The Cincinnati #Reds signed Elly De La Cruz for $65,000 back in 2018 and selected Alexis Diaz as a 2015 12th round pick out of a Puerto Rico high school, signing him for $130,000. Those are the kinds of moves that ultimate decide the fates of franchises, not $100m+ veterans.

Regarding Nick Senzel and Kevin Newman, one of them has mostly been used as a platoon OF, with minimal 3b in recent weeks. The SS/2b had been used at 1b/3b/DH in recent weeks. Whatever the roster move(s), it’s clear CES would absorb Newman’s role. #Reds

I think there should be an award made for the most nonsensical Elly De La Cruz player comparison. After years of seeing star Joey Votto underrated by the #Reds own fanbase (shoutout to the Brennamans!), it seems like we now have a player that outsiders are intent to write off.

Jake Fraley, Justin Dunn, Brandon Williamson, and Connor Phillips are all going to play for the #Reds , in MLB, for multiple years. Three of them are inexpensive controllable starting pitchers. The players aren’t to blame for the unpopularity of the trade that brought them here.

Mike Moustakas, 31, hit 38 HR in 2017 and 35 in 2019. Only once in his career has he struck out over 103 times in a season, only twice 99 times or more. Not a big average guy. Not a big OBP guy. But a big power bat who’s hard to strike out. #Reds

I dunno, Elly De La Cruz continues to be a cheat code. They told him to be more patient and draw more walks and strike out less, and now he has 10 BBs in his last ~24 plate appearances, with two strikeouts. He had 2 BB's in his first 15 G, 72 PA, with 24 K's.

I'm really excited about the future of the #Reds bullpen: Alexis Diaz, 26 Lucas Sims, 29 Ian Gibaut, 29 LHP Reiver Sanmartin, 27 Casey Legumina, 26 Tony Santillan, 26 Tejay Antone, 29 Now in AAA: Jake Wong, 26 Eduardo Salazar, 25 Pedro Garcia, 28 Plenty of other names, SPs.

Alexis Diaz is automatic. Another 5 game winning streak for the #Reds heading into the off day, before a big series against the 39-29 Astros. Wasn’t always pretty, but a sweep is a sweep. Elly was 0 for whatever in the series, because he doesn’t need to carry this rolling team.

Does #Reds adding CF Harrison Bader, RF/DH Hunter Renfroe, and LHRP Sam Moll for Joe Boyle and cash constitute winning the midseason moves??? Just asking.

Last two seasons… Nick Castellanos: 1118 PA, 35 HR, 145 RBI, 5.1 BB%, 25.2 K%, .738 OPS, 104 OPS+, 101 wRC+. Hunter Renfroe: 1026 PA, 48 HR, 128 RBI, 7.6 BB%, 22.8 K%, .773 OPS, 110 OPS+, 111 wRC+. One signed a 5 year, $100m contract. The other was claimed off waivers. 🤯🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I think this #Reds team is a lot better with Senzel, Lorenzen, Sims, and Antone back. I’m also interested in seeing what healthy Jeff Hoffman can do out of bullpen. I want two solid relievers via trade, a shortstop, and perhaps another right handed bench bat. Bell for MOY.

5.2 IP with 6 H and 3 ERs isn’t going to win Ben Lively any awards, but it was a pretty solid outing against a good team. Only 66 pitches. Opener mostly worked. #Reds

The #Reds have made several significant trades in the past year. Some popular. Some unpopular. But most only look better today than they did before. A year later most of the guys they acquired only look more valuable, while most they traded away seem less valuable.

I want a team that wins every year for a decade, not once, followed by 9 losing seasons. I’m a little surprised that that is a controversial statement, but apparently it is. Apparently to many one year of success outweighs 9 years of failure. Okay, I just don’t agree.

That was one of the best pitched #Reds games of the year. Especially when you consider the quality of opposing hitters. Lights out, goodnight, see you later. Reds could easily have lost, blown it, but instead they prevailed.

To me, the contrast here is clear, from a prior generation (family?) of broadcasters - guy excited and promoting young talent, rather than demeaning and ignoring it. Guy already doing his homework on future players, rather than learning of their existence when they debut.

McLain has homered. Again. He's got 11. One of the most thrilling assemblies of lineup talent in MiLB. EDLC, MM, CES. Batting 2, 3, 4 almost every day. If there were a time to regularly watch what's happening in Louisville, we're living in it right now.

You’re welcome. I wore my jersey, got Currito for dinner, parked the same place, my winning streak (post Overton) has increased to 7 in a row. I take full credit for the team’s success. Thank you. When #Reds need me again I’ll be back.
