EDLC ends his homer drought!!!

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Leadoff double and he never moves off 2nd. Gross.

2 innings in a row, get 2 men on with no outs, and can’t advance one runner, pathetic. If they lose this game, you can blame it on that.

That defensive addition at 3rd is already paying dividends.

Best defensive player alive.  Or something.

[Timanky12]

Well I guess it takes 3 ground balls in the in field to record an out, what a disaster inning.

Well he did record one ground ball throw out. So he’s at .500 fielding, lol

Nice recovery but how can you be playing this sloppy, this often, this late in the year? Get that shizz cleaned up, man. 

[samhain]

There's an unusual number of good players on this team to have such a ball-less, faithless front office. Krall and the ownership did this team and it's fans a big disservice with their trade deadline approach.

Why do they hate the idea of a RH power hitting OF or anything else for that matter? It's been a glaring need for YEARS now. Poverty franchise.

Lucky for us, we traded for the best defensive 3rd baseman in the league, or this inning could have got ugly.

We opted for a defensive player instead of an offensive player. Makes sense, since we can’t advance runners on base with no outs, 2 innings in a row.

Sorry to say this, but we have too many players on this team starting, that would be bench players on 90% of the teams in this league.

Overexaggerate much?

[samhain]

This team will have a 77 million dollar payroll after this season. 77 freaking million. Apparently they needed to get Rogers' money off the books to cover Hayes' 7 mil in additional payroll. Think about that shit as a Reds fan. They are spending 77 mil on the entire roster next year and were sweating 7 million.

This team will never win anything of note with these owners.

If you have more than one, then it’s not an exaggeration. Fraley, Benson, Stephenson to name a few

[jmccracky]

Man....Hayes made an amazing play!!!! It was called safe, and was challenged. We won the challenge. This kid is smoooove. I thought the guy was safe. Already making an impact!

And how much is Greene getting? A boatload, so what’s left for rest of the team?

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Not just the error that scored two runs, on the 0-3 his exit velocities have been:
59.8mph
71.6mph
67.5mph

An average of 66.3mph

....Billy Hamilton averaged 80.5mph in his career.
....the MLB average in 2025 is 88.9mph.

Stephenson is the most overrated player on the team.  I look for him to be traded this offseason.  Tons of potential, but just can't ever quite put it together at the plate.

This ownership couldn’t manage a McDonalds on a toll road and make a profit.
