The Cincinnati Reds had a good weekend in Milwaukee by beating the Brewers in the series. Jeff and Steve look at the awesome performances by Jose Barrero and Joey Votto and what a good Barrero could mean for the rapid Reds rebuild. The Reds need to stop relying on Hunter Strickland in the ninth, though there is an underlying reason as to why it seems David Bell keeps calling Strickland's number. Also, Hunter Greene went on the IL with shoulder problems which opens the door for Justin Dunn. We may have seen the last of Greene on a mound in 2022.
