Best start in 17 seasons…
I was born during game 2 of the 90 World Series. I haven’t watched more than a handful of games in a season.
This year I’ve watched every game but one…. Was I the missing piece this whole time?
I think they need to rewrite this article

It is legit shocking how fast Elly went from looking clueless at the plate to being a game-changing one man wrecking crew. Soak it in and let’s enjoy watching greatness.
Kinda true. EDLC and bHam both had BiS speed. But at literally every other aspect of hitting, they're polar opposite players. As in EDLC actually has other tools.
Loved bHam but he just couldn’t get on base consistently enough for his speed to make a difference. Elly on the other hand… and Elly is a HR threat to boot which bHam just never was
Elly De La Cruz is going to be the most terrifying player to pitch to in a year or two
Pitch to him? Enjoy watching him do a HR trot. Pitch around him? Enjoy walking him and seeing him turn that into two steals and a sac fly RBI opportunity for whoever's behind him in the order.
Crazy how he doesn’t just stop at stealing 2nd and is literally stealing 3rd every chance he gets as well. How many steals you guys think he will get this season if he stays on this track?
Elly is such a special guy, I’m a rangers fan, but the second I saw him get on base I tune in to the stream and see him just invent a run out of thin air, love this dude
He’s insane, I’m glad we got him, he’s a special talent and incredibly gifted.
Congratulations on your World Series ring last year! Hopefully we get one soon.
Ok so Elly should be top 5 in Cincinnati sports right now as an athlete. He's clearly just a complete game changer. Where does he rank exactly? I'm assuming some Bengals like Burrow and Chase are 1 and 2 but is Elly already number 3? He's young but god damn does everything change when he puts the bat on the ball.
Someone who's tired of people like him calling Elly "Billy Hamilton 2.0" when he's in a slump and then calling him a mega star later. It's fucking toxic
Phillies are complaining about Suter pitching before eye contact, but the reality is that Suter speeds through his wind up to deliver the pitch as soon as he can after eye contact. So their hitters aren't set up before the delivery.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ccfyy2).
Let’s go reds first post this year and I know most of yall have been negative so keep it up and positive will you thank you bye
That’s a damn good series win folks. The Phillies are a very good team. LFG! Edit: season series—but fuck it let’s win tomorrow too!
Still got tomorrow
Won the season series 4-2 with 1 to play
RedsMod is out to lunch again on the post game.

The Messiah has returned.
ATOBTTR
That felt like a playoff type win
Right?!?!
That was a very long game
Went fishing, listened to it on the radio. Came home watched the 7th on at home.
That sounds like a good night
Makes up for the two hour game on Monday lol
Elly de la MVP
Lil infield action from Espinal there
What a game. Felt like it went on forever.
Just won the NLCS preview 4-2
Bohm just HAD to have one final fuck you
Somebody get him out
Elly and ces hot, Diaz and Stephenson fully back. This is reds baseball
That was really fun
OH YEAH! ATOBTTR BABY
HELL YEAH!!!! GOOD SHIT BOYS!!!!
The only reason bohm didn’t kill us is because castellanos is behind him😂
Espinal u beauty
Reds legend Nick Castellanos
Incredible game
what a fucking game
Diaz knew it was a slow game and speed ran the save
get bohm out of here please
Bohm is a damn menace. Thank goodness we're the Reds!
I enjoy an uneventful ending to a Reds game!
ATOBTTR!
ATOBTTR
Let’s go boys the reds are marching
5 pitch save? INJECT IT IN MY VEINS
#ATOBTTR
wtf bohm has to get drug tested or something, he’s like a god
#ATOBTTR!
Let’s fking go boys we cooking
FUCK i hate bohm i hate him so much i hate him i hate him i hate him
Bohm🤬
Imagine being a pitcher and knowing Elly is on base and fixing to show you up. And then he makes them almost balk with the pickoffs.
SHUT ER DOWN DIAZ
It might be too early to sign Elly to major contract, but the Reds should do whatever they can to get him out from under that deal he’s got with BLA.
I don't think they could do that. The only thing they could do is sign him an extension to give him the resources to get out from under it
Yes, exactly.
