he Reds return from the All-Star Break leads to the most disappointing series of the season getting swept by the Washington National in our Nation's Capital.

Do they pack in and get ready for 2025? Tim and Ben discuss all these possibilities this week on Late Night Reds!

The on-field play has been pretty brutal of late, so the gang tried their best to have some fun amidst the gloom. Nate and Chad were joined by Joel Luckhaupt, statistician for the Reds TV broadcast as well as Seth Shaner of the Redleg Roundtable Podcast to give optimism the old college try - We're not sure they succeeded. After getting some things off their chest and early Viewer Mail questions the gang did inject some life into the show by having a good old fashioned draft (sponsored by SeatGeek)! With the MLB draft coming up they drafted their favorite Reds draft picks over the years. Let us know who won in the comments!

The Reds Had Saturday's game won and blew it then didn't look competitive at all on Sunday vs the visiting Boston Red Sox. It is yet another frustrating series for the team after a nice start to June. After Sunday's loss, the Reds now sit at 36-41 and last in the NL Central. This has us wondering, why this team continues to go so up and down, and is it too late to believe this team can turn it around with 3 full months of games left? Tim and Ben try to discuss these topics as well as the struggles of Will Benson, Elly, and Jeimer Candelario doing their part to keep the Reds offense going, and the return of Noelvi Marte You are invited to join our ever-growing family of Cincinnati sports fans (and support the podcast) on Patreon!

Nate was joined this week by Anthony DiNardo host of Pittsburgh Pirates podcast North Shore 9.

Once again, the Reds lose a series to the Brewers for the 8th consecutive set. On Sunday the Reds had a 3-0 lead over their NL Central Rivals and still managed to blow the lead with a 5-4 deficit.

Tim and Ben will discuss that as well as the upcoming series vs the Pirates, and we remember Ken Griffey Jr's 500th Home Run which he hit on Father's Day 2004.
