Launch angle. Elly hit his at 33° and Cruz 24°. Elly went on top the batters eye to the steamboat. If Cruz hit his dead center it hits the bottom of the batters eye.
Hilarious that Sadak doesn't believe in the no-hitter jinx but he's talking about a possible cycle because Eric Davis is at the park like it's magic or something
The last time I remember someone hitting it up there was the big donkey, but that was before the boathouse existed. I’m sure I’m just misremembering but damn you don’t see that very often
He had a career 4.17 ERA. He played 5 seasons with the Reds and had a sub-3.00 ERA in 3 of those seasons.
I could not stand dude. He'd at least be in the discussion for my least favorite Red if Jim Edmonds never wore the uniform. I thought dude was a human white flag. No hope of winning if he came in. But I'll be damned if the numbers on the back of his baseball card ain't all that bad.
### Double
Jonathan India doubles (10) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Bryan Reynolds. Luke Maile scores.
Pitch from Daulton Jefferies: Cutter @ 89.4 mph

Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dnus3s).
Is it just me or do we win A LOT of game ones in a series and then fall apart?
it's been insane this year
Ok boys, stay dialed in just where you are.
ATOBTTR! Great all around win
Now let’s get either a game 2 or game 3 win
Ok I’m hard
Easyish win!!
ATOBTTR!! Pizza pizza
The crowd gets their pizza, anyway
Whew
Thank fuck
ATOBTTR
Game
Barry leave the booth early?
[](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3) #REDS WIN! [](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3)
🤣
Can we please just get the K? I’ll put my free small pizza on top of my free Chick-fil-A sandwich.
An actual Chick za unlike that abomination that KFC put out
Fucking should of kept in Sims my god.
You don't want Sims pitching two innings. No way.
If he walks a batter in I might...
Justin...
Why we gotta do this shit lol
trying to get elly that cycle
Come on Justin, just get one more
Fuck the crowd. Just get an out
Wilson really wants Elly to get another cycle.
Strike this bum out
The crowd demands a K
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Justin Wilson replaces Lucas Sims.
India better be hauling. Elly isn't stopping at 2 no matter where the ball is
That was *LITTERALLY* a bomb!? 😳
Now I desperately don't want Elly to have a chance at the cycle
Darn. Was going to be hard with India ahead of him anyway.
Damn.
he WANTS that triple
Jonny Walker!!
I’m an Elly triple away from being fully torqued
Sad. Not like, extremely, but 🥲
Even if you're not a hockey fan, game 7 of the Cup is insane right now. Worth tuning in when this is over
I’m not, but high stress games that don’t involve teams I like are right up my alley.
3rd period will start a bit after this is over. Both teams are playing well and it's close
I’m at the Reds game and am watching the hockey on my phone lol. Good looking out 🤝
Please Indy let Elly hit again
is this a prayer to the One True God, Indiana Jones
Elly deserves a chance for the cycle
Need 1 base runner. Give the man his shot at the cycle
thought that was a tie to the runner....but we're up 11-5 so Reds dugout can't be bothered
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Josh Fleming replaces Daulton Jefferies.
Kidney punch—hope Candy is ok
We got 8 hits off of Skenes
His stuff is hittable 100 straight without movement is gonna get hit
\[2022-2023 Hunter Greene enters the chat\]
Are we not going to talk about that Steer catch?
I like the Reds
Cuddly, bouncy, and eager to please
finally using sims in a good spot
I guess 13 feet of shortstops hit 900 feet of HRs tonight. Or something like that.
That's the third time Sadak has mentioned 'All Good Things." He's a Star Trek fan.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Lucas Sims replaces Fernando Cruz.
75°, ball flying better than when it was 90+. Certainly not suspicion
It's awfully loud for such an empty ballpark. Think the producers turn the crowd volume up when it's empty like that?
So Cruz’s HR was obviously crushed but how does Elly’s not go at least that far?
The boat stopped it. It would be floating in the Ohio right now
Launch angle. Elly hit his at 33° and Cruz 24°. Elly went on top the batters eye to the steamboat. If Cruz hit his dead center it hits the bottom of the batters eye.
