Amazing news!!
Jake Fraley’s daughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2023, is in remission!
#Reds
Country continues to send thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Jake.
Joey Votto is a Hall of Famer. Argue with a wall.
Led MLB in OBP 7 different times
64.4 career WAR
2,135 hits
356 HR
459 doubles
Top 30 all time in OBP
Top 40 all time in OPS
103 players have reached base 3500 times in their career, Votto is 102/103 in plate appearances…
Elly De La Cruz…
-Been on base in every game this season
-Has a 1.105 OPS (8th in MLB)
-Hasn’t struck out in 16 straight PA
-6 stolen bases (2nd in MLB)
-9 of his 16 hits have gone for extra bases
#Reds
The Cincinnati
#Reds
are calling up top prospect, Noelvi Marte.
The 21 year old was the main piece in the Luis Castillo deal just over a year ago and now will debut with the Reds.
.279/.359/.456 between AA and AAA this season with 35 XBH.
There is nobody more deserving of team and individual success than Joey Votto.
His commitment to his franchise & city cannot be overstated.
We love you, JDV.
#Reds
Lot of Joe Burrow slander on the TL today, reminder this guy had fully reconstructive knee surgery little over a year ago and played his first full season behind a bottom 5 OL.
Ranks among NFL QB including postseason;
-PFF grade (1st)
-Comp % (1st)
-Adj Comp % (1st)
-YPA (1st)
#Reds
just traded a proven, top of the rotation arm for any team in MLB, for an 18 year old wildcard that isn’t even a teams top 5 prospects. 1 for 1.
You cannot convince me this is a good deal.
🚨 PLAN FOR TOMORROW! 🚨

The
#Reds
fell to 8 games under .500 with a 2-1 loss to STL on May 25th, since then, they have gone 37-20, the 2nd best record in MLB.
ATL - 36-17
CIN - 37-20
TOR - 33-22
PHI - 33-22
SFG - 33-23
MIA - 32-23
They’ve been 3 games better than anyone outside of Atlanta. Wild.
Matt McLain is on a 162 game pace of 6.8 fWAR, 48 doubles, 25 HR, 22 SB, all while being a great defender at shortstop & 2nd base (+3 OAA).
There’s not words out there to explain his impact on the Cincinnati
#Reds
, he’s been their best player since day 1.
I know the Matt McLain regression is inevitable, but my word, what he’s done in 30 career games is nothing short of incredible.
.328/.380/.519
138 wRC+
1.3 fWAR
14 multi-hit games
25 games with a hit
3rd in MLB in hits since he was recalled. Stud.
#Reds
Andrew Abbott MLB ranks since his debut :
IP - 61.2 (1st)
Quality Starts - 8 (T-1st)
ERA - 1.90 (2nd)
BAA - .183 (5th)
WHIP - 0.96 (6th)
Strikeouts - 66 (6th)
Seasoned vet from the word go. Where would the
#Reds
be without Abbott?
This team is due to get back from the IL;
Nick Lodolo
Joey Votto
Derek Law
Casey Legumina
Still to debut;
Elly De La Cruz
Christian Encarnacion-Strand
Andrew Abbott
Here they come… 📈📈
#Reds
I’m heartbroken man. I just want the
#Reds
to be good.
Jesse Winker is a top 5 hitter in baseball vs RHP. Eugenio Suarez is on an extremely affordable deal and a top 15 3B in the game.
I will not be okay with my favorite team trying to lose, ever.
Joe Burrow got Riley Reiff, Chidobe Awuize, DJ Reader, Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton & more to sign deals here without any real success in the league.
People are going to want to come play in Cincinnati and be apart of this team going forward with how they’re trending.
#Bengals
You may think it’s corny, or copying Philly, but I would love nothing more for this to happen for Elly De La Cruz tonight.
Kid brings it everyday, never stops smiling, never stops playing hard, how cool would it be for him to feel the city is still behind him?
#Reds
#PackGABP
Since the
#Reds
started 7-15, they have the 2nd best record in MLB at 39-24 (.619 win%).
They’ve played at a 100 win pace for 2.5 months of baseball.
Just a damn good baseball team.

