Greg Helmstetter, a good bud from Joey and Brady's softball league, joins us on the pod to talk about the Cincinnati Reds, their rich history, and how they're really due for a win these days. We touch on the broadcast legacy of Marty Brennaman and, of course, Skyline Chili. Then the guys dive into 2019's home run explosion and debate if it's good or bad for baseball. We all agree right away Joey Votto is good for baseball.
