The Cincinnati Reds are having a season to forget in the win-loss column but have an opportunity to get lots of different young players some playing time. Jeff and Steve look at why that's not happening enough and why it needs to happen more as the Reds team of mostly veteran players got blown out by the St Louis Cardinals. Chuck Robinson hit his first career home run and has been a bright spot for the Reds in the past week. Is Robinson playing himself into a backup catcher role with the Reds? Also, why it looks the Reds have already made a decision on Jose Barrero and we're not totally sure we disagree.
