Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds extend their winning streak to four as Brandon Williamson rises to the occasion with a career-tying 6⅓ shutout innings. Are the Reds’ young arms forming a rotation that could dominate the NL Central race? Hosts Steven Offenbaker and Tim Daniel spotlight Williamson’s electric changeup, the bullpen’s resurgence with Tony Santillan, Emilio Pagán, and Brock Burke, plus the defensive excellence fueling Cincinnati’s early-season surge.

Elly De La Cruz is quietly recapturing superstar form, flashing power, speed, and improved plate discipline. The hosts debate lineup options—should Ke'Bryan Hayes’ elite glove keep him in the lineup despite an anemic bat, or is it time for Sal Stewart, Spencer Steer, and Noelvi Marte to see more reps? The episode also explores Andrew Abbott’s quest to reclaim ace status, the burgeoning Matt McLain, and whether this Reds squad can sustain their timely hitting and pitching dominance on their current road trip.
