@bill_koger @RedsInFour The entire team has struggled to hit - common denominator = Valaika. Get rid of this pitching staff, they're the problem!

@RedsInFour Why do we as an organization seem to have so many AAAA players who destroy baseballs in Louisville but never find consistent footing in the big leagues? Or is this just ignorance of other orgs on my part?

Where has all of this smug arrogance around Noelvi Marte from the larger fantasy baseball community come from?

@RedsDaily4 You forgot McLains double to start it off and score on Stewart's HR. I know it doesn't fit your narrative but give credit where credits due!

REDS WIN Record: 15-8 - Sal Stewart 💣 - Elly RBI - Rece Hinds 2 RBI - Rhett Lowder quality start - Bullpen nails again THE REDS ARE HOT! #ATOBTTR

@CharlieG__ Reds needed an upgrade in the outfield, but instead their doing what they always do. Bleday over Marte was definitely the answer.

Terry Francona on Lowe getting the final spot on the roster. "It was the role. It’s a bench role. We really want Bleday and Hinds to play. We told them that. They both swung the bat really well. We talked to Lowe about the role. I think that’s the reason. I told Hinds, he couldn’t have done more. The role is a bench spot, and we want you to play."

@uglyrxn @SleeperReds Eat shit Derrick!

@SleeperReds It won’t transition to the regular season.

Matt McLain just became the first Red to homer seven times in a single spring. HAVE YOURSELF A SPRING MR. MCLAIN

@johnsadak You mean Matt McLain!!? There was no mention of Ellys numbers on that stat report, but not surprisingly it became all about Elly.

ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) is here. Comes with a player appeal (hitter/catcher/pitcher only). Super fast & consistent. Biggest impact for the 2026 Reds? Elly De La Cruz has been among MLB's leaders in true balls called strikes. He is THE Red that should benefit.

@bryancooke1 @Reds Sal wasn't able to make a difference - he hit into a double play. We had 5 hits today. McLain wasn't the only one with 0 hits. A couple good games, but Elly hasn't been reliable either. I wonder how many errors he has to make to prove he can't get shit done at SS!?

@Reds McClain needs to sit and start Sal. This 0-4 shit can not happen right now. Yea, he played ok for a week or two but he's no where close to being reliable. ESPECIALLY BATTING AFTER ELLY! My god how many times does he need to prove he can't get shit done this year?

@bryancooke1 @dtimothy5155 @Reds He did win the game for us Sunday. His double to get on base and score on Lux hit was our only run. What don't you get!

@dtimothy5155 @Reds Tito needs to be held accountable for not holding the players accountable. McClain has all off-season to get right. Now is not the time to see if he'll get lucky. I just don't get it.

@CraigPo12929537 @sportsfanatici @Reds He was one of the only few hits last night and defensively the best on this team. Sal can't play 2nd and not sure why bringing him up means sending McLain down. Andujar is injured, if they bring him up (which they wont) he's a DH not an infielder.

@sportsfanatici @Reds I like McClain but he sucks,yeah he had shoulder surgery last yr, but play Sal get some run support

Final:

@EllyDeLaCruz22 @RedsDaily4 Elly de la Errors needs to be in the outfield. He would make a much better superstar for this team if you get him out of the infield.

@RedsDaily4 The Reds offense is horrible. Next off season they need to totally tear down this lineup. Everyone not names Marte or Elly needs to be at risk. Signings, trades and promotions need to totally revamp this offense.

Bases loaded one out. TJ Friedl grounds into an inning ending double play. They have left way too many runners on base this series.

@bigtunastop @Reds @MarteNoelvi That's a no for me on Larkin. I'd much rather see Votto run this team.

@Reds @MarteNoelvi The @reds should ask Barry Larkin to be the Pres of Ops/GM. Nick Krall and Brad Meador have no leadership or PR skills, exhibit losing mentalities and have ZERO clue what winning is, at any level or occupation. Replacing them is the next step in being a championship team!

Sunday W #ATOBTTR

@kautzdw @RedsDaily4 McLain wasn't even in the lineup the last 2 of the 3 games we lost. No one on this team can hit. Time to blame someone else.

@RedsDaily4 Just go out and win the next 7 on the west coast with hays, espinal, and mclain

Reds lose. 67-63 - Offense non-existent - Abbott poor start - Zach Maxwell MLB debut - Will Banfield MLB debut - Ke’Bryan Hayes keeps hitting Three game losing streak to the Angels and DBacks is brutal.

@phil513 @RedsDaily4 McLain has 3rd most HR, 3rd most Runs, and 5th most RBIs on the team. Doesn't sound like stats of the worst hitter in all of MLB.

@RedsDaily4 Starts with the guy in AAA. 2nd base is a huge problem. McLain and Espinal are two of the top worst hitters in all of MLB.

Good series, but you just shouldn’t lose this many games when you hold the opponent to two runs. Have to find more offense.

@skelly_5000 @Reds Elly is the one who lost the game. If he didn't throw that ball in the dirt, the 10th inning never happens.

The #Reds today announced the following transactions:

@BomberJake79 @CBoxSports Only thing Tito knows is how to make excuses for Elly. I've got news for you Tito, it wasn't a difficult play! He lost this game for us 100%.

@CBoxSports 2 games in a row on Elle errors ,Tito you know what you have to do

Is this some sort of practical joke?

@DatBeachBoy @Reds McLain is the best 2nd baseman defensively. Find a new hitting coach!!!!

@Reds Find a second baseman!

@Calmert_Rey @Reds He's got way more than 17 errors. They just don't count them all as errors.

@Reds Move Elly to CF. He can't make the trows. 17 errors.

@christian2019d @CBoxSports What don't you get? He isn't so good. He lead the league in errors last season and would be again this year if they actually counted all his errors.

Miscommunication from Ke'Bryan Hayes and Elly De La Cruz has lead to 5 runs and Nick Martinez being chased from the game in the 3rd inning. Reds lead 8-6, Brent Suter coming in.

@g3not4 @CBoxSports They had in the field leadership with McLain at SS but Reds decided the flash of Elly was more important. He never knows where he's suppose to be on the field. How could he possibly be the team leader.

@CBoxSports An embarrassing loss by a team not ready for the pressures of the playoffs. They are missing on the field leadership.

The Cincinnati Reds blow an 8-1 lead. The #Reds are now 9-28 vs the Brewers in Cincinnati since 2021.

@Reds @PNCBank Another day off for McLain and lots of shit talk about sending him down. He's an elite player working his way back from not playing since the last half of 2023. Even with his struggles at the plate he still has the 3rd most HR's, 5th most RBI's, and 3rd most Runs on this team.

@LanceMcAlister This entire team has struggled at the plate. Perhaps it's the hitting coach that needs firing. Lots of chatter about McLain. The majority of the team went 1 for 4 yesterday. Not great at bats for most of the team. He at least got on base and scored.

McLain entered tonight hitting .297 last 24 games. Do people wanting to send him down just look at his .224 season average? I don't get it. #Reds
