They look at the scouting report on Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi before bringing in Sportsnet's Shi Davidi (17:21) to discuss Anthony Santander's place in the batting order, if Gausman will need to continue experimenting with his pitches, Bowden Francis' fastball, and why Brendon Little is the second-most important arm out of the bullpen. Then, former GM & MLB Network's Dan O'Dowd stops by (29:54) to share a front-office perspective on managing the lack of scoring opportunities, giving one player a contract while leaving another pending free agent without one, and Shohei Ohtani's desire to pitch again.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Watch Off the Bench Presented by UDF with Chatterbox Sports Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. LIVE on the Chatterbox Sports YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE to the channel to ensure you never miss a thing.   The Cincinnati Reds are currently mired in a frustrating three-game losing streak as of April 4, 2025, with each defeat coming by an identical score of 1-0. This skid, which follows a promising 14-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on March 31, has dropped the Reds to a 2-4 record early in the 2025 season. What makes this stretch particularly remarkable—and historically rare—is that it marks only the second time since 1920 that a Major League Baseball team has lost three consecutive games by a 1-0 margin, underscoring both the brilliance of Cincinnati's pitching and the utter collapse of its offense. The Reds' pitching staff has been nothing short of exceptional during this trio of losses. Across the three games—against the Rangers on April 1 and the San Francisco Giants on April 2 and 3—Reds hurlers have allowed just 12 hits and three runs, with starters like Nathan Eovaldi and Carson Spiers delivering standout performances. Eovaldi, for instance, tossed a complete-game shutout on April 1, only to see his effort wasted by a silent lineup. The bullpen has been equally stingy, keeping opponents in check but unable to secure a win due to a lack of run support. This level of pitching dominance should have Cincinnati sitting pretty, yet the team finds itself on the wrong end of history. Offensively, the Reds have hit rock bottom. After erupting for 14 runs in their series opener against Texas, they've been shut out for 27 straight innings, managing a meager nine hits while striking out 27 times over the three losses. Stars like Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, who powered the early-season surge, have gone cold, leaving manager Terry Francona scratching his head. “We'll figure it out together,” Francona said postgame, a sentiment that reflects both optimism and urgency. The bats, which showed such promise, have vanished at a critical juncture. This streak isn't just a statistical anomaly; it's a wake-up call. While the Reds can't clinch a playoff spot in April, they can certainly dig themselves a hole. With a tough four-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers starting today, Cincinnati's offense must awaken fast—or risk letting stellar pitching go to waste in a season that began with postseason aspirations. Baseball's unpredictability is on full display, and for Reds fans, patience is being tested early

MLB Texas Rangers are tied for the best record in the American League.  They have achieved it with pitching. Jacob deGrom, Jack Leiter, and Nathan Eovaldi have been GREAT!  Tonight Tyler Mahle, not one of the three, looks for redemption. JOIN THE DLLS DIEHARDS! https://www.alldlls.com/join-diehard

On April 2, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds face the Texas Rangers in the decisive third game of their series at Great American Ball Park, with first pitch set for 12:40 PM EDT. After splitting the first two games, the Reds aim to secure their first series win of the young season. The series opener saw Cincinnati's offense erupt for a 14-3 victory, powered by Elly De La Cruz's two home runs and seven RBIs, alongside Brady Singer's seven shutout innings in his Reds debut. However, the Rangers bounced back in Game 2, with Nathan Eovaldi delivering a masterful complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits in a 1-0 win, evening the series. Today's matchup features Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (0-0, 3.60 ERA) against Rangers righty Jack Leiter (1-0, 1.80 ERA). Greene, coming off a solid first start, will look to harness his electric fastball to stifle Texas' lineup, which has struggled offensively outside of Wyatt Langford's solo homer in Game 2. Leiter, fresh off his first MLB win, brings momentum but faces a Reds offense that showcased its potential in the opener. Cincinnati's key hitters, like De La Cruz and Gavin Lux, will need to solve Leiter early to avoid another quiet day at the plate. The Reds' pitching staff has shown promise, but consistency remains a question after Spiers' loss in Game 2. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after De La Cruz's error in the field last night. With a daytime start and 67-degree weather in Cincinnati, conditions favor a competitive game. A Reds win would signal early-season resilience, while the Rangers hope to ride Eovaldi's momentum and steal the series on the road. Expect a tight contest as both teams vie for the upper hand in this final showdown.

Dallas City Council approved plans by a 10-4 vote to turn Pepper Square, a Far North Dallas shopping center, into a mixed-use development with more than 850 apartments. In other news, just a month before Canada Rinaldi was set to walk down the aisle with her soon-to-be husband, she was attacked and brutally beaten by a man she did not know in Deep Ellum; Federal officials depicted a startling account of racism and discrimination at a North Texas homeowners association: Racial slurs flooding neighborhood Facebook pages as white supremacist organizations passed out flyers; and it's opening day in major league baseball. The Texas Rangers get their 2025 campaign underway today with a four game series against the Boston Red Sox. Nathan Eovaldi will take the mound at Globe Life Field at 3:05. It's important the Rangers get to slugging right out of the gate. With a starting rotation down two starters and a bullpen that is likely to be running a shuttle of long relievers between Arlington and Triple-A Round Rock, the Rangers need the strength of their team to show up early. Especially at home.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today's word of the day is ‘drunken sailors' as in deja vu as in repeat as in Yankees as in Brian Cashman as in the Yankees as in Max Fried. The Yankees signed Max Fried to the largest deal ever for a left-handed pitcher. A day after saying they wouldn't spend wildly. They did it. They need pitching. They need hitting. They were going to spend! (12:00) The Texas Rangers gave Nathan Eovaldi 3 years. Big money. Hmmm. They also made a late night trade for Jake Burger from the Marlins. (20:40) Roki Sasaki's agent met with the media yesterday to speak about possible landing spots. The issue Joel Wolfe said Sasaki is having is the Japanese media is being harsh on him. So will Sasaki land somewhere “soft” so the media leaves him be? (31:30) Review: Conclave. (38:55) Quick shoutout to Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg. Now onto Jed Hoyer and the Cubs. Seiya Suzuki could be traded. Why? Fans are not happy. (43:00) Rob Manfred is in Tampa, not Dallas this week. Why? Because the stadium for the Rays needs to be built and there are big problems going on with the county. (50:55) NPPOD.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
