussing all the news. Chad also tries to get Jason to convince him that he should be optimistic about the 2018 rotation, but Chad is not completely on board. You decide: who is right and who is wrong?

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden are together again this week to discuss everything that's happening in Redleg Nation. The primary topic: after this week's injury news involving pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Brandon Finnegan, are the Reds in for a repeat of 2017's bad luck? Also...is there a method to manager Bryan Price's spring lineup madness? Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

Chad Dotson is joined this week by his most frequent co-host, Editor Emeritus of RedlegNation.com Bill Lack. The discussion keeps returning to the likelihood of the Reds being a .500 club (or better!) in 2018. Bill also asks why there are so few open competitions for spots in the lineup this spring, especially given how bad the Cincinnati Reds have been the last three years. Most importantly: is it time to PANIC over Joey Votto's lack of production this spring? Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

Chad Dotson and Doug Gray (of RedsMinorLeagues.com) talk about everything that's happening out in Cincinnati Reds spring training. Of note: some young pitchers are looking very good, and almost all the pitchers are healthy. How excited should we be about that? On the other end of the spectrum, Chad discusses the single thing that could happen on Opening Day which might cause apathy to set in. (Hint: it involves Chad's favorite player.)

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden got together again this week for another rousing episode of the Redleg Nation Radio podcast. The guys began by following up on last week's glorious discussion about the possibility of Nick Senzel as the potential starting shortstop of the Cincinnati Reds. Quickly, however, the discussion moved on to Joey Votto's recent comments that something has to change soon with this rebuilding process. Winning starts now? Finally, should we be panicking over manager Bryan Price's first spring training lineup, featuring Billy Hamilton as the leadoff hitter? (Short answer: no.)
