Starting pitching in an iron lung but we’re there!
GO BRAVES ! …sorry Herro …wow what a series that was
I hated seeing annoying Reds and Braves fans going at it. I respect the Braves more than any other team. Knew it would be a tall order with our pitching against that lineup
Cincy is tough …sweating it out till the last out every game …you guys get some pitching and look out 👍
Reds have got to get some pitching help before the trade deadline. Can't rely on outscoring your opponent every night.
I was at the game Sunday. Pitching cost Reds the game for sure. De La Cruz didn’t get anything going at the plate. Looks like he likes to chase a low change up. Good game though.
GO BRAVES!!! Reds are my father's favorite team, but I live in Catlanta.
Votto has his little hot streak when he came back. His pitch recognition speed has slowed dramatically.
Elly De La Cruz can't hit curving or low stuff. And his speed is going to be negated if he can't figure out how to lay down a bunt. Tremendous upside, though. Right now to my eyes he's a combination of Billy Hamilton and Aristides Acquino, with a much faster swing.
It's mostly a lineup of decent to good hitters, who are for the most part tenacious on the basepaths.
Yes, get some starting pitching. Hopefully Reds Brass doesn't sit on their hands and say "it's a rebuilding year and where ya gonna go?"

We'll be fine if we can pick up some serviceable starting pitching via trades. I love our fight!
Cruz killed us Friday night …couldn’t get the kid out …love when he comes to the plate all the Reds fans pull out their phones lol …Braves started pitching him inside the rest of the series where he couldn’t extend his arms …was effective …even caused him to foul a ball off right on his ankle which slowed him even more
All is good in the world when the Reds and Braves are killing it.
I'm not a Reds fan, but I'm happy for you all. And it's nice to hear them on radio on drives home when they're actually good. Nothing worse than 4 months of lame duck baseball on the radio.

Cruz is 1-for-16 since that Atlanta game.
I don't understand how anyone can cheer for a team from Indiana, Ohio, or Tennessee. I realize we don't have pro teams here, but have some self respect guys!
I don’t know why not when your state doesn’t have a team, you cheer for the “home” franchise, Reds around here and Cardinals in the west part of the state. No idea why you didn’t even list the state of North Carolina but oh well.
I say F dudes that live in North Carolina, Dukie and Tar Heel wannabes.
Eh we barely border NC, and I don't know many people who cheer for any teams in KY. But we have plenty of Reds/Cardinals/Titans/Pacers fans...
That is utterly stupid!!!
I am a bigger UK fan than you can ever hope to be, and because of that hate Duke and UNCheat more than most other UK fans.
I simply grew up in a part of KY not close to any MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL teams (at the time, 70s-80s) so never liked the assumption that us Kentuckians should automatically be Reds/Bengals/Cards/Rams fans.
If history repeats, it's likely that the Cardinals finish above those Red Legs.
All I have to say is suck it Ryan Lemon, your cards are in last place while the Reds are in first.
I feel like this may be a jinx post at the end of the year.
Not a Reds fan, but my cousin and two of my best buddies are and they are very happy.
If history repeats, the Cardinals will cry, pick fights, then hide behind MLB
Hicks is pathetic, should have played for DOOK with that acting performance

Reds went 7-8 v the only 4 MLB teams playing .600 ball or better (Atlanta 1-5, Texas 3-0, TB 1-2 and Balt. 2-1) and are done with all of them with half the season still to play. Nice try burying the Reds before the break MLB! Epic Fail !!!

You sound like a notre Dame football or Indiana basketball fan bragging about ancient times and glory days of old. Next you will tell me about how you didn't quit when the Germans bombed pearl harbor.
I will give baseball credit for having solid parity. All the titles count though so why dont u post all time title count?
Or do we not count UKs 40s and 50s titles when talking smack to other fanbases?
Also, I'm just messing with you guys.
What is the Reds record vs the Braves this season? 1-5 and they are 0-2 in series.

You mean when it really matters like the Reds 5 world titles?
1919
1940
1975
1976
1990
Those 5 Championships include a current 9 gm WS win streak and the last NL team to go back to back to this day.
Dont let your hate for the oldest pro baseball city in history distort your cognitive abilities.

And all 6 gms were decided by 1 run.
Cincy is the last team the Bravos want to see in October.
Loved Cycling on the Braves too and snapping your 8 gm win streak in the process.
Face it, the Reds are legit!
I agree the Reds are legit …yeah I don’t wanna see them in the playoffs lol …but I gotta add …Braves pitching has been fairly good and they have been missing Kyle Wright and Max Fried who should be back soon …those two guys are studs
Dude my Dad took me to see the BRM when I was 8 in RFS. Im 56 now and have forgot more about Reds baseball than you will ever know. Oh and:OP =
“I dont mean to brag and dont mean to boast but I like warm butter on my breakfast toast.”
Reds have won six straight series on the road for a 15-3 record during that timeframe. This team guys this team….

I was reminded of the situation with Pedro Cerrano in the movie Major League as the announcers were saying the same thing the other night. They said that pitchers were not going throw him fastballs because he was killing it but instead, throw curveballs and changeups down and in because he has a problem with those.
"Fastball I can hit it very much but curveball, bats are scared".
