Walks Will Haunt: A Cincinnati Reds podcast

BK and ARF join Wick to recap the week in Cincinnati Reds baseball, a week that - in the future - we might reference as this team's official coming out party. They slugged it out against the Atlanta Braves in perhaps the biggest regular season stage in GABP history, and then promptly picked up the pieces in an impressive road series win in Baltimore. They're fantastic, but they're flawed, but they've played well enough to deserve some help from their front office. All their competitors will get that, and they deserve it every bit as much.

ARF and BK join Wick to discuss how the Cincinnati Reds have ripped off an 11 game win streak. They've picked up key hits from every bat on the roster, gotten gutsy performances from the bullpen, welcomed back Joey Votto, and weathered blow after blow to their starting rotation. How are they going to keep it going? How much more can we ask of David Bell and Nick Krall? Is there a pitcher out there they can just go get?! Learn more about your ad choices.

Wick, BK, and ARF talk Elly De La Cruz's debut. How the hell could we talk about anything else first? On his initial impact, the energy and vibe it has helped develop within the Cincinnati Reds, and what - if anything - they can do to get enough pitching around him to make the rest of the 2023 season something more than just developmental. Oh yeah...there's some talk about Joey Votto's potential return, too! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand are destroying AAA pitching while the Cincinnati Reds can barely lift a ball out of their tiny home ball park. It's time for some promotions, and that's what Walks Will Haunt digs into this week. Oh...the Reds just took 2 of 3 at home against the mighty New York Mets, too. Learn more about your ad choices.

BK and ARF again joined Wick to discuss the epic hot streak and NL Player of the Week Award won by Nick Senzel, the former future of the Reds. Is he back? Is it for real? Can we begin to count on him, finally? That, notes on Andrew Abbott's absurd run through AA and now AAA, and how the Reds might navigate the decision to call up the future of 1B in Christian Encarnacion-Strand when the present/past of Joey Votto might be returning at the very same time.

BK, ARF, and Wick broke down the unlikely, brilliant sweep of the Texas Rangers by the Cincinnati Reds back in the friendly confines of GABP. Is Nick Senzel finally in a spot to succeed? Will Nick Lodolo's recent struggles be just a blip on the radar? Who will the Reds turn to with Wil Myers on the IL...and will they tap into the immense talent now healthy at AAA Louisville?

ARF and BK joined Wick to catch up on the world of the Cincinnati Reds, and the dismal week that had preceded was pleasantly interrupted by a comeback, walk-off win over the Texas Rangers as they hit record. Still, the struggles of Nick Lodolo paired with the glaring ineptitude by the team's offense loom large, and we're not sure how that'll right itself any time soon. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wick and BK break down the 3-2 start to the season by the Cincinnati Reds, including the emergence of team-carrier Jason Vosler. Where'd he come from, anyway?
