On this episode the thread talks about the update that Reds nation just received minutes before the game. Hunter Greene is currently shut down and what impacts can this make to our Cincinnati Reds and…
Joe MetzgerGuestJohnHostSo let, let's start it off here.
We're gonna run through a couple things.
We got the Athletic Series.
We'll touch on that.
We do have to touch on front office takes with Joe, because I know you have some.
I think you and I will be in strong agreement on a lot of that.
Hunter Greene back to the IL with elbow soreness, and is it possible? Can the Reds do the impossible? Something Kirby Slater's been talking about for a while.
He's in the stands tonight, boots on the ground, greasing the pockets of the Castellinis.
I could never.
They won last night 5-4.
It was honestly a game that was a comedy of errors.
It was two bad baseball teams battling it out.
Elly De La Cruz, he has an error that gives the Athletics the lead, and I believe the top of the eighth and the bottom of the eighth after Elly and Sal get on after two wild pitches, the Reds take the lead back.
The Reds win that one five to four.
It is a good game to win, continuing a hot streak, and then right now actually, the Reds are in the bottom of the seventh.
That inning actually just ended.
Reds up three to two.
They pull this one out.
We're talking about five out of six series out of the break.
Does that at least make you enjoy watching the Reds a little bit more than you were in May and June?
Makes me think that the guys aren't giving up, right? I think that's a good thing.
Sure.
Would you agree with me on that, right? Like, listen, I think, I think we can all agree on this, and this is kind of how I feel right now.
