REDS POSTCAST: Nick Lodolo SHELLACKED as Cincinnati Reds FACE Michael Toglia Injury Nightmare

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 05:04:53 GMT

The Cincinnati Reds unravel as Nick Lodolo gets rocked by the Arizona Diamondbacks in a tough 9-0 shutout loss. With Lodolo surrendering 6 earned runs over just 3 1/3 innings and the starting rotation shaky after Hunter Greene’s season-ending injury, the Reds’ postseason hopes face new doubts. Michael Toglia suffers a dislocated shoulder, further thinning an already depleted outfield, while questions swirl about Will Benson’s potential return and TJ Friedl’s ongoing struggles at the plate.

Tim Daniel breaks down Julian Garcia’s impressive relief appearance and spotlights strong showings from Dane Myers and Ke’Bryan Hayes, despite the team’s offensive drought. The episode covers recent roster shakeups, updates on Spencer Steer’s season-ending status, and examines what lies ahead as the Reds’ search for reliable arms intensifies. Can Cincinnati stabilize its rotation in time, or will mounting injuries and inconsistency derail their National League campaign?

Sal Stewart DISRESPECTED in NL Rookie of the Year Race | Cincinnati Reds Lugger DESERVES Award

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 16:27:27 GMT

Cincinnati Reds Rookie Sal Stewart overlooked in NL Rookie of the Year race despite outpacing JJ Weatherholt in home runs, RBIs, and slugging. Are national writers unfairly ignoring his all-around offensive production? Jeff and Steve break down Stewart's undeniable impact, defend his case against advanced defensive metrics, and draw parallels to the Tony Perez Hall of Fame debates.

The show also questions the Reds' defensive woes, highlighting outfield confusion between Dane Myers and TJ Friedl and scrutinizing Terry Francona’s unfulfilled promises on fundamentals. Is the front office to blame for the lack of true outfielders? Previewing the pivotal series against the playoff-hopeful Arizona Diamondbacks, the hosts spotlight Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, and a resurgent Matt McLain as Cincinnati faces a brutal September schedule. Will the Reds end the season strong?

REDS POSTCAST: The Cincinnati Reds Collapse as Matt McClain’s Grand Slam Can’t SECURE Wild Victory

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 22:53:11 GMT

The Cincinnati Reds snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in chaotic 10-9 loss to St. Louis Cardinals. Can Matt McClain’s breakout performances offset the team’s late-game heartbreaks?

Tim Daniel recaps one of the wildest games of the season, spotlighting McClain’s grand slam, Brady Singer’s solid outing, and the costly defensive collapse in the ninth inning that saw Dane Myers and TJ Friedl struggle to seal the win. Key takeaways include the Reds’ explosive five-run comeback, untimely outfield miscues, and the bullpen’s unraveling against their division rival. The episode also examines recent trends in McClain’s hot streak, up-and-down contributions from the lineup, and the impact of errors on Cincinnati’s playoff hopes.

With a tough road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks looming, can Nick Lodolo and the Reds rebound from this brutal loss? Don’t miss this spirited breakdown of Cincinnati’s rollercoaster ride.

REDS POSTCAST: The Cincinnati Reds STUN St. Louis Cardinals as Sal Stewart BLASTS Go-Ahead Homer

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 02:16:11 GMT

The Cincinnati Reds stun the St. Louis Cardinals with Sal Stewart’s clutch 3-run home run and game-saving defense. Is Stewart now the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year after notching his 100th RBI? Victory at Great American Ballpark came down to late-inning chaos, aggressive bunt singles—including Matt McClain’s key eighth-inning play—and the bullpen holding strong despite a tense finish.

Tim Daniel breaks down the Reds’ evolving offensive approach, contrasting recent struggles with tonight’s creative baserunning. Key talking points include Matt McClain’s timely resurgence, Chase Burns’ five-inning start amid speculation about innings limits, and Luis Mey’s emergence as a potential closer after nearly 11 straight scoreless frames. The episode also explores roster construction debates and what the big win means for the Reds’ momentum in the NL Central. Can Cincinnati build on this gritty effort and keep climbing the standings?
