  • Charlie is bought and paid for

    Working hard for that Reds.com job. Cheerleader. Spins everything. Garrett Hampson is a joke. The Reds should have never given him at-bats. Then they CUT him. Then the cardinals cut him. Get real.

    Also, stop saying “twenty twenty three/four/five” so much. It’s like you’re trying to be paid by minutes spoken.

    As a lifetime Reds fan, I absolutely love the inside info that comes from Brian and Charlie on this Power Stacks podcast. They have gobs of chemistry, thoughtful analysis and several moments of fun mixed in. Brian quizzing Charlie on traveling to out of town games is great.
