    Nick Krall's Rise Through Reds' Ranks

    Paul and C. Trent focus on recent Reds organizational news as Nick Krall was appointed Cincinnati's VP/GM of baseball operations. What does this move mean for the club (:30)?

    Remembering Joe Morgan, Why Did Dick Williams Step Down & Non-Tender Twist

    Hall of Fame second baseman and Reds legend, Joe Morgan, has passed away at 77-years-old. Paul and C. Trent react to Morgan's passing, the legacy he leaves behind and his contribution to Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine" and their championship runs (:30). Reds president of baseball operations Dick Williams made his position vacant after a decade-plus-long run as a member of the teams' front office. Why did Williams step down, and what factors played into his departure (14:00)? How will his tenure with Cincinnati be remembered? What decisions will be remembered most (22:00)? What's next for this club (25:30)? As unique of a season as 2020 has been, this off-season, including the time when players are non-tendered, might be even weirder (30:00). Plus, the venerable Dusty Baker and other playoff musings (37:15). Follow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjr Follow C. Trent on Twitter: @ctrent Join The Athletic for just $1 a month!

    Recapping Reds-Braves Game 1: Missed Opportunities, Braves Deep Pen & Looking Ahead to Game 2

    Baseball history was made in the first meeting of the Reds-Braves wild-card round. Said benchmarks were achieved in a drawn-out, forgetful fashion as the seventh-seeded Reds conceded a walk-off, the lone score of the game, in the bottom of the 13th inning to fall behind in the series. Paul and C. Trent tackle Cincinnati's missed opportunities, Trevor Bauer's brilliance, the bullpen hanging in through double-digit innings and the pen depth Atlanta bolsters. The guys also react to Joey Votto's postgame comments as well as preview game two. Follow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjr Follow C. Trent on Twitter: @ctrent Hosted on Acast.

    Reds' Round One Preview: The F-ing Nightmares, Braves Blistering Bats & Cincy's X-Factor

    Welcome the wild card preview edition of WARP! There certainly was a chance that wouldn't be typed, or said, for that matter, but here we are. Paul and C. Trent detail Cincinnati's leadup to their first postseason berth in seven years, including their determined sweep over Pittsburgh, gutsy series wins over three postseason contenders and the "fu***** nightmare" mentality that guided them through it all (2:30). The Reds' opening round matchup against Atlanta pits strength against strength: Cincinnati's stellar starting pitching versus the Braves' boomstick bats (6:45). Will one side hold an advantage over the other? Is Trevor Bauer's Cy Young chances contingent on his playoff performance, and has rediscovering his slider been the difference maker for Luis Castillo? The Reds and Braves' playoff track record has fallen short of expectations in recent years (14:45). Who stands out as this year's playoff's x-factor (22:15)? Was this Cincinnati's best-case scenario (29:30)? Plus, Cobb County dabster, Trent, takes the stage (34:00). Follow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjr Follow C.

    We're Down to Six, Seeding Significance, We Need to Apologize & Will Bauer Earn Big Bucks in Cincy with Mo Egger

    Can you hear that? It's Europe playing in the background..."IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWNNNN!" Two, I repeat, two series remain before the postseason begins and, well, as Paul and Mo Egger spectacularly point out, its significance still looms large as the Reds have yet to secure a spot, though they are riding on increased serotonin after winning six of their last seven (1:00). Surfing on a winning-streak with their starting rotation hurling, is there any excuse not to make the playoffs? Sure, earning a postseason berth is top priority, but after that, what playoff seeding would benefit the team the most (14:45)? Look, when we're wrong we're wrong, so, please accept this apology, Michael Lorenzen (21:30). The guys wrap up today's show discussing the Brewers parity (29:45); Bauer's future remains murky (34:30) and a Reds nightmare scenario (42:15).Follow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjrFollow Mo on Twitter: @MoEgger1530 Experience The Athletic's award-winning sports journalism for just $1 a month!

    Playoff Push, Is Bauer Bound for NL Cy Young & Is Pressure Problematic?

    Cincinnati is down to its last 13 games (try to avoid thinking of that number as unlucky), and it's time for one last push. Paul and C. Trent prognosticate whether the Reds can make the playoffs, and explain what efforts Cincy needs to make in order to be on of the NL's top-8 teams (:30). Could David Bell and co. modify Trevor Bauer's pitching schedule ahead of the stretch drive (4:45)? Also, where does the 29-year-old sit among NL Cy Young candidates (8:15)? Is there such a thing as too much pressure? The guys react to Joey Votto and Kyle Farmer's comments about the club's remaining games and the 2020 season as a whole (13:00).Follow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjrFollow C.
