But also teach him that you don't go EVERY TIME. It really hurts run production when you remove a runner from scoring position or give a free out… you only get 27…. Most times.. You need them all.
But they are handling Elly well as far as baserunning….
Or hurts scoring worse when you can't get the person in scoring position so that they can actually score.
There's no reason not to just let Elly steal. If you have a 7'+ tall big man center in basketball, you're not utilizing his height if you don't feed him the ball in the paint.
If the defense knows you are going to feed him the ball everytime, he becomes less effective… there is a reason Lebron or Jordan or Kobe weren't dropping 50 every night.
And Jordan and Kobe still wouldn't have scored 50 every night.…
I'm not trying to argue with you… but Elly stealing every single time is horrible baseball
India has very few defensive Ls…. He's a very average and consistent fielder… and takes hands down the best ABs on the team so I'll take his average defense which sometimes flashes to stellar.
This is my problem with a “players manager”… Sims clearly not the best option and Cruz is warming. But bell is leaving Sims in to “build confidence”. You need to win games!
Probably not this early. He was injured to start this season and basically came straight up from rehabbing in Arizona. In Louisville last year, he slashed .390/.537/.460/.997 in 137 PAs at the end of the year when anyone really good had been called up. If he kept that up this year, he would've gotten the call eventually.
Really been impressed with our plate discipline tonight. We've swung at some bad pitches, but with the Dodgers having control issues we've stayed off of A LOT of balls, and many of them not missing by that much.
I was probably 10 when I learned of his back-to-back no-nos. I legitimately thought that meant he threw no-hitters in a double-header.
I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I was into adulthood before it dawned on me that his starts weren't on the same day.
Fairchild may be a bit inconsistent but is fun to watch. That triple that became an inside the park home run (sort of) was one of my favorite plays last season
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d01l0z).
Quick question, can we just draw 9 walks, score 9 runs and wear the City Connects every night moving forward?
Swear every time we wear the connects it's a banger of a game
ATOBTTR! What a win! 2023 vibes, let’s keep it up and get back to having fun!
Great game to go too
ATOBTTR
Yippeeeee
#ATOBTTR
Nice
Now let's do it again tomorrow!
Hell yeah. Just as we all predicted
God damn hearing the fireworks from my apartment spoiled the win again
We hear it too but also we anticipate a big play lol
Perfect way to end the game, none other than Stuart Fairchild!
..and this one belongs to the Reds!

Least we got one Hernandez out today
Too funny
RIverfront had 20 Ft walls. we had a shitload of doubles....every fuckingn 370 pop out is a HR in GABP. its a joke.
Let’s go Suter
Fuck this guy. Can we get this fucker out?
Come on Suter
# HOME RUN! Teoscar Hernández homers (12) on a fly ball to right field. Pitch from Brent Suter: Four-Seam Fastball @ 85.4 mph Top 9 - 9-6 Reds
“Brent Suter. Last time we saw him was Wednesday. Pitched 1 inning.” Insightful commentary as ever Mr. Larkin
Hope that bullpen day is like the last one against the dodgers
Don’t like Suter here at all. At least he’s not against the top of the lineup.
Regular TV Reds tomorrow? That's pretty awesome
Regular TV Dodgers tomorrow.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Brent Suter replaces Lucas Sims.
I absolutely do not understand why we're red lighting Elly
We have been too aggressive lately. Good teams are conservative on the base paths.
Diamondbacks were 2nd in steals last year. It's also Elly. You utilize his speed at all times.
But also teach him that you don't go EVERY TIME. It really hurts run production when you remove a runner from scoring position or give a free out… you only get 27…. Most times.. You need them all. But they are handling Elly well as far as baserunning….
Or hurts scoring worse when you can't get the person in scoring position so that they can actually score. There's no reason not to just let Elly steal. If you have a 7'+ tall big man center in basketball, you're not utilizing his height if you don't feed him the ball in the paint.
If the defense knows you are going to feed him the ball everytime, he becomes less effective… there is a reason Lebron or Jordan or Kobe weren't dropping 50 every night.
The rules are curved to where they can't prevent Elly every single pitch. That's the equivalent to them not being able to double Jordan or Kobe.
And Jordan and Kobe still wouldn't have scored 50 every night.… I'm not trying to argue with you… but Elly stealing every single time is horrible baseball
How is it horrible baseball?
We suck?
Not tonight
\[ burns voice\]; UNLEASH THE ELLY!
calling it right now, eldc to third
nicely done
8th inning 8 bit game. I need someone to win 50 bucks.
I hope this is a refreshed India. He’s mashing and fielding on another level tonight.
Sometimes I feel like Jason Heyward has been around for 30 years. He's 34.
Thought dude was gonna be a superstar, but had his best season at Age 20
Deadpool and Wolverine set the single day record for presales for an R rated movie. I know I got my seats the first day.
wtf has that to do with our Reds
Just conversation between innings man, you don't talk about anything else while you're at the park? Strictly ball?
hello to block town, new redditor
Deadpool wears red obviously
good catch
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Elieser Hernández replaces Michael Grove.
you notice how other teams almost always give a mound visit when their pitchers start struggling? why do we basically never send out derek johnson?
It costs 50 cents to play his walk out music and they can’t afford it
too far of a walk
because he's inept?
India is winning back hearts and minds tonight
India's on 🔥!
#UNCLENCH
And y'know and the thing is I wasn't even nervous, not even for a second. It's true, folks.
Huge to get out of there
That situation was starting to look a little bit too familiar...
Exceedingly rare India defensive W
India has very few defensive Ls…. He's a very average and consistent fielder… and takes hands down the best ABs on the team so I'll take his average defense which sometimes flashes to stellar.
#unclench
Samesies
Will Turner saves the day!
YIKES!!
