Elly De La Cruz is a star and just pulled off something incredible, but what we didn’t know is what he was doing when Terry Francona was first hired, and it says a lot about his character. A true class act. Our GameChanger of the Week focuses on managers, especially with all the wild news that broke this week. Alex Cora is out, Rob Thomson is out—so what does that mean for the game? Tim Kurkjian weighs in, and Jeff brings it all the way back around to Little League. Nick Kurtz keeps getting on base, but he’s still short of the record for most consecutive games with a walk. The current leader might surprise you, and no, it’s not Barry Bonds. Plus, Drew Romo has done something that caught all of us off guard. He’s off to a really fun start, no debating that. On This Date in baseball history, Bob Feller comes up, along with a great story involving one of our favorite guests, Steve Sparks. We share some laughs looking back at that interview, and don’t worry, Feller comes back into the conversation later in Alphabest. We wrap things up with Wheel of Kurkjian, Three Cards in the Bathroom, and a Team Tim that highlights some of the best sitcoms of all time, at least according to Tim. Trust me, Jeff had plenty to say about the one major omission, but hey, it’s not called Team Jeff. Thanks so much for listening or watching and for spending time with us.

The 2026 baseball season is open. And, just like that, it's over! That's right, we lost two games to old friend Terry Francona and his sidekick Eugenio Suarez. Time to immediately doom and gloom. 162-0 is off the table. Call it a season. What do Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early have in common? Shoved. That's right, shoved. Even better, Wilyer with the bonks. That's why they call him bonkin' Wilyer. Three games in and there's a lot to notice with this team. Even Connor Wong had an extra base hit! Maybe the 2026 Red Sox will be redeemable after all. https://linktr.ee/nasppodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailThe MLB 2026 season is almost here, and we're not waiting for the standings to tell us what to think. We kick things off with a real fan question that turns into a bigger debate: is 162 games still the right length when the MLB playoff format keeps expanding and October weather starts changing how the sport looks on TV and in the ballpark? From freezing April nights to the idea of starting closer to May, we get honest about what makes the baseball experience better for players and fans.Then we go full season preview mode with a panel and a pile of predictions. I'm joined by TJ, Tony, Bob Gavalier, and Fiddy as we pick World Series matchups, wrestle with the “Dodgers problem,” and try to sort out a wild American League that could send a lot of good teams home early. We talk Red Sox, Royals, Tigers, Yankees, Mariners, Mets, Brewers, and the ripple effects of pitching depth, health, and deadline moves. If you're looking for 2026 MLB predictions that sound like what you'd hear at the bar after a game, this is that conversation.We also hit the fun debates that always matter more than they should: which teams will surprise everyone, which contenders could face-plant, whether afternoon games beat night games, and who really has the better managerial resume between Terry Francona and Dave Roberts. Finally, we break down the pitch clock, the ghost runner in extra innings, and why rule changes can improve pace while still leaving fans divided on tradition.

Nick Kirby breaks down the biggest storylines from Cincinnati Reds Spring Training in Goodyear as Terry Francona sets the tone with a clear message: “It's time.” Hear the latest from Francona, including his responsibility for managing Elly De La Cruz's workload in 2026, why Elly won't play 162 games this season, and how the young superstar is entering camp stronger and more confident. Elly is reportedly up to 217 pounds — nearly 15 pounds heavier than last year — and feeling ready for big expectations. Nick also dives into standout performances from camp, including Chase Burns dominating live BP with three strikeouts and a groundout. Burns discusses major improvements to his fastball and curveball and is set to throw a couple of innings in the Reds' Spring Training opener against the Cleveland Guardians. The competition for the final rotation spot heats up, while Nick Lodolo shares why he believes the Reds can have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Plus, updates on Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson's innings management after missing significant time. Matt McLain's maturity and approach at the plate have impressed Francona, who views him as the ideal No. 2 hitter. Will Benson's spring is off to a much different start compared to last year. Tyler Callihan is fully cleared and focusing on second base and left field after last season's injury. Sal Stewart is making noise this spring, working primarily at first and second base while openly chasing NL Rookie of the Year honors. Stewart has been studying first base defense and could see time at multiple infield spots as roster construction takes shape. Nick also covers updates on Edwin Arroyo, who expects more power in 2026 with his shoulder surgery behind him, and Eugenio Suárez's strong early impression in camp, including praise for Arroyo's potential. The two could face off in the World Baseball Classic. Plus: Francona's thoughts on veteran NRI Nathaniel Lowe and roster construction Pierce Johnson on bringing playoff experience to the bullpen TJ Friedl on leading off under Francona Prospect updates, including praise for Rodriguez and Cam Collier What to expect from the Reds' Spring Training opener and how to watch RedsTV Nick also previews upcoming coverage, including daily recaps after every Spring Training game, live postgame shows, and a full breakdown of how fans can watch RedsTV all season long.

Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin break down a revealing report from Bob Nightengale detailing the turbulent offseason surrounding Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds. The discussion centers on Greene's 90-minute sit-down, where he made it clear he loves being in Cincinnati, does not want to be traded, and pushed back strongly against speculation surrounding his 2025 season. Greene also addressed his decision to decline repeated invitations from World Baseball Classic officials, choosing instead to remain with his Reds teammates during spring training. Nick and Craig dive into Greene's sharp response to narratives questioning the length of his recovery from a strained right groin that sidelined him for 2½ months last season. Greene called suggestions that he delayed his return or didn't want to be with the team “disrespectful” and “disingenuous,” firmly rejecting that characterization. The episode also examines comments from Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall, who suggested the reporting around Greene has been overblown, and whether this situation is something the organization can fully move past. Finally, Nick and Craig revisit past criticism of the World Baseball Classic from Terry Francona in 2017 and discuss whether those views could influence Reds player participation in future tournaments. A must-listen episode on player perception, injury narratives, organizational trust, and what all of this means for Hunter Greene and the Reds moving forward.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seSmzP8dYpM      OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org
