I'll just buy the cheapest seats I can find and not buy any food or beer while in the ballpark.

Don’t give up! This is the “buying you flowers to say sorry” step in the abusive relationship cycle  


Which would be followed by what in this case? Deciding that since their young guys are showing up and playing well, they can trade India and a couple other more established guys for prospects to add to the mix in 2027?

Obviously, the next step is hurting us again.

Only way that happens is if Votto returns and they put him at 1st most every game and bat him 3rd come hell or high water.

Stop being so optimistic! Your good vibes are hurting my self-loathing.

I’ve very much enjoyed watching this team. This is not the Moose, Suarez, Winker gang

Well Votto is back…he’s 39, stinks on defense and awful on the bases. If he can muster up great at bats versus righty pitchers I’m good…..if he’s in the 3 hole and at first base every game, Bell should be fired.


Joey will fit in and will do whatever…I assume Bell will baby him and bat him no worse than 5th and he’ll be at 1B even though Steer has made 15 plays this year that Votto couldn’t make.

India, Steer, McLain, De La Cruz, Fraley, Friedl should lose ZERO at bats Benson a few but not many….should be Stephenson, Senzel, Newman, Fairchild

He's batting 6th tonight. India is DH.

Elly uncorks one of his 100 mph throws and Joey has to catch it shin high…..he may retire from the field

Luiz Arraez went 5 for 5 again and is back to hitting .400

Ohtani is once in a lifetime

Acuña is gonna go 30/50

And the Reds are Americas team

The past two Sundays around MLB have been the highest attended Sundays since 2017


MLB is hot and the Reds are part of it

Elly De La Cruz is the most exciting baserunner I’ve ever seen….and he’s got incredible instincts.

He’s made 6 baserunning plays that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone else do….and they all worked.

This is the most fun I have had watching the Reds in 15 years.
