September has begun and we have made it to the final month of the 2024 Regular season, and barring a major surprise, the final month of the Reds season. The Reds had 2-5 week losing 2 of 3 to the Athletics and 3 of 4 to the Brewers, it's time to look to 2025, like we often say, there is always next year right? While we can have some legitimate conversations about the future of the Reds, one conversation needs to be stopped: moving Elly De La Cruz from Shortstop to Center Field. Tim and Ben discuss why the Reds should keep Elly where he is, preview the Astros series, and more!

We had a lot of Viewer Mail questions about our favorite Joey Votto moments, and what better way to has those out than through an old-fashioned draft?? Nate was joined by the hosts of Locked On Reds, Jeff Carr and Steven Offenbaker to make their selections for Favorite On-Field Moment, Favorite Off Field Moment, Best Overall Season, Greatest Single Statistic, Hottest Extended Stretch, and Greatest Injustice for Joey's Career. And because it turns out the 2024 Reds are actually still playing baseball, despite doing so with a bunch of relievers and other dudes you've never heard of, they did spend the first few minutes discussing current events.

They used quotes from the cinematic masterpiece Anchorman to drive their points home! Nate had some particularly strong takes on what to do with Joey Votto and the pitching staff. While Joe used his crystal ball to see if we're going to have more inane sound bites from the higher ups within the organization.  They also, unfortunately, had to discuss General Manager Nick Krall's enthusiasm dampening comments about the team's future.