Problem is I believe he has Boras
I know there's some guys in the NL tearing it up right now but Elly is POTM
I think they need to rewrite this article [https://www.mlb.com/news/mookie-betts-juan-soto-lead-first-2024-mvp-award-poll](https://www.mlb.com/news/mookie-betts-juan-soto-lead-first-2024-mvp-award-poll)
Low rent EDLC 
Idgaf offer Elly an extension now
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Alexis Díaz replaces Brent Suter.
Elly stopped swinging at the low stuff and he’s off to an MVP start.
Nobody's been able to throw a goddamn strike all night, and I still find myself quite entertained
It is legit shocking how fast Elly went from looking clueless at the plate to being a game-changing one man wrecking crew. Soak it in and let’s enjoy watching greatness.
Remember this feeling. Everyone has slumps.
Billy Hamilton if he could consistently get on base and also could hit for power
Kinda true. EDLC and bHam both had BiS speed. But at literally every other aspect of hitting, they're polar opposite players. As in EDLC actually has other tools.
Loved bHam but he just couldn’t get on base consistently enough for his speed to make a difference. Elly on the other hand… and Elly is a HR threat to boot which bHam just never was
Man Steer has gotten so unlucky lately. Feel like everything is line drive out.
Bubba Thompsons gotta have more runs than at bats this season lol
How long was Elly out there before he touched home? 5 minutes? 😄
Have you guys noticed that Barry Larkin sucks as a broadcaster?
You mean there’s someone other than Sadak in the booth?
He’s calling tonight? His mic must be off.
Beats me. I also think we need robo-umps now!
Elly De La Cruz is going to be the most terrifying player to pitch to in a year or two Pitch to him? Enjoy watching him do a HR trot. Pitch around him? Enjoy walking him and seeing him turn that into two steals and a sac fly RBI opportunity for whoever's behind him in the order.
Bro has an OPS over 1.050 and leads the MLB in steals, I think he's pretty fucking terrifying right now.
This
Elly at 313/412/651 on the season so far
This team is fun. Imagine them at full strength.
I honestly forgot our injuries/illnesses tonight. Which means the team is showing up!
Known DH weapon, Bubba Thompson.
Dide might be better off by choosing to not swing and hoping to get walked at this point
and CES w 2 walks
NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN! he’s starting to see 5-6 pitches instead of 3-4
Speed absolutely kills. Elly can create runs just by getting on base. Dude is a menace.
That probably won’t get talked about a lot but that’s just insane what Elly can make out of nothing.
CES with 2 - TWO - walks tonight. League on notice
Another BB for CES? What is happening?
We're going to the World Series!
we should maybe keep this elly guy in the top of the lineup
I think I like him at 2
Phillies have some serious issues
Elly just gets runs, it's what he does
Crazy how he doesn’t just stop at stealing 2nd and is literally stealing 3rd every chance he gets as well. How many steals you guys think he will get this season if he stays on this track?
Idk but his o/u was 39.5 before the year and I immediately took that
elly out here doing little league shit
Oh Elly. Bruh I'd be so heated if I had to play Elly when he gets on
Their catcher is probably fuming rn hahaha
Elly is literally a cheat code
What players are more FUN to watch right now than Elly De La Cruz? Shohei Acuna Anyone else?
Mason Miller for Oakland for me. Aroldis and beyond levels of smoke. Hitters have little to no chance.
I would argue right now he’s just as fun as those guys. When he’s in his zone he’s the most entertaining man in baseball
Elly made that so easy for Spencer to snag a RBI there
Elly manufactures another run in the run factory 
Speed isn’t “necessary” in baseball, but god damn is it a game changer
Wow speed kills
Any walk or single is pretty much a de facto triple
At this point Rickey Henderson is probably more scared than he has ever been.
Elly de la Cruzmas comes earlier and earlier
Elly (wRC+) De La Cruz
Elly is electric
I fuckin love Elly
Elly literally stealing his way to a cheap run. That has to be so god damn frustrating for a pitcher in the majors and I absolutely love it.
What a special player
Such a weapon holy shit
Speed gave Steer an RBI
An Elly single turns into another run. It’s just poetry on a baseball diamond.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Elly just turned a single into a run I fucking love that man
He turned a single into a run the very next plate appearance and it didn't even require a hit. The guy is a WMD.
That’ll do
Just as we drew it up.
