I heard you missed us, we're back! After a week's hiatus, the boys are back together to discuss their thoughts on the looks of the infield for the 2024 season. We know that Joey Votto will not be with the team for 2024, and recent rumors state Jonathan India will not be as well. So we discuss our thoughts on the all year 2 infield of CES, McLain, EDLC, and Noelvi Marte. We also dive into who will be the bench bats who can play the infield. Will Nick Senzel return?

Nate was joined this week by the Podfather, Bill Lack, and Wick Terrell of RedReporter.com and the Walks Will Haunt podcast!

To wrap things up they covered the latest Reds news - so long, Ricky Karcher - and took it home with some viewer mail questions.

It's now part 2 of our series, evaluating the Bullpen Options for the 2024 Season. Last year the Reds Bullpen was a major strength for the team..... Until it wasn't. As the team was struggling, the Bullpen was as well. Were they taxed? Did they pitch over their head when they were successful? Who could potentially join them in the 2024 season?

Joe Farfsing, host of The Bengals Show, joined Nate this week to give their thoughts on the state of the Cincinnati Reds and their hopes for the offseason. And better yet? They used quotes from the cinematic masterpiece Anchorman to drive their points home! Nate had some particularly strong takes on what to do with Joey Votto and the pitching staff. While Joe used his crystal ball to see if we're going to have more inane sound bites from the higher ups within the organization. They also, unfortunately, had to discuss General Manager Nick Krall's enthusiasm dampening comments about the team's future. But hey, they had fun doing it after Nate cooled off a bit!

But while the season isn't over, Chad and Nate are ready to hand out some superlatives for the 2023 season. Who was the team MVP? Who was the Rookie of the Year? Who was Cincinnati's "Come Out of Nowhere Player of the Year"? These decisions were surprisingly difficult and subject to some debate. Enjoy!
