The Cincinnati Reds will call up Rhett Lowder to pitch on Friday, as confirmed from multiple sources. What can we expect from the Reds top prospect in Lowder? What led to this decision? Is bringing up Lowder this fast too hasty for the Reds? There is a big pitfall that the Reds need to miss in this. Also, we ask a question of whether the Reds can answer: can David Bell and the coaching staff do anything wrong?

The Cincinnati Reds lineup beat the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Reds had gotten next to nothing from Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Santiago Espinal so far this season but they broke out in this win. Elly De La Cruz added in another homer and another stolen base as he was happy to have some help in the Reds run-scoring effort.

Andrew Abbott didn't have his best stuff and David Bell made a beautiful choice to go to his bullpen early as that decision also was a big factor in the Reds win.

Nick Lodolo is the biggest reason to be optimistic about this Reds rotation.

Let's decipher what was said because we all know a lot of it is intentionally vague and some of it is just matter-of-fact with the offseason affected by COVID. Jeff plays a cut and edited version of Nick Krall's introductory zoom conference to introduce him as the new head of Reds baseball ops (president not in the title). He then tries to glean certain tidbits of information from what was said.
