Walks Will Haunt: A Cincinnati Reds podcast

ARF and BK joined Wick to talk about the recent MLB Draft, as well as the daunting schedule awaiting the Cincinnati Reds as the season's second half begins on Friday. Six games against Milwaukee, both Arizona and San Francisco next, and a month-ending set against the Dodgers stand between the Reds and the moves they'll make at the deadline - will they win enough to prompt the front office to make...

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...

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...

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 r...

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, 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? Learn more about your...

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 cho...

Mo Egger of ESPN 1530 joined Wick and BK to try to find silver linings in the 1-5 road trip from the Cincinnati Reds, of which there should have been many.

Learn m...

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? That headlines a series of positive vibes out of the roster at the moment, with Jonathan India looking like his ROY self and the Big Three in the rotation looking very much the part. Will it last as the schedule gets tougher, though? Learn m...

Wick, BK, and the one and only Arkansas Reds Fan talk Opening Day as it returns to Cincinnati with neither restrictions nor Phil Castellini's foot in his own mouth - yet. What will the roster hold? Which Cincinnati Red might break out this year? Can anyone around here pitch? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
