Redleg Nation Radio: A Cincinnati Reds Podcast

It's time for the Cincinnati Reds to get serious. That's the theme as Chad Dotson and Jason Linden discussed the end of the 2018 season and what the Reds need to do this winter to prove that they are serious about winning. That means acquiring the right pitchers, hiring the right manager, and showing an impatient fan base that they are willing to go "all-in." Jason also makes a comment at the end of this podcast that ensures he'll never be invited back to participate. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

The Reds are moving their top prospect, Nick Senzel, to the outfield? Chad Dotson and Jason Linden explore the possibilities with that move. Then they checked in on Joey Votto, and tried to put his career in historical context. After answering a listener question (send your questions in mp3 format to chaddotson AT redlegnation DOT com, and we'll try to answer it on a future podcast), Chad and Jason muse over whether the Reds have lost an entire generation of fans by putting losing teams on the field for 17 of the last 22 seasons, and what that means for the Cincinnati community.

Chad Dotson and Bill Lack are back again for a rousing discussion of all things Cincinnati Reds. The discussion begins with the Reds' failure to trade Matt Harvey, then somehow veers into a discussion of the greatness of Joe Morgan before returning to the topic of whether the Reds can be a playoff team in 2019. Finally, we answered this: "What's wrong with Joey Votto?" Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden got together again this week to discuss a fun weekend at the ballyard, where they got a chance to talk with some Cincinnati Reds front-office types. The conversation centered around the necessary elements to make the Reds a contending team next year, and the consequences if the Reds fail to go all-in. There best part, however, was the rousing discussion about "Player's Weekend," with Jason grading all the Reds nicknames. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

Chad Dotson was joined by Jason Linden again this week for a fun episode of Redleg Nation Radio. We began by discussing current news, answered a few Twitter questions, then asked whether ownership was meddling too much in baseball operations. Short answer: Yes. We were also joined this week by Jeff Fassero, the pitching coach for Cincinnati's Triple-A affiliate in Louisville. His comments on Robert Stephenson were extremely interesting, and confirmed some of the things we had long suspected. You aren't going to want to miss what he had to say. Fassero also had some illuminating comments on Cody Reed and Brandon Finnegan, among others. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden got together again this week for a rousing discussion of everything surrounding Cincinnati Reds baseball. First, the guys discussed the fact that the Reds are pretty much the best team in baseball right now. Next, it was an analysis of the current demand among some Reds fans (and writers) to sign interim manager Jim Riggleman to a full-time contract. Finally, a discussion of whether Scott Schebler should be the everyday center fielder. Plus, there's a lot of other nonsense, the same stuff you have come to expect from Redleg Nation Radio.

Chad Dotson and Jason Linden are talking about the Reds again this week, and Jason has a request: Let's all get together and vote Joey Votto into the All-Star Game this year. Good idea, right?

Chad Dotson was joined by Jason Linden again this week, and Jason had a bone to pick. But before that conversation, the guys discussed the promises made by Reds owner Bob Castellini when he purchased the franchise, and whether the ownership group had delivered on those pledges. The discussion then turned to whether the Reds will be in a position to live up to their promises any time soon...plus a healthy dose of Scooter Gennett talk!
