How long until the Reds get rid of him and Hunter Greene?

I met Conner Overton’s uncle last night at the hotel bar I was staying at in Virginia.

LOL!

So De La Cruz scores from first on a ball in the gap he had to freeze on and 3rd base coach held him (or tried to)…..but his most impressive showing of speed (today) was he stole 2nd but replay showed the pitcher going to home with the pitch and De La Cruz does a hop up instead of a push, pivot and go…then as he lands he jets off….the ball was already to the catcher lol. Technically an awful awful jump and he made it easily.

Elly De La Cruz is must watch baseball

Speed: Billy Hamilton…his speed is messing with the timing of baseball

Power: Wow.

Hitting: switch hitter, already adjusting to the overload of off speed stuff

Arm: yeah lol 100+ mph

An Eric Davis, Billy Hamilton, Usain Bolt, Randy Moss

DLC is 8 for 11 when he makes contact

HR, 3B, 2B, line drive single and 3 infield hits

I mean seriously….he scores on stuff maybe young Billy Hamilton scores on.

Can’t take your eyes off him 

You can’t score on this…

Reds call up a AAA pitcher with an ERA nearly 10 and he’s the wildest fastball thrower I’ve ever seen….INSANE. Nearly killed a guy trying to sacrifice bunt….but could throw his 88 mph slider near the plate and somehow got the extra inning save. I’ve never seen anything similar.

Was the Reds' pen tired? Because I saw that dude's stats when he came in and was wondering how a guy with numbers like that even got called up, let alone got called on to pitch a high-leverage situation like that. Or why Farmer was going two innings, for that matter. Worked out for them, but it definitely seemed to be a weird decision.

Diaz definitely could’ve pitched but GM’s won’t allow such things in June.

The dudes fastball was unusable. No one knew where it was going. Worst control of a fastball I’ve ever seen, by a lot. Sorry Mitch Williams and even playoff Rick Ankiel.

Ironman have you noticed the goof right behind home plate in the Sam Hubbard (#94 Bengals) jersey tonight. He was in the same seat last night, also wearing that jersey.

Just meant I asked if you (the only person I knew was watching the game) noticed him and turns out you went to high school with him. Regardless, I’ve enjoyed his energy. Wonder if he’ll be there tomorrow, wearing the Hubbard jersey, and they’ll win 5-4. 

Typically after the NBA finals end I go on a sports hiatus til the first game of college football. But I’ll keep watching the Reds for the time being.

No….he went to high school with Sam Hubbard

Reds played their bottom 2 guys on the roster and 2 other subs….those guys made 4 errors and Reds still found a way to win.