organizational debut…

103.4 MPH, 380 ft oppo HR
98.1 MPH, 358 ft oppo HR
78.8 MPH double
I like that, a lot.
As things currently sit, since he was recalled, Matt McLain leads MLB in hits with 40.
He is tied with Freddie Freeman & one more than Luis Arraez (39).
Just insane.
#Reds
Told myself I wasn’t going to get my hopes up for Tejay Antone given how difficult it is to come back from two TJs, but…
He’s back and he’s filthy.. 🪝
#Reds
Over his last 19 games, Elly De La Cruz has just a 23.7% K rate while sporting an insane 21.1% BB rate.
Slashing .322/.474/.712, with a 215 wRC+ and tied for the league lead in fWAR with Ohtani at 1.6.
I’m not going to say I’m shocked, because I watched the guy dominate every…
No McLain
No Friedl
No Marte
No Gibaut
No Moll
No Williamson
Montas hurt now.
Struggles offensively from just about everyone except Elly and Steer (he’s even struggled lately).
Just finding ways to win baseball games.
#Reds
Essentially trading Tyler Mahle, Justin Boyd & Steve Hajjar for Spencer Steer, Will Benson & Christian Encarnacion-Strand changed this rebuild completely.
Absolute masterclass from Nick Krall and should be praised 10 times over for both.
#Reds
Not to alarm anyone but Christian Encarnacion-Strand was in the original Louisville lineup and he was a a late scratch and no longer in the lineup…. 👀
#Reds
Alexis Diaz has a 2.19 ERA in 61.2 IP. Is 35 out of 37 in save chances, and has 9 wins.
It’s absolutely incredible how good he’s been in his first two big league seasons.
#Reds
Wow, big time.
Braves game cancelled today so
#Reds
miss Strider this weekend…
They’ll get Smith-Shawver (2 career starts), Jared Shuster (8 career starts), and Charlie Morton.
#Reds
#Reds
were in 4th place, sitting at 27-33 when they called up Elly De La Cruz on 6/6…
They’ve gone 11-2 since then and just took sole possession of 1st place on June 19th.
Just an absolutely incredible effort from all 26 dudes.
Keep going, this is so fun.
Elly De La Cruz through 5 ST games :
15 PA
.417/.533/.750
2 XBH
3 BB/5 K
This is mid-swing change and seeing big league arms for the first time since the adjustment.
#Reds
#Reds
bullpen in the 3-game sweep of the Angels…
Friday - 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 3 K/1 BB
Saturday - 4 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 K/0 BB
Sunday - 8.1 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 6 K/4 BB
15 IP, 8 H, 0 ER, 12 K/5 BB
High level bullpen. Lot of good arms down there.
Spencer Steer is literally like a mercenary for David Bell lol.
Guy hits wherever, plays wherever and just flat gets the job done each and every day.
Every good team has one of those guys and Steer adapting that role for the
#Reds
is awesome to see.
Elly started using a new bat today and went 3-5 with 2 HR and an RBI-single.
Looks longer than the other one he used.
May be nothing, may be something... Baseball players are weird.
#Reds
The Cincinnati
#Reds
have been eliminated from postseason contention after game 161.
Hell of a fight and incredible experience for one of the youngest teams in baseball. Just too many inconsistencies down the stretch.
Super excited to see this team progress.
Joe Burrow led an offense to the Super Bowl with his offensive line consisting of 4 of 5 guys who literally couldn’t find a job in the NFL the following season.
Noelvi Marte is having a crazy good September. (48 PA)
.409/.458/.523
167 wRC+
10.4 K% / 6.3 BB%
92.1 average exit velo
I knew he was going to be good, but doing this in a playoff push at 21 is crazy!
#Reds
DBacks lose!
The miracles that the
#Reds
needed coming into today, in order to get in the postseason is starting to become a tiny bit clearer.
Reds : 2-0
DBacks : 0-2
That’s what it takes…
#Reds
acquired Luis Castillo on January 19, 2017 for Dan Straily.
What a fun career it’s been in Cincinnati for Castillo. Incredibly consistent, filthy stuff and a leader in times of struggle.
Today is likely Castillos last start in a Reds uniform, enjoy it. He’s special.
I don’t think enough people are talking about Jake Fraley.
