Are the Cincinnati Reds Back in the Playoff Race?

Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are showing signs of life and have a chance to get back into playoff contention if they can go 10-3 over their next 13 games against weaker opponents. Elly De La Cruz is having an excellent rookie season, with 5 WAR already, and should be viewed as a potential franchise cornerstone rather than criticized for errors or strikeouts. MLB is considering a rule change that would require starting pitchers to throw at least 6 innings, with some exceptions. Jeff strongly criticizes this proposal as solving nothing and potentially creating more problems. The Reds have been playing better since the All-Star break, with improved offensive and pitching stats across the team. The Reds are starting a series against the Royals, which presents an opportunity to gain ground in the playoff race. Dive into this analysis now to understand the Cincinnati Reds' playoff chances and the impact of Elly De La Cruz's performance. Don't miss out on the discussion about the proposed MLB rule change – watch or listen now!
