The Cincinnati Reds have announced their 26-man selection for the first round of the play-offs. It is worth mentioning that with each round a team can change their PlayOFF selection. This is what it will look like against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the National League Wild Card Series.

Cincinnati’s 26-Gamn selection for the 3-game series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers is the 28-man schedule with which they ended the season, but without Brady Singer and Zach Maxwell.
Singer who does not make the grid is not entirely surprising. He started the game on Sunday in Milwaukee against the Brewers. It was a possibility that he could have throw in relief during the series, but that could have made things harder for Cincinnati if they went to the next round of the play -offs and what they could have done with their rotation.
Zach Maxwell does not make the schedule both surprising or not surprising. The triple numeral Fastball can certainly play. That also applies to the breaking ball. But his inconsistency with the Strakezone can be a real problem. But it also seemed that there was not much trust in him from the coaching staff. The last time he threw was on September 16 when he threw a perfect inning against St. Louis. He did not throw in one of the last 11 games in which Cincinnati played.
The Reds will be on the field in Dodger Stadium tonight. The first pitch is planned at 9:08 pm et. If you are planning to view the game, you must tailor to ESPN for the broadcast. If you are more of a radio listener, set that dial to 700 WLW to hear the game.
