The Cincinnati Reds' recent five-game winning streak in the 2025 MLB season, culminating on May 19, 2025, marks a significant turnaround for the team, pushing them above .500 with a 25-24 record. This streak, tied for their longest this season, showcases a blend of stellar pitching, solid defense, and timely offense under the guidance of new manager Terry Francona, hired on October 4, 2024, for his proven track record, including two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox. The streak began with a surge after dropping two games to the Chicago White Sox. Key to this run was the Reds' pitching staff, with starters like Andrew Abbott delivering, as seen in his five-inning performance against the Cleveland Guardians, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen was equally impressive, allowing just three earned runs over 20 innings. Defensively, the Reds were nearly flawless, committing only one error across 45 innings. Offensively, the team erupted for nine or more hits in each game, with a season-high seven doubles in their May 19 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Standout performances included Will Benson's three-run homer against the Guardians and contributions from stars like Elly De La Cruz, whose electrifying play continues to fuel the lineup. This streak, a stark contrast to last season when the Reds never reached .500 this late, has reignited fan optimism. Francona's leadership, paired with a rotation led by Hunter Greene (4-2, 2.36 ERA), positions the Reds as contenders in the NL Central. As they face upcoming series against the Cubs and Pirates, maintaining this momentum could solidify their postseason aspirations, making this streak a defining moment in their 2025 campaign In Seattle, the Mariners have prioritized season ticket holders for the 2025 MLB season, offering exclusive benefits like priority postseason ticket access, discounts on merchandise (15% off, 20% on Tuesdays), dining at The Boxyard (15% off), and parking. Through the MLB Ballpark app, members manage tickets, forward them, or sell extras on StubHub, the official fan-to-fan marketplace. However, the Mariners strictly regulate reselling, classifying those who buy primarily to resell as "Ticket Brokers," potentially losing benefits or facing account cancellation. Posts on X highlight similar policies in Indianapolis, where the Colts sent letters to season ticket holders, warning that purchasing tickets solely for resale violates ticketing policies. For the Indianapolis Indians (MiLB), 2025 season ticket holders enjoy up to 40% off gate prices, priority seating, exclusive event invitations, on-field batting practice, and a personal service representative. Flexible plans range from full-season to mini or flex packages, catering to varied schedules. Both teams emphasize enhancing fan experiences while enforcing strict anti-resale measures to protect loyal fans, reflecting a broader trend in sports ticketing to reward committed supporters and curb profiteering.

KiddChris and Sara find it funny that conversations about Pete Rose are happening at the White House, with President Donald Trump and Rob Manfred, the baseball commissioner, discussing the permanent ban. The president is noted as a big Pete Rose fan. There's speculation that an announcement about Rose's induction could happen by May 14th, coinciding with a celebration event. The ideal scenario would be the announcement happening at the ballpark on May 14th, potentially delivered by the Reds' long-time public address announcer, Marty Brennaman. The event on May 14th is expected to be a sold-out game with a standing ovation for Rose. Every single fan attending the May 14th game will receive a Pete Rose replica jersey. Marty Brennaman is expected to have a significant presence at the game on the 14th. If Rose goes into the Hall of Fame, Marty might induct him and introduce the family.Bill Belichick is on a media tour for his new book, "The Art of Winning". His 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan, is accompanying Bill Belichick everywhere, including interviews and even on the field with his team at UNC. Jordan reportedly interrupted and corrected Belichick multiple times during a CBS interview over the weekend, causing delays. She allegedly had a "hissy fit" and stormed out at one point. KiddChris and Sara commented on Bill Belichick's recent appearance, specifically a shirt with a hole at the collarbone. He was compared to the Brooklyn Brawler. One host suggested Jordan might be cutting holes in his sweatshirts to make him not look cute.KiddChris is dealing with a spider problem in his apartment, having received spider bites. He killed a large spider and bought spider repellent packets. He put the packets around, laundered his sheets on high heat, and slept in long clothes. The spider repellent packets smell like pot but he finds it "earthy" and okay compared to other bad smells.

There are only a handful of play by play voices that rise to the very top of their profession; Vin Scully, Jack Buck, Joe Buck, Marty Brennaman, Jon Miller, Vern Lundquist, Pat Summerall, and Jim Nantz. Our guest on this week's episode of The Approach Shot is in that group; Thom Brennman. From broadcasting Cubs games opposite Harry Carey to NFL Games for Fox while always remembering his roots in Cincinnati, Brennaman is (simply put) one of the All-Time greats. In August of 2020, Brennaman was fired from Fox when we was caught on a hot mic making an unfortunate anti-gay slur (which we do not condone) and immediately apologized, and has spent time since the incident consistently apologizing and insisting "that's not who he is", which many folks, including those in the LGBTQ+ community agree with. We spend much of this episode celebrating his great career, and while we don't usually get into the controversial, Thom spends time discussing the incident, as well. It's a very rewarding and intriguing episode of The Approach Shot.
