The Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets thanks to their bullpen. Yes, this is not a drill. Jeff and Steve look at the dominant performances, if only for a night, of Joel Kuhnel, Ross Detwiler, Jeff Hoffman, and Hunter Strickland. Not to be outdone, Nick Lodolo was back and dealing for the Reds, and despite being on a strict pitch count kept up with Max Scherzer. There are a few guys coming back from injury, like Tyler Naquin, that the Reds made interesting roster moves to make room for. Also, Tyler Stephenson is close to returning, but the guys wonder if he should've been back already. With trade rumors ramping up, the guys look at their ideal landing spots for Brandon Drury, Luis Castillo, and Tyler Mahle. There's also a rumor about Luis Castillo that the guys hate and hope doesn't become true.