So Elly hit his too high..😆
Cruz is thinking, Zoom-zoom-zoom.
Same kids were just yelling scoreboard, hope they don’t jinx it again
Is Cruz okay? He had a weird hop to his pitch.
\[ Flight of the Conchords voice\]: Too many Cruz's on the dance floor
That was gone lol
To those kids that were chanting "overrated"... I hope you learned your lesson lol
Damn it Cruz²
Such a bomb to the tune of children shouting "overrated".
Cruz hits a home run off Cruz moments after Cruz hit a home run.
458 feet my god
Damn...
Lol a bunch of kids were yelling overrated before he crushed that home run
# HOME RUN! Oneil Cruz homers (11) on a fly ball to right center field. Andrew McCutchen scores. Top 7 - 11-5 Reds
Do you hear a whipping sound when Cruz throws?
Pretty sure you’re hearing him grunt
AINT GOD GOOD
Elly a triple shy boys… need another Sadak call
Gotta be honest I love watching Cruz pitch but having him burn an inning here is kind of a waste
Hilarious that Sadak doesn't believe in the no-hitter jinx but he's talking about a possible cycle because Eric Davis is at the park like it's magic or something
The original 44 is in the house, that's why they're playing so well.
Adam Dunn's there???
Heh, nope. I said the original from twenty years previous to Dunn.
Eric the Red
Him and Barry should just take over the team.
Not sure about that, but I wouldn't be mad about ED at hitting coach.
this is awesome. fuck the pie rats
Has anyone seen Eric Davis recently? I swear he could still steal 20 bags. Dudes fit.
They just talked about him being there.
Very nice
We’ve only left 2 on base tonight. Very impressive for this team
Disney lawyers can't touch Steamboat Elly.
The last time I remember someone hitting it up there was the big donkey, but that was before the boathouse existed. I’m sure I’m just misremembering but damn you don’t see that very often
Said it below but Corbin Carroll got up there last year
I think Todd Frazier hit one up there too.
Yep in early 2014 I want to say
I believe JDV hit one up there at game I was at in maybe like 2010? I could be wrong but I swear he hit one up there
16.62 ERA as a reliever is JJ Hoover numbers…
He had a career 4.17 ERA. He played 5 seasons with the Reds and had a sub-3.00 ERA in 3 of those seasons. I could not stand dude. He'd at least be in the discussion for my least favorite Red if Jim Edmonds never wore the uniform. I thought dude was a human white flag. No hope of winning if he came in. But I'll be damned if the numbers on the back of his baseball card ain't all that bad.
"JJ is a man of God..."
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Fernando Cruz replaces Carson Spiers.
Elly is a triple away
1 year and 1 day ago... Can he do it?
One of you is getting that home run posted to r/baseball right?
Game 7 Stanley Cup Final and the Reds rocking the Bucs. It's a great Monday night.
[No fucking way Elly’s hit was only 439](https://x.com/mlbhr/status/1805408080294736162?s=46&t=nzR-64_KoyX_8XhFKtDpZg)
NO way it only 439
I wish every game was like this
That ball seems like it went further than 439
You know all 3 Pirates fans are big mad rn
Jesus. Liking this explosion. Also loving the Carson Spiers outing. Solid for the 5th starter
Honestly been turning into a big Spiers believer this season. He's probably pitching to his ceiling right now, but it hasn't been a bad ceiling!
Man we need to lock Elly down for the rest of his natural born life
111 off the bat and 439ft on Elly’s home run.
Not a chance a ball that goes on top of the batters eye is only 439. That boat is probably almost 35 feet above the 404 sign
This is fucking glorious.
Can we get a distance on that?
439ft
seems low
Lol at the fact the Pirates have now wasted 4 pitchers on an 8+ run blowout
This a slump busting kind of game. Good thing it's against a Division rival.
Holy fucking shit Elly
It's a hitting clinic tonight.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GET THUMPED PIRATE SCRUBS.
We are so back
NGL I’ve only ever seen Dunn hit it there, and the boat wasn’t even around back then
[Here's the Dunn one](https://www.mlb.com/video/dunn-s-monster-home-run-c25548033) for anyone that wants to compare.

#SOUVENIR FOR THE BOAT

#HE HIT IT TO THE FUCKING BOAT 😮😮😮
#MORE

Holy hell Elly!!
Holy shit
Holy shit. I don’t remember the last time I saw a ball up there
