How 'bout them Reds! (1 Viewer)

[On The Rocks]

Also…I’m no a “get off my lawn” kinda guy, but this Viking thing isn’t a good look for a team that hasn’t won anything.
I’m all for having fun and keeping things loose in the clubhouse but not a fan of that celebration.

Is there a single bat in the Reds lineup that opposing teams worry about?

Stephenson? Maybe?

india is a good player if he stays on the field. not sure i worry about him, but he has a pro bat.

I agree! But I guess I was more referring to power. (even though India homered), he’s not a guy I think of that leaves opponents shaking.

Meh, let the kids have fun.

Vosler!

With tonight's win, the Reds have matched last year April win total of 3.

Vosler!

Not a bad grab to end the game. The exit velocity off Mastrobuoni's bat was 100 MPH.

Looked like it might have curved foul, but it was a great play for a guy that came off the bench!

I’m curious what it does to a guy like Ladolo when he pitches a gem like that today and the pen loses the game. I wouldn’t want to hear his “I’m a good teammate” answer to the press.
I want to know what he says or thinks when he gets home by himself.

 

[On The Rocks]

I don't know anything about player development, but is there any expectation that there is a player or two in the bull pen that is expected to get better with game experience as the season goes on?

 

[shuke]

Neat bullpen.

Couple of walk offs in a single series. Good times!

 

[On The Rocks]

Nice to see fans at the park tonight!

 

[On The Rocks]

Anyone think we'll be seeing Matt McLain or Christian Encarnacion-Strand in Cincy for any extended play this season?
Or any play at all for that matter?

 

[trogg78]

If I was to guess it would be after the all-star break unless there was an injury. Same with Elly. He has been crushing the ball.

 

[shuke]

No need to rush these guys. We're not going anywhere this year.

 

[On The Rocks]

A month ago, the biggest question mark was the bull pen, now their relievers are being used to "group pitch" the entire game and they have two starters.
Not sure they even had 5 wins by this time last year, and this year, I wasn't sure it would be much different.
Pleasantly surprised. Senzel, Fridel, Fraley have been fun to watch! And now McClain is on his way up. This is a weird season.

 

[shuke]

I feel like Michael Corleone when I see the top half of this rotation.

"Every time I'm almost out on this team, they pull me back in!"
Between Greene, Lodolo, and Ashcraft, I think Lodolo has me the most excited. But I love them all.

Took 80+ wins at +1100

Need to go 62-59 from here on out.

 

[Angry Beavers]

This is a fun team with a lot of young talent - a little jealous watching from afar as CLE could not score runs or get hits against a good HS pitcher right now.........

59-54

When the season started, I thought they were SP stong'ish, and bat weak, but when CES and Cruz come up it should be fun. Senzel, Fridel, McClain, Fraley have been nice surprises.
Although, SP is not as stong'ish as I had hoped, the middle relievers seem to have leveled out a little. Except Gibault, gives me agita.

 

[trogg78]

It's almost June and they're only 4 games back and they have 4 games coming up against the Brewers this weekend. They are doing much better than I expected.

Tuesday home games they have the 3-2-1 deal. $3 beers, $2 hot dogs, $1 Ice cream. I'm going to try and start going to more games.

 

[trogg78]

Happy Elly de La Cruz day!

 

[On The Rocks]

That was a fun win!!!

 

[shuke]

What a game!

 

[On The Rocks]

It's gonna be interesting to see what this club does with Joey Votto when he's healthy.

 

[bcat01]

Elly with a HR to last row in right field.

 

[On The Rocks]

I hate the Dodgers more than any other sports franchise!
These guys are spoiling me!
I love it!!

Went to the game tonight. That homer by Elly was one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

He runs like he’s on wheels with wings.

Fastest time from home to third in the majors this year!

DFA him or trade him for a pack of big league chew ( but he has a full no trade clause) if they are smart......... honestly, what does he have left?

I would love to see him finish his career with the Reds but I have no problem if they move him as long as they can work out a deal with a contender and give him a chance at minimum of a playoff appearance if not a ring.

IDK if we know what he has left until he's healthy. But if they were to move him, it would be nice for him if Toronto was contending.

 

[On The Rocks]

Wow! What a wild last half inning with Karcher!
God bless Casali!

Brantley: “I need a drink”

Ricky Karcher: “Holy Sh!t”
Jim Day: That’s ok. We’re only on live tv.

 

[shuke]

Wow. What an inning. The Reds official account even tweeted "don't know what just happened, but... #ATOBTTR"

 

[urbanhack]

Can I be fan? The white sox are no longer fun.

 

[On The Rocks]

Come on now.
Sweep the Astros.
How fun is this team to watch.
If they can stay healthy and find a viable starting pitcher without giving up any of the young studs….look out!

 

[Rustoleum]

I go backpacking for a few days and suddenly the Reds can’t lose.

Still hate this ownership group, but the scrappiness of this team is fun to watch.

 

[bcat01]

Joseph Daniel Votto!!!

Joseph Daniel Votto!!!

Still bangs!

I had to go to bed when the Brewers were in the 8th. I get up early!!

HFS Elly and Joey!!!

 

[Rustoleum]

If he had pulled off that delayed steal of home after hitting for the cycle… holy cow.

 

[shuke]

Wow this is fun!
