Podcast appearances and mentions of nick lodolo

The Cincinnati Reds have some early projections from Fangraphs in and they are not promising. Jeff and Steve look at the bright spots like Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Graham Ashcraft, and Tyler Stephenson, and they look at everyone else. The Reds need to add a few pieces here and there to offset the deficiencies in this roster. Also, its Redsfest beginning today and the guys are excited for it! *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Reds rookie pitcher joined me on Sports Talk. We talked about his season, taking the next step, the pitch clock, Derek Johnson and Redsfest.

With Redsfest happening this weekend, the question surrounding Cincinnati Reds fans is "what is the point?" Jeff answers that question on today's podcast by looking at the core of this team, who is in, who is close, and what the Reds need to do this offseason in relation to the Reds core. Jonathan India and Tyler Stephenson lead the lineup while they wait on Elly De La Cruz to join them at the core. Who else will fill out the core of the Reds lineup? The pitching core looks solid with Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Graham Ashcraft leading the rotation and Alexis Diaz leading the bullpen. How will the Reds support the pitching staff this offseason? Who will Finn in the gaps? 2023 will be about seeing the young guys grow and supporting the core of the Reds. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Nick Lodolo entered his rookie season with the Cincinnati Reds with mixed expectations. Injuries had sapped his hype in 2021 and some prognosticators were disrespecting him (ahem, Keith Law). Jeff and Steve look at how the deck was stacked against Nick Lodolo in his first season with the Reds. They then look at how Lodolo overcame those doubts and pitched magnificently, thanks to a devastating curveball. Looking ahead, Lodolo is the Reds ace and should be the Opening Day starter in 2023. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds should have some money, not a lot, but some money to use this offseason. How best can the Reds utilize that? Should they go for quantity of players or should they look at a big name like Trea Turner? Or could the Reds use the money to lock up young players like Tyler Stephenson, Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, or Graham Ashcraft? It feels like the Reds have options for making the team better this offseason. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's show, we're taking a 2nd look at the 2019 draft. The first six picks seemed pretty obvious, and they've (surprisingly) all made it to MLB at this point. The pitching was considered pretty weak, but Nick Lodolo, Alex Manoah, and George Kirby are putting thought to bed and the real test of a draft's quality is the depth: Gunnar Henderson, Michael Harris, and Vinnie Pasquantino show that there was quality on all three days.

The Cincinnati Reds got a glimpse of the future this year with Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Graham Ashcraft seeing significant playing time. Steve is joined by Reds broadcaster Chris Welsh to ascertain which of the three is the best. Hunter Greene should not have trouble adding a third pitch for next year. Nick Lodolo may be the best of the three right now. Graham Ashcraft has a personality trait that helps him succeed on the mound. Also, the Reds bullpen is in good hands with Alexis Diaz. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cincinnati Reds had planned that basically, whatever happened during the 2022 season, they were going to sell, and sell Nick Krall did. Jeff and Steve go over why Nick Krall succeeded so well in his trades of Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, Brandon Drury, and the others. The Reds then had to finish the season with what was left and the pitching shone through. Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Alexis Diaz, and Buck Farmer all proved strong on the mound to end the year. The hitting is really what sealed the 100 loss season as they were not much of a worry for opposing pitchers. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is Nick Lodolo the Cincinnati Reds' best pitcher for 2022? Is Kyle Farmer the Cincinnati Reds' best hitter for 2022? Which player name will be saying "Who?" when someone brings him up in a few years from this 2022Cincinnati Reds team? Jeff and Steve give you their Reds player awards for 2022. They had a tough time coming up with best hitter, but best pitcher came down to Nick Lodolo and one other rookie stud. Then they look at two guys you won't remember by the end of this week, the two most obscure players to don the Reds uniform in 2022. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Graham Ashcraft, and Alexis Diaz are all sure to be in the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff next year. How does the rest of the staff fill out, though? Jeff and Steve give their confidence picks on who they believe will return to fill out this pitching staff in 2023. Guys like Lucas Sims, Tejay Antone, and Tony Santillan are due to come back healthy for the Reds which means, what, for guys like Ian Gibaut and Derek Law? Also, there will be a year-round sports book inside Great American Ballpark beginning in January.

Jeff also gets Bronson's take on Aaron Harang, Francisco Cordero, Aaron Boone, and Scott Rolen being on the ballot with him. Bronson also sees a promising future with Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Graham Ashcraft and thinks Lodolo has the mental makeup to be a successful starting pitcher for many years.