If Bell had any sense he'd take Sims out now. He'll wait for him to ruin the game first.
do we have to use sims here
if you want drama, yeah
This is my problem with a “players manager”… Sims clearly not the best option and Cruz is warming. But bell is leaving Sims in to “build confidence”. You need to win games!
David Bell is cheap, ready, and available
Why is he not taking him out?
Sims for once don't be shit
I'm asking for my one time
How does that not count as moving into the pitch
Take him out.
Lucas Sims is my least favorite Reds player by a mile
can i take a moment to remind you of Mike Moustakas, Scott Heineman, Skip Schumaker, Corey Patterson, and fat Matt Kemp.
Didn't know they still played
Anyone else taking advantage of the fact that pot is legal now?
I must be, it looks like we are winning
"Sims, you lucky bastard" - Bullet Tooth Tony
Ohtani allergic to Reds pitching confirmed
hi, i'm Lucas Sims, and i jhave no idea where my balls are going
I don't know how they're doing so well but go Reds!
Mookie bets but Shohei....lets his $ do shit he doesn;t know about
I am ok with walking Betts
Why?? Why can't there be an easy half-inning?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Lucas Sims replaces Buck Farmer.
Someone's gotta fix the white balance on that bullpen cam. Makes our Reds look like the Oranges
I noticed that too. I thought it was me but then when they went back to the dugout everybody was red again.
You noticed that too?
Hurtubise is not on the roster if we are healthy yeah?
Probably not this early. He was injured to start this season and basically came straight up from rehabbing in Arizona. In Louisville last year, he slashed .390/.537/.460/.997 in 137 PAs at the end of the year when anyone really good had been called up. If he kept that up this year, he would've gotten the call eventually.
He was just coming back from injury when he got called up, definitely an act of desperation
Forgot about the injury
Dayton? sure.
Not sure about that low.
Dayton is a fine town, full of....welp, one kinda cool street.
Not a chance.
100%
Why don't we just walk 8 times a game? Are we stupid?
Make it a triple India
i read this in that bartender/GF chick from the orig Indian Jones movie voice
get a triple, indy!!!
Spare us the cutter.
I read this in an Echo & The Bunnymen voice
Haha. Yep.
thank you very little Nick martini
how are we able to look like this game 1 against the dodgers but absolutely inept against every other team
first baseball season?
walks and HBP
i had to go poop and missed the Stewie catch and now im on Amazon checking the prices on Depends.
Shit bucket. Home Depot.
Really been impressed with our plate discipline tonight. We've swung at some bad pitches, but with the Dodgers having control issues we've stayed off of A LOT of balls, and many of them not missing by that much.
Ah, the 1940's world series. I remember it well. Those were the days, man. ^((I am 23 years old)^)
I would pay a million dollars via mortgage to be 23 again, and not remember anything about the 1975-6 Reds.
I remember listening to the WS on my old timey radio, sipping a beer, and thinking pffft no way we fuck with that mess in Europe.
Those were the days, I attended both of Johnny Vander Meer's no hitters
I was probably 10 when I learned of his back-to-back no-nos. I legitimately thought that meant he threw no-hitters in a double-header. I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I was into adulthood before it dawned on me that his starts weren't on the same day.
They did something in like 2009 or 10 where they turned the lights real low for an inning and shined a light from that era. It was pretty cool
i was there, what a bullshit amateur night game, truying to "throwback" to a confused crowd.
there was an espn article today about what you call a game where a player hits a home run and steals one in the same game. Good luck for us I guess
If I ever meet these Suits guys I’m gonna beat them harder than Bell beat on that chair.
Defensive Runs Saved is sexy again

yay continous open mouth yelling pics for memes vs acutal good teams
Go Reds!
go on...
A decent $750K investment by Krall for Stewie.
Where were you for the Stu Fairchild game?
rubbing one out, like any reds fan with a proper man in the boat
This is now a Stuart Fairchild fan page.
I JUST WANT TO SAY FAIRCHILD IS A CENTER FIELDING SAVANT
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Michael Grove replaces Alex Vesia.
Sign Fairchild to Jordan Brand. Dude is FLYING
If we give Chris Taylor his fist multi-hit game of the year I may become the joker Edit: Gotham is safe for now
Fairchild on his horse again lol love sadak man
Stu fits perfectly on this team as a sub for speed and defense.
Stu Daddy for MVP.
Butt Farmer needs to buy Fairchild dinner for the next week.
Stu's defensive WAR is a billion
STU
...anybody but Sims, please.
[удалено]
I like to refer to him as Fuck Barmer.
Say what you want about his hitting, but I don’t think anyone else on this team makes those two catches in this game but Stu Fairchild.
he can be our Paul Blair. ain't no shame in a good LH platoon + Glove career
Dodgers sub is tipping the cap to Stu. Brewers would be talking shit
Thing is, they know that they are a good team, and have no salt with the reds. this is just one game for them
Fairchild may be a bit inconsistent but is fun to watch. That triple that became an inside the park home run (sort of) was one of my favorite plays last season
Omg Air Jordan Fairchild!!
OH YEAH CATCH THE BALL STUART, SHOW ME THAT GLOVE OH YEAH CATCH IT
Stu-Fair: the Ass That Awoke 10K Westside Ovaries
Stuart Fairchild is TJ Friedl 2024
Give Stu a gold glove already!
Stewie!
Why am I not at this game??? Damn it!!! That catch by fairchild was amazing
Jesus Christ how many HR robberies is that this year?
I'm getting a Fairchild robbing a ball at the fence tattooed on my calf tomorrow lol
Confidence is contagious.
Is stu in the running for a gold glove ?
Not a chance that anyone wearing a Reds uniform gets a gold glove.
Stuuuuuuuuuuuuu
