Reds Report with The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans
DOB and EOF are joined by Cincinnati Reds scribe for The Athletic, C. Trent Rosecrans! As you may have guessed, the trio broach playoff baseball, specifically, the wild-card series scrap between the Braves and Reds. What can Atlanta fans expect from Cincinnati's superb rotation (1:00)? How has Luis Castillo improved this season? Is Trevor Bauer the NL Cy Young favorite? Rosecrans also describes the Bauer-Reds dynamic. How has Bauer been able to produce such incredible spin rate on his pitches (11:15)? How has former Braves first-round selection, Lucas Sims, been producing for Cincy after being acquired by the Reds in the deal that netted Atlanta Adam Duvall (15:00)? Team records might prove deceiving as few have labeled NL Central clubs 'world-beaters', but despite tepid regular season performance, four Central squads are in the playoffs (18:00). Rosecrans, who has an MVP vote, gives his two-cents on Freddie Freeman's case for most valuable player (26:15). The 'casters converse about Cincinnati's team leader Mike Moustakas as well as team culture (36:15). Lastly, some travel horror stories!