Elly De La Cruz just will not stop being awesome through the Cincinnati Reds minor leagues. He has had a phenomenal year and deserves Baseball America's award of Reds Minor League Player of the Year. Jeff discusses his potential and the Reds potential plan for him next year. The Reds have two games against the Boston Red Sox beginning tonight and Nick Lodolo is on the mound. Lodolo has a tall task in facing Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and JD Martinez, but he is up for it. On the flip side, the Red Sox have Brayan Bello who is a young and talented pitcher that is not to be trifled with. Also, how have Jay Allen, Chase Petty, Connor Phillips, Matt McLain, and Brandon Williamson fared this year in the Reds farm system? *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Chad and Nate discuss the week for the Cincinnati Reds and decide that Pittsburgh is the armpit of America. I mean, seriously. Screw those guys. We also discussed the new rule changes announced by MLB, Nick Lodolo's ascension to "ace" status, the return of RedsFest...and, in honor of episode #444, we announce the best player in Reds history ever to wear uniform number 44. Also, Pittsburgh is the worst.

Aristides Aquino and Nick Senzel have been hard at work for the Cincinnati Reds, trying to increase their value in the Reds lineup. Jeff and Steve discuss to what extent it's working and how we can adequately evaluate them for the Reds future. Spencer Steer has been a joy to watch in recent games and its fair to wonder if he's the best early dividend that Nick Krall has seen on his trades for the Reds? Also, there is a fun fact about Nick Lodolo that has us wondering if it is something or nothing at all for the Reds. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Nick Lodolo di all he could for the Cincinnati Reds to avoid the sweep, but he got no help and the Pittsburgh Pirates won. Jeff and Steve are joined by Ethan Smith from Locked On Pirates to discuss the heroes of this series like Nick Lodolo, Alexis Diaz, Roansy Contreras and Rodolfo Castro. Guys like ONeill Cruz, Alejo Lopez, and Aristides Aquino provided surprises, as well.

DVR and Al look back (and a little bit ahead) on the 2022 seasons produced by rookie pitchers. They focus on Spencer Strider, George Kirby and Shane Baz as starters who could be fantasy aces in the near future, and they also look at some rookie starters who made strong cases for their fantasy draft status in 2023, including Reid Detmers and Nick Lodolo. DVR and Al also try to make sense of mixed seasons from McKenzie Gore, Aaron Ashby and others, and they discuss rookie relievers, such as Félix Bautista, Jhoan Duran and Andres Muñoz, who could make an even bigger impact next season.

The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates make for dramatic if, albeit, fundamentally horrid baseball. Jeff is joined by Ethan Smith as they look at the good performances by Jake Fraley for the Reds and Kevin Newman for the Pirates, the rough performances by both bullpens, and why neither team saw the other's best pitcher.

They also get into a discussion about some shared ties between the 2022 Phillies and Reds teams of the past with connections to Nick Castellanos and Phillies' Pitching Coach Caleb Cotham. Finally, a discussion about what to look forward to the rest of the season with two very different team trajectories for each side - the Phillies looking to hunt down a playoff spot, and the Reds looking to prove that their rebuild could take a leap next season!

Jose Barrero hit a walk-off single as Nick Lodolo and Alexis Diaz pitched a combined shutout to help the Cincinnati Reds avoid the sweep from the Philadelphia Phillies. Jeff and Steve are joined by Connor Thomas from Locked On Phillies to detail the dominant hitting from the Phillies, the rough pitching (except for Wednesday) for the Reds, and how the Phillies have transformed after the firing of Joe Girardi. The Reds and Phillies have a key connection that is benefitting the Phillies and it is not Nick Castellanos. Also, the Reds and Phillies futures are very different as the Phillies look like a layoff team. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/bPdhTQsF Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Next, a preview of the series finale and a pitching matchup between Ranger Suarez and Nick Lodolo that could be the most competitive matchup on the mound of any game of this series. Could this end up being a trap game on getaway day for the Philadelphia Phillies?

The Cincinnati Reds have a clear path forward for the rest of the 2022 season. Jeff and Steve tell you what that is. Whether you're looking at Jose Barrero, Graham Ashcraft, Hunter Greene, or Nick Lodolo, David Bell needs to be doing right by the player and making sure they get plenty of reps but are also protected. Noelvi Marie hit a pair of home runs last night in his Dayton Dragons debut and figures to be one of the two top prospects for the Reds with Elly De La Cruz. Also, Luis Castillo was brilliant in his debut win for the Seattle Mariners.
