The Cincinnati Reds have lost more games than they've won and bad fielding is a huge culprit. Jeff and Steve try to pinpoint the importance of fielding in building a championship team and why it seems all World Series contenders have pretty decent fielding. They also look at some keys to a successful series with the Los Angeles Dodgers and why it doesn't include the Reds winning. Hunter Greene allowing no home runs would be a huge success. Also, players who are expected to be on the trade block should really perform well against a marquee team like this year's Dodgers. How will Luis Castillo pitch? How will Brandon Drury and Tommy Pham play? Also, why the dead ball is killing games.
