Spencer Steer has had such a great rookie season… 35 doubles, 22 home runs, 83 RBI, 15 SB 20.6 K%/10.5 BB% WAR is a bit watered down due to moving around positionally so much, but 3.0 bWAR, 2.0 fWAR in 152 games, 647 PA. Just a consistent force in the middle of the #Reds

With CES, Steer & Benson all likely about to be on the same ML roster, it’d be a good time to remind people that Nick Krall got those 3 guys for; 9 starts of Tyler Mahle Steve Hajjar (28.1 IP in High A, 3.18 ERA, 20K/22 BB) Justin Boyd (.140/.290/.200 in High A) #Reds

Backbreaker. Worst loss of the season. That might just be the end of the 2023 #Reds . Absolutely pathetic

Bittersweet feeling today as always. 162 is like nothing else. You watch a team daily for 6+ months, then it’s gone for 6 months I’ve enjoyed watching the 2023 Cincinnati #Reds so much. It wasn’t always pretty, it was inconsistent, frustrating, but incredibly fun. There’s…

It’s kinda wild to me that the #Reds , a franchise that has had little-to-no success the last 10+ years is 1.5 games out of the playoffs race with less than 20 games left and it feels like most people are checked out. Hopefully they can get hot again & re-ignite this fan base.

An absolute masterclass, tone-setting start from Frankie Montas. 6 innings 4 hits 4 K/0 BB Statement. What a debut. #Reds

Prepared to be yelled at here so here goes nothing: 1.) Elly De La Cruz can, and will play better baseball. Hasn’t been great. Anyone can see that. 2.) Sending him to AAA does absolutely nothing. Not gonna happen. 3.) You’re really going with Santiago Espinal at SS? #Reds

Welcome to Cincinnati, Nick Martinez! #Reds add their swing-man. Martinez has experience starting and relieving the last two seasons. Strong pitch-mix, featuring 5 pitches he throws anywhere from 13-28% of the time. His best pitch being a bugs bunny changeup that is high level.…

This #Reds team has played 16 games in 15 days, 10 of those being on the West-Coast, 13 of those against teams over .500, while dealing with major injuries & COVID outbreaks... They're 9-7... Doesn't seem that crazy, but I can't overstate how impressive that is #ATOBTTR

2-out, 109 mph double, on a break ball to give the #Reds a massive insurance run. Big time player. Don’t you forget it.
