Chase Burns is BETTER Than his ERA | Cincinnati Reds have ANOTHER Ace in the Making

Play Episode

Episode Notes

The Cincinnati Reds' Chase Burns impresses despite a misleading 6.26 ERA. His amazing 14.8 strikeouts per nine innings and team-best 3.02 FIP reveal his true potential. Jeff Carr and Steve Offenbaker analyze Burns' performance, potential trade target Marcell Ozuna, and recent hitting trends for Matt McLain, Tyler Stephenson, and TJ Friedl. The hosts question Ozuna's fit with the team, highlighting concerns about his declining stats and chemistry. McLain's .316/.381/.421 slash line over the last 14 days shows promising improvement, while Stephenson leads the team in recent home runs. Friedl's consistent .371 on-base percentage and 110 OPS+ underscore his value atop the lineup. Uncover the hidden strengths and potential trade moves shaping the Cincinnati Reds' season – listen now for expert insights!
