2021 Reds Thread

Joey Votto of the @Reds is the oldest player in NL history to have back-to-back multi-homer games, and also the oldest in NL history to hit 7+ HR in a 5-game span.

Joey's been having a really good bounce-back year. He'd been looking a bit washed up over the last couple years, so it's nice to see him being productive again.

Nice to see him standing up, being aggressive and powerful 

VOTTO STILL BANGS!!!

Joey is toasty 

Votto might have 30 HRs by next week. Good lord.

Another great TEAM win

Votto has to be player of the week….Winker maybe his biggest competitor and Kyle Farmer a candidate for player of the month

.394/.452/738

Top of the 5th and Votto hit her with the “What you about to do after this?”

He hit another one. Holy shit. 

He’s going to carry the Reds into the post season and win himself another MVP in the process. 

That’s my insanely bold prediction.

He’s not carrying though….he’s hitting the best by a bit but man India and Winker are killing it too. Farmer and Stephenson have been great. 2 new relievers look great…

Castellanos back soon hopefully

Whatever, let me dream. 

What’s the MLB record for consecutive games with a HR? Seems like 8 or 9 would be the number.

8

Dale Long, Don Mattingly, Ken Griffey Jr….maybe 1 other……I think 4 guys at 7 including Kevin Mench lol

Screw you David bell….screw you!

Dumbass

Horse shit managing, completely indefensible dumbass game costing move.

What did he do?

I saw Votto missed tying the record by inches in the 8th.

2 outs in the 9th inning….4-3 lead and Hembree pitching (8 saves in July….most by any Reds pitcher since Aroldis Chapman)….initially he didn’t look great but battled and struck out 2 straight batters and lefty Dominic Smith coming to the plate….but Smith hits lefties way better than righties….Hembree who looks the part is a righty and settled into this game. Out if nowhere he come David Bell from his nap and brings in a lefty….a sucky lefty in Sean Doolittle. Doolittle give up a hit and game is tied.

He replaced one of our top relievers that k’s two straight batters with one of our bottom relievers even though the analytics he loves tremendously said to use a righty vs Smith….with 2 outs in the 9th

The smartest man in the room was the dumbest person in the stadium.

Wining streak over and momentum halted fir zero reason.

This is cool:

I'm glad the Reds didn't trade away Winker as a prospect.
