Nate was joined this week by Steven Offenbaker from Locked On Reds to discuss the string of injuries and misfortune hitting our beloved Cincinnati Reds over the last several days. They dove into how important Matt McLain is to this team, the lack of CF depth, and how the starting rotation and bullpen are going to need to carry this squad if they hope to make the playoffs. And yes, folks, there IS reason to be optimistic. We just had to squint a little harder to see it.
