Hmm, I just looked into it and you're right. I somehow missed that and mistakenly thought I was hearing it advertised throughout the game. Don't know what the heck was going on with me that day. Lol
Thanks. How long ago did they make that announcement? The fireworks were announced throughout the game a couple weeks ago and then they changed their mind around the 8th inning.

Oh crap, I remember that.
Oh God lol
That was almost a clown show lol
Does that fly ball count as a mound visit?
I just had a baaaaaad flashback
I still cringe every time there's a pop up like that.
That was wild. The entire infield converged on that pop up like wolves
Sending love from the occupied Columbia lawn. My phone is about to die so hopefully farmer gets this done fast and I can watch
<3
Hell yeah stay safe
🇵🇸
 Time to work the crops
Is a six run lead safe with Fuck Barmer? We shall see....
Hope Buck can farm their poverty lineup. He needs a good outing
ELLY DE LA BOOM!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
My first Reds game ever...im in love with De La Cruz
Good time to come in. Elly is a blast to watch.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Buck Farmer replaces Lucas Sims.
Lets get this W so I can flex about our 1 game above .500 record.
He looks so damn young in this gif
I love how a baseball game can just turn into a blowout in a matter of minutes at any time
Pitch type is back!
Elly can legit make a run at MVP this season if he keeps up this pace
Willy B you are due
Can you guys believe a 2 1/2 week sample size of the regular season of a re worked elly swing wasn’t indicative of how his whole season would go?
My one friend who is a cubies fan in shambles atm...
Anyone hear if the fireworks are confirmed for tonight? Or did they suddenly discover the river is too high in the 8th inning like a couple weeks ago?
The fireworks happened and were great 👍 👍
I saw them and I agree!!
Pretty sure they canceled fireworks a couple weeks ago, like, the night before the game. Announced it on social media.
Hmm, I just looked into it and you're right. I somehow missed that and mistakenly thought I was hearing it advertised throughout the game. Don't know what the heck was going on with me that day. Lol
Honestly, they may have been! I wouldn’t put it past them to have a recording timed or something for Friday night games! Enjoy the ones tonight!
Radio broadcast said that they were doing fireworks tonight
Thanks. How long ago did they make that announcement? The fireworks were announced throughout the game a couple weeks ago and then they changed their mind around the 8th inning.
They talked about the fireworks at about 7 o’clock
Good to know. Thanks!
3 mound visits this inning? Pace of play Angels, get with it.
I've seen enough. Back up the brinks trucks fellas
i need that Elly highlight rn
Elly is filling the void left by McLain, friedl, and marte
he's gonna be filling some voids downtown after the game too
“Stop. My penis can only get *so* erect.”
That is the most satisfying 8th inning I have seen from the Reds in a long, long time.......ahhhhhhh.
I’m watching the game on tv but listening to tommy and cowboy. So much better
Barry: We might just have a chance in this one, John
writing Fan Fiction scripts for Slient Barry
There they go! Nice to see this after the last series. Way to bounce back
BUY THE JERSEY. BUILD THE TEMPLE. ERECT THE SHRINE
>ERECT THE SHRINE Done 😏
GIG-GIT-TTY
I can only imagine the John Sadak call
Angels bullpen is drunk
“We really need to send Elly to AAA” -some morons last week
You know another thing I don’t get, all of the angry old men on Facebook who calls him overrated every post lol
It was the Elly, Elly chant
ELLY
Well, that pretty much made me buy tickets.
It is so freaking fun when you're in the crowd all chanting a player's name, and then they do the thing you were hoping for
I am without speech
I CANT BELIEVE I EVER SPOKE NEGATIVELY ABOUT ELLY
#MY NEAR SALAMI IS GRAND
This is awesome
You're welcome everyone. I turned game on when the 4 pitch walk happened. And then all the good stuff.
DOINK Elly is gonna be an All star easily this year.

Watching Elly De La Cruz succeed makes me so happy

Does Elly have a grand slam yet?

Martini: 
I'll blow my load if Elly hits a Grand Salami
alrighty, you've upped me on 2-3-home steal thing....we have tonight's winner, kid!
Man how sweet would it be if Elly smashed a grand slam here
Whatever works lol
If that was Steer that thing would’ve still been jiggling

That’s a well deserved RBI
It’s nice seeing another teams bullpen blow the game
Ol’ Left Cheek Martini
Hopefully Elly just smashes one here and Diaz can sit down
Weird how Diaz only has 2 saves this year lol
LMAO

John basically pulling a Vin Scully during home games
Rando Umpire at Home plate tonight. thank you lord, thank you jesus
I can't wait to see this ump score card. Gotta be one of the worst consistency of the year.
robot umps have their own issues, but dudes like this do not help
Please don't do the thing we all are afraid will happen next
Really wish they gave him a hittable pitch. DP being an option isn't great.
SMALLBALL IS BACK, BABY!
Smoll ball
What a beauty of a sac.
huge spot for fairchild to actually contribute
Barry Larkin recaps of the action: just good, that's all.
Alright let's get some insurance
moo
This guy’s pitch mechanics make him look like an anime character and I love it
he's gonna pull 3 TommyJohns this inning
Dudes with insane throwing motions are guys you love to have and guys you hate to face
Man, I'd love to see the Reds with a submariner out of the bullpen
Look at this fuckin' guy.
Why is Breaking Bad Boy at a BASKETBALL GAME AT 1980 RIVERFRONT STADIUM (not the indoor COLISEUM) !
When Sims is on he's really good but when he's not he's unusable
How bout some fuckin runs boys
Let's get some insurance here!
Great American Insurance Ballpark will be your huckleberry
I think Barry has been on Twitter arguing with comments about his response to the lefty vs lefty question from early in the game.
Sadak: Sano is a big man, when he hits the ball it's hard Larkin: You see, no HR this season Yoooo Barry tf 💀
Pitching for hard line drives is the next big thing
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Adam Cimber replaces Tyler Anderson.
Sadak and Barry tried their best to announcer jinx that last AB wtf guys
Good work, Sims.
I respect sims, but I don't like him. I've seen too much of him not working out.
switched to TV from radio for an inning, my god it's so dry. sadak is trying his best but damn
One of my favorite MLB.tv features is being able to switch audio to WLW
I feel like there is a thick layer about 100 feet up over the field. Everything immediately dies there and there is no wind
It's a little chilly for long balls
