REDS POSTCAST: Cincinnati Reds THROW Away Lead—Elly De La Cruz Homers But Brewers DOMINATE Late
from Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds · host Locked On Podcast Network
Cincinnati Reds collapse again as the Milwaukee Brewers stage a late-game comeback. Can Terry Francona’s squad ever overcome their Brewers curse? Tim Daniel spotlights the Reds’ ongoing struggles, from Nick Lodolo’s short outing and bullpen woes to frustrating decisions like late-game bunting that cost key runs. Elly De La Cruz’s leadoff bomb wasn’t enough to offset missed opportunities and defensive lapses, while Dane Myers’ spectacular web gem may have come at a painful price. Key discussions focus on TJ Friedl’s ongoing slump and future with the team, the urgent need to end the bunting experiment, and how the bullpen continues to give games away in critical moments. With trade rumors swirling and fans calling for changes, the path forward looks uncertain. Can the Reds rewrite the narrative against the Brewers, or is it time to look to the future and start selling?
