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?

In this weeks episode of The Unnamed Reds Podcast, Brian and Doug discuss the confusion that seems to be happening with "the plan", and how it seems to be a constant moving target that often changes overnight. They also dive into a little bit of 2018 Major League Baseball Draft talk.

The Cincinnati Reds announced two shifts this week. The first was that Homer Bailey would find himself pitching out of the bullpen instead of the rotation. The second would be that Jesse Winker will no longer be a part of the regular outfield rotation and is being moved to the bench.

This week Brian and Doug discuss the slump that Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is in during the month of May, and some of the struggles of the starting pitchers when it comes to keeping the baseball in the ballpark.

The Cincinnati Reds acquired Matt Harvey from the New York Mets last week for Devin Mesoraco. And they haven't lost a game since making the trade. We also talk about the hot streak that Scooter Gennett went on last week, and how the Reds should proceed with him moving forward.