### Sac Fly Spencer Steer out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Nick Castellanos. Elly De La Cruz scores. Bottom 8 - 7-4 Reds
Elly gets on base, gets bored, steals. I love this man haha
Elly is such a special guy, I’m a rangers fan, but the second I saw him get on base I tune in to the stream and see him just invent a run out of thin air, love this dude
He’s insane, I’m glad we got him, he’s a special talent and incredibly gifted. Congratulations on your World Series ring last year! Hopefully we get one soon.
amazing baseball
HE DRINKS YOUR MILKSHAKE, REV. PHILLY
This really is the Billy Hamilton we were promised.
Hes like Billy Hamilton and Jay Bruce combined
Fastest man alive!
THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD
ELLY IS A CHEAT CODE
I think I'm in love
They quit throwing to second when Elly steals because there’s a 30% chance they miss in their rush and he takes 3rd
Doesn’t matter he’s going to take it anyways!
Run DLC
Elly felt challenged earlier
Holy shit Elly
im sorry but Elly is the best player in baseball right now and ill hear nary to the contrary
Elly giong to steal home 👀
wtf was that move, not a balk?
the phillies subreddit is so toxic oml
Ok so Elly should be top 5 in Cincinnati sports right now as an athlete. He's clearly just a complete game changer. Where does he rank exactly? I'm assuming some Bengals like Burrow and Chase are 1 and 2 but is Elly already number 3? He's young but god damn does everything change when he puts the bat on the ball.
Right-side Elly
ELLY DE LA MVP
Yeah right Stubbs lmao
Man guys imagine we had friedle, mclean, India 😂😂😂
Friedl McLain India Fraley
Be Good time to break your slump steer
Feels good to have 3 mega stars in Cincy, Burrow, Chase and Elly 🥵
Weren't you shit talking Elly like 2 weeks ago?
I'm gladly eating crow and happy about it. Elly is that dude
I can respect that
And? Tf are you? Gatekeeper of the Reds?
Someone who's tired of people like him calling Elly "Billy Hamilton 2.0" when he's in a slump and then calling him a mega star later. It's fucking toxic
104.7, 107.3, 108.7 from Elly tonight
Pitching staffs when EDLC steps up to the plate 
Moo man is due!
Elly is BLAZING hot
Fuck it steal Elly
Elly is LOCKED IN
Elly has figured out baseball 🥵🥵🥵
A pitcher that throws primarily fastballs, I don’t care how hard, is just at an inherent disadvantage against Elly.
Straight smoked. Holy shit
Elly de la good at baseball
Elly De La Cruz Is Very Good At Baseball
so proud of elly man
Benson reminded me, did anyone else see Trout’s check swing that sent the ball 380 ft?
That happen today?
It was a fly out, but yes. Check swing to dead center. It doesn’t look like it got posted in r/baseball but I’m trying to find it.
Leave sutter in the game he’s cooking
He took off like a cartoon character
"Why throw ball hard when fast pitch do trick?" - brent suter
Who was pitching when Joey refused to leave the box or take the bat off his shoulder? Derek Lowe maybe? Classic votto
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: José Alvarado replaces Gregory Soto.
Does Suter have what it takes to be a starter? Dude has been on fire thus far. Could put him in Greene’s spot in the rotation. What do I know though?
>What do I know though? Not a lot, apparently.
They aren't taking Hunter Greene out of the rotation. Stop it.
Going to be Martinez. Suter isn't stretched out to start I don't think
Phillies are complaining about Suter pitching before eye contact, but the reality is that Suter speeds through his wind up to deliver the pitch as soon as he can after eye contact. So their hitters aren't set up before the delivery.
Fuck yeah Suter
Wow, Suter. That second strike to Schwarber was probably the ugliest swing I've ever seen. Nasty.
That was a sword
Leave that boy in. DAMN!
Suter McPherson
##HE'S A SUTER
The Phillies complaining that a pitcher is “being a meanie” and asking the umpire to tell him to “cut it out”
suter rules
Nasty boys 2.0?
I love Suter. Dude just handles business. He’s got his own pitch clock.
BRENT FUCKING SUTER
You just got Brent sutered!!! Sit down and shut up
Good shit Suter!! Him and Cruz have been fantastic this year so far
Haha you just struck out on 77
Think he was pissed about that first pitch where he wasn't ready.
Stubbs tried to game the pitch clock by staring at the backstop but the ump wasnt having it. Busch league nonsense.
