Cincinnati Reds Show Upside and What Makes them Frustrating in Beating Atlanta Braves

The Cincinnati Reds took two games from the Atlanta Braves. The wins highlight both the Reds potential and their ongoing struggles. The episode opens with a reflection on the Reds' frustrating inconsistencies, despite some standout performances. Hunter Greene and Elly De La Cruz shine, with De La Cruz described as "breaking out" and "playing at a very, very high level." Spencer Steer and Jake Fraley also had good days. The podcast doesn't shy away from discussing the Reds' challenges, particularly in pitching and fielding. The Reds' record against other National League wild card contenders is a point of concern, as is the performance of key players like Frankie Montas and Alexis Diaz. Montas has struggled in his last two starts, while Diaz has been inconsistent throughout the season. Listeners can expect an in-depth analysis of the Reds' current state, including both the highs and lows, and what these mean for their playoff hopes. 0:00 Intro 2:07 Reds' Performance and Potential 4:00 Cincinnati Reds' Performance in Atlanta 15:27 Spencer Steer's Performance 16:58 Jake Fraley's Struggles and Comeback 19:01 Tony Santheon's Performance 26:11 Concerns About Pitchers' Performance 29:17 Reds' Fielding Struggles Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOReds?sid=YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@LockedOnReds?sub_confirmation=1 Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB BOOKMARK Sports Illustrated’s Cincinnati Reds site, Inside the Reds! https://www.si.com/mlb/reds/ Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