.269/.359/.482
121 wRC+
14 HR
58 RBI
16 SB
17.2% K / 11.0% BB
He’s likely going to be a 20/20 guy with 2.5+ fWAR. That’s incredibly valuable. What a player.
Not trying to be dramatic but that's the win of the season.
Absolutely stunning win given the circumstances surround this team.
Guys just keep stepping up. Damn proud of this team and proud to be a
#Reds
fan.
Firing David Bell isn’t going to change anything.
A 3-20 team isn’t magically going to become good by firing the manager, or the hitting coach.
Thank you for reading.
#Reds
Spencer Steer is legitimately such a team guy…
He’s about to play his 2nd position that he has little to no experience at, in order to make the team better.
That’s big time stuff.
#Reds
Hunter Greene signed an extremely affordable 6 year/$53 million dollar deal with the
#Reds
through his arbitration years and a year after.
Please stop talking about his contract like they gave him a $300 million dollars. Good lord.
#Reds
are 8-2 since Elly De La Cruz was recalled.
The best part of that stretch is that nobody is just playing outrageously over their head. Just good, hard nosed, winning baseball.
Steer struggling, Friedl struggling, India & EDLC not swinging it great.
Just finding a way.
#Reds
somehow went 3-3 in a stretch against the 53-27 Braves and the 48-31 Orioles in games started by Luke Weaver (2), Graham Ashcraft (1), Levi Stoudt (1), Brandon Williamson (1) & Andrew Abbott (1).
And I could argue it could’ve been better. Just wild.
Since
@jz2016cubs
told everyone to “get real” and Elly was the most overrated player in baseball, Elly has gone: (28 PA)
.417/.500/1.000
278 wRC+
6 XBH
11 runs scored
0.7 fWAR
17.9 K% / 10.7 BB%
Not sure a “take” aged worse, quicker than that one.
1B - Christian Encarnacion-Strand
2B - Matt McLain
SS - Elly De La Cruz
3B - Noelvi Marte
Two 21 year olds, a 23 year old & a newly 24 year old.
The future is now.
#ATOBTTR
#Reds
The
#Reds
are 1-15 since Phil spoke words in public.
1-15. That is so unbelievably hard to do in baseball. The freakin’ DBacks took 2/3 from the Dodgers this week. 1-15.
Matt McLain - 3 hits. Walkoff single
Elly De La Cruz - On base 3 times
Spencer Steer - On base 4 times
Will Benson - Big hit off the bench
T.J Hopkins - Scored GW run
Eduardo Salazar - Scoreless IP. Win
All rookies. All figure to be part of the future. 9-8,
#Reds
win. Incredible
Elly De La Cruz went 6 for 37 with 1 HR against MIL this season.
.162/.184/.243 with 13 K/1 BB.
vs everyone else he is;
46 for 151 with 6 HR, 10 2B, 3 3B
.304/.353/.570
Not sure what the Brewers do so differently against the
#Reds
that nobody else can seem to figure out.
The
#Reds
have to go a minimum of 6-2 to even have a chance, now. What a shit loss after your young stud turned in the performance of his career.
I’m sick.
We’re about to have a lineup featuring Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, Jonathan India, Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl, Jake Fraley & Tyler Stephenson.
With Christian Encarnacion-Strand on the way… Holy future. 📈
#Reds
I’d rather not trade Luis Castillo. I don’t think any trade they make for him, helps their future any more than extending Castillo and him leading the rotation for the next 4-6 years.
#Reds
Man. Lot of people jumped shipped awfully quick after losing 2, 1-run games to the best team in baseball and a weird, rain game against the 2nd best team in AL.
This team will be fine. Take a deep breathe.
#Reds
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
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.
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
Elly De La Cruz first 9 games;
.235/.350/.412
104 wRC+
37.5 K%/15.0 BB%
3 XBH
Elly De La Cruz first 9 AAA games;
.195/.233/.415

He will be just fine.
#Reds
Nothing quite says overrated like:
20 HR, 25 double, 13 triple
58 stolen bases
111 runs scored
2.7 fWAR
162 game pace over his first 103 (!!!) career games at ages 21-22 years old.
While also having a 46.5% hard hit rate and 91.3 avg ev..
1.1k likes on this is insane lmao.
