The Cincinnati Reds have finally called up Nick Senzel, much to the delight of Chad Dotson and Jason Linden. Before we got excited over that, however, we discussed the continuing great performance of the Reds pitching staff, including NL Pitcher of the Month Luis Castillo.

Sneak preview: there is no way whatsoever that Cincinnati's offense is going to continue to be awful. It's a guarantee!

It's time for the Cincinnati Reds to get serious. That's the theme as Chad Dotson and Jason Linden discussed the end of the 2018 season and what the Reds need to do this winter to prove that they are serious about winning. That means acquiring the right pitchers, hiring the right manager, and showing an impatient fan base that they are willing to go "all-in." Jason also makes a comment at the end of this podcast that ensures he'll never be invited back to participate. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.

The Reds are moving their top prospect, Nick Senzel, to the outfield? Chad Dotson and Jason Linden explore the possibilities with that move. Then they checked in on Joey Votto, and tried to put his career in historical context. After answering a listener question (send your questions in mp3 format to chaddotson AT redlegnation DOT com, and we'll try to answer it on a future podcast), Chad and Jason muse over whether the Reds have lost an entire generation of fans by putting losing teams on the field for 17 of the last 22 seasons, and what that means for the Cincinnati community.

Chad Dotson was joined by Jason Linden again this week for a fun episode of Redleg Nation Radio. We began by discussing current news, answered a few Twitter questions, then asked whether ownership was meddling too much in baseball operations. Short answer: Yes. We were also joined this week by Jeff Fassero, the pitching coach for Cincinnati's Triple-A affiliate in Louisville. His comments on Robert Stephenson were extremely interesting, and confirmed some of the things we had long suspected. You aren't going to want to miss what he had to say.
