Former pitcher for the Clemson University baseball team, DJ Reader, will throw out the first pitch at the Tampa-Reds game next Monday

Kelce blew it when he did his! But would have been perfect if they were playing Cricket

Wow I would not charge the mound even if that guy threw 4 straight right past my head.
Just say “thank you sir” and run to first base!

Most likely what Robin Ventura should have done when Nolan Ryan hit him

Kind of doubt too many major leaguers would be exactly standing in line to charge the mound with DJ standing out there.. Most would probably say, "Thanks for almost hitting me in the head four times in a row.."
In the immortal words of my old man, "Wait'll you get to be my age!"

He can't be any worse than the RPs the Reds got right now.
Reds would have another 3-4 wins if it wasn't for the crappy bullpen.
Holy moly.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs

Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

I think he's good as gone after the upcoming season if they plan on extending Logan Wilson and keeping the three amigos together.

DJ Reader has a really good arm! That ball had some heat on it!

Agreed.  DJ was probably the most impactful single FA signing the Bengals made in this most recent overhaul.  I would love to see him stay in Cincinnati.

That's a lot of mass moving forward to propel it. Lol

DJ didn't put quite as much heat on it for the real thing:




But he did bring help in case anyone charged the mound:
