The Cincinnati Reds obliterated the Arizona Diamondbacks thanks to a power surge from the bats and great pitching from Graham Ashcraft. Jeff and Steve look at the players who are going off, including Brandon Drury and Matt Reynolds, and why the Reds have tough decisions ahead with the returns of Jonathan India, Donovan Solano, Jose Barrero, and Max Schrock looming. Ashcraft has pitched magnificently in his first four major league starts and should have solidified his Reds starting rotation spot, even with the impending return of Nick Lodolo. How the Reds handle these decisions will go a long way into grading the job of Nick Krall. Also, the bullpen has been really rough all season long and the guys try to figure out where to go from here with it.
