CRISIS: Cincinnati Reds Pitching WOES Intensify—Brady Singer's Struggles Raise ALARMS

from Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds · host Locked On Podcast Network

Cincinnati Reds’ pitching collapse exposes the team’s playoff hopes—can rising stars bail them out? Jeff Carr spotlights Brady Singer’s alarming struggles and a bullpen reeling from inconsistency, challenging last year’s dominant form. As the rotation limps and Luis Mey is sent down, pressure mounts on Nick Lodolo and Andrew Abbott to lead a turnaround. Are the Reds stuck waiting for internal fixes, or will Nick Krall make a bold move?   Meanwhile, Elly De La Cruz electrifies with a .302 average and elite power, pushing for All-Star honors. Sal Stewart ends his slump with a multi-hit day, while Spencer Steer looks ready for a breakout season. The lineup’s recent surge offers hope as the Reds prepare for a crucial series against the Philadelphia Phillies and face former free agent hopeful Kyle Schwarber. Can the bats carry Cincinnati, or will unreliable pitching sink their NL Central dreams?   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
