The Unnamed Reds Podcast dougdirt24@gmail.com (dougdirt24@gmail.com)

Let's talk about some of the things that are being said about the new promotions of Shawn Pender and Eric Lee to roles at the top of the Player Development chain within the Cincinnati Reds organization, and the perceptions that I saw a whole lot of yesterday when the moves were announced.

It's been a while since we've recorded an episode, and it's going to be a while until you hear another one. But we are going out with some good talk about the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds announced that Homer Bailey will return to the rotation when his rehab assignment was up. Well, that time is upon us and the right hander will return on Tuesday. What does that mean for the team? For the other players?

In this weeks episode we discuss the run that Billy Hamilton has been on, what the team should do with the trade deadline approaching, and particularly how they should approach the bullpen at the deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds have won 12 of their last 15 games, and 9 of their last 10. Things are going very well, but not everything is perfect for the organization right now, either. Doug and Brian discuss some of the good, and some of the bad things that are going on with the Reds right now.

The Cincinnati Reds have two rather big questions that need answering this summer. First, what do they do with second baseman Scooter Gennett? And second, what do they do with Homer Bailey?
