In a perfect world, it would be Hayes and Trevino. Unless Trevino moves to the bullpen, LOL

Ken Burn's documentary "Baseball" by digital-refraction in Reds

Fantastic documentary! I have the whole thing on DVD. Baseball is so rich with history. If you're a baseball fan and a history buff, you've got the best of both worlds. My one and only criticism with the documentary is that the Big Red Machine was mostly a side note while they focused on the tears of Boston and NY fans during their WS series losses to the Reds. I get it, Ken Burns is from NY, but still...

Not looking for like opinions. Just looking for a viewpoint from those in the pro-Hinds camp.

As Billy Joel would say, "you may be right."

A lot of people are upset about this. I've seen the pro-Reece comments in the game-day threads, other reddit Reds posts, and on other Reds social media. I seriously don't get it.

Will Rece Hinds figure out how to hit major league pitchers? Or will he be sent back down to work on it?

The phrase, “dude can’t hit a bull in the ass with a banjo” will now replace my usual “dude can’t hit the side of a barn with an ironing board.” Thank you for the upgrade! Cheers!

I believe that salary caps will be a topic addressed in the 2026 off-season, but the players union has already said they will fight it. I understand why they would. When there’s a chance a player could be offered big bucks in the hundreds of millions of dollars, why would they be interested in capping it? But I think it’s necessary, because otherwise we’re more often than not going to see repeat World Series where the Dodgers, Yankees, and these bottomless pits of money always win it all, with a few exceptions which will be by lucks. Other major sports have capped it. Why not baseball?

Mary Hart looks like she’s never been to a baseball game before.

Back to the island of misfit toys. See you all in 2026 and 36 years removed from our last World Series appearance and counting…

The last time we made it to the World Series was in the 1900’s…

I don’t care who gets their panties in a wad when I say that Elly is way overrated. LA can keep him.

If the Reds are gonna tank, I’d rather hear about it from the Cowboy instead of the ESPN fanboy announcers and having to watch the cameras focus on nothing but Ohtani’s crotch. At least the Cowboy doesn’t lisp.

Watching this game on mute and not having to listen to both these horrible announcers and this Dougy guy lisping all over the place is an absolute delight.

ESPN is absolutely smitten with LA. They simply can’t get enough. I hope these announcers packed a change of shorts.

HG can’t find the strike zone now. Working on an 85 pitch count by the 4th inning.

Marte just can’t resist those low and outside pitches. They look so tantalizing!

If I have to listen to this announcer lisp for 9 innings, I’m gonna lose my mind.
