Episode Notes

Cincinnati Reds’ May slump raises big questions—are they just cold, or is this the real Reds? Tyler Stephenson’s struggles are dissected, while Ke'Bryan Hayes and TJ Friedl look lost at the plate. Could a bold move like promoting Edwin Arroyo and sending Friedl to Louisville jumpstart the offense?

Steven Offenbaker and Jeff Carr break down who can still be trusted in the lineup and bullpen, spotlighting Elly De La Cruz’s impact and the promise of Sal Stewart. The hosts debate whether Andrew Abbott has turned a corner, why faith in Graham Ashcraft remains, and if Nick Krall and Terry Francona need to act fast to keep Cincinnati’s postseason hopes alive. Can the Reds still steal the series from the Phillies and regain momentum, or is this a .500 team falling back to Earth?
