That was a game for the ages tonight!
What's Joey's FBG handle? Because he apparently took this post personallyDFA 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?It's gonna be interesting to see what this club does with Joey Votto when he's healthy.
Expanded playoffs keep more teams in the race longer, so we may not know who the sellers are for another 3-4 weeks. And with the current state of the Reds rotation, who knows if the bats can stay hot enough for that long.What an exciting team. Fan base has been waiting a while for a team like this. Hope they are buyers and make the postseason as there seems to be something special about this team.
Bump.That was a game for the ages tonight!
After several years of fielding garbage rosters, this team Is really really fun to watch, and I think the pitch clock and elimination. Of the shift has made the games much more watchable.I walked away from the Reds, and baseball, a long time ago. I saw a news clip where the Reds were in first place and looked at the roster. Joey Votto was the only name I recognized on the whole team.
I don't think I'll be back.

You’re mussing out. This team is as exciting and as fun as any Reds team I can remember. As fun as the 1990 team for sure!I walked away from the Reds, and baseball, a long time ago.

Any truth to the rumors MLB is considering suspending Nick Castellanos for this?No idea what the reservoir tip on Elly’s bat is about, but pointing to it after the homer was awesome.

All your base are belong to EDLCElly steals 3 bases in one plate appearance.
I was just jokingly referring back to when Castellanos got kicked out or suspended or fined or whatever seemingly every time he showed emotion for the Reds early on the season a couple years ago.Any truth to the rumors MLB is considering suspending Nick Castellanos for this?No idea what the reservoir tip on Elly’s bat is about, but pointing to it after the homer was awesome.
What I read on Twitter during the game is that this is to record bat speed, etc. But Elly took the computer chip out of it before the game, which is why he was allowed to put it back on. What did Castellanos do?
I'm not a Jon India hater, but the more he struggles at the plate, I don't know what they do with the young talent in the infield. (and now the outfield)
That's fair!I'm not a Jon India hater, but the more he struggles at the plate, I don't know what they do with the young talent in the infield. (and now the outfield)
We talking about the guy who's on pace for 26 HR, 130 R, 98 RBI, and 24 steals? As a second basemen?

I think India is the guy most likely to be moved for some kind of pitching. Infield looks like a logjam right now, but moving India and phasing out Votto after this year might right-size things.Next three are huge. If they can't get past the Brewers this week, does that push them one way or the other for being buyers in the trade market?
In the previous six game - two series set with the Brewers, it was hitting that was the biggest problem. I'd hate to see them give up prospects this year for pitching, when they could get Greene and Lodolo back to cure some of what ails them.
The scoreboard sign taunting him about his previous at bat ate a plate full of karma.I think India is the guy most likely to be moved for some kind of pitching.

Probably won’t get what we really want, btu I think that might be the move.
… and I think that ball Elly hit a few minutes ago just landed in Chicago.
1. CardinalsI LOVE beating the Dodgers more than any other Sports Organization that exists.
How many people got to see that CES walk-off on live TV? Five, maybe six?
I saw it. And it was glorious. Earlier in that same game he hit one out that went foul and I swear it would have been close to 500 feet.How many people got to see that CES walk-off on live TV? Five, maybe six?
Just griping that it was not on Bally but only on Apple TV+.How many people got to see that CES walk-off on live TV? Five, maybe six?
What do you mean? I missed the game tonight.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that Reds’ infielder Noelvi Marte has received an 80-game suspension for a performance-enhancing drug violation
The starting pitching is beginning to worry me a little. I don't know how much of the misery is due to guys trying new things, but man, they have not looked sharp.I’m ready for baseball and Phil Castellini hasn’t done anything I am aware of recently to hack me off,
Gonna be leery of the pitching until proven otherwise, but I am excited to see if we can build on last year’s exciting offense.
Let’s go already! Who cares if it will still be 40 degrees for the next month?!?
What logjam
Noelvi Marte suspended
TJ Friedl wrist fracture
Matt McLain may need shoulder surgery
Things were looking bright for the Reds
