Slumpbuster Baseball

@RedsInFour Baseball is more than analytics. bounced back from some brutal losses and stayed together (with the exception of HG) - a reflection of the culture he’s building, they were hurt, underfunded, got sick at a critical time, made it through Bristol and still made the playoffs.

I truly, deep down in my heart do not believe that Terry Francona knows how to handle the in-game portion of being a manager anymore. Undeniable asset in the clubhouse and great at giving “oh shucks” quotes to the media, but the in-game management has passed the man by.

@ATBBTTR Francona is building a culture and you need to look at it in the context a multi year plan rather than just this year. his players all know that he has their backs. He rewarded team players who worked hard and cut “me” guys like canelario. the culture going forward is exciting

Are there any more Tito defenders left on the timeline? Please give us a reason why you still believe.

@Nicholaspkirby do you know what the reds did hotel wise since they were flying out tonight after the game? Not a ton of options they’re used to close by?

@UDCincyFan Just announce 9:40 start time

@UDCincyFan Crammed into tiny concourses with 85k of our newest friends….

People at the game. What the hell did you do during the rain delay?

@LanceMcAlister He covers a lot of ground but feel like he doesn’t get as good of reads on balls as TJ…

Benson covers more ground in CF than Friedl #Reds

@Nati_Sports Can we please start a go fund me for this???

Juan Soto in Boston would be absolutely insane. But he'd be even more insane at Great American Ballpark, where he'd of have 20+ more HRs on his resume than anywhere else!! #Reds

@Nati_Sports My sources are tell me Juan Soto to the reds… …my source is my 9yr old though so take that fwiw

I need #Reds trade rumors like I need oxygen. The lack of direction we have right now because of this stupid TV deal is making me insane.

@billmaher Thank you for keeping monologues funny - whatever party you support we can all laugh at ourselves - hope some of your fellow late night hosts take note!

It was so bad on election night that Kamala called McDonald's to see if she could get her old job back.

@KirkHerbstreit So sorry to hear.

This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing. Love you Ben. 🙏🏼

@513Caleb Always enjoy your posts and appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. Please know this is not about the country not being ready for a female president - but about the Democratic Party’s dismissal of the concerns of millions of people - their constituents included.

@EvilJoeyVotto Reds should shock the baseball world - he and Elly are tight!

@redsproblems #sototothereds

now that this is over: if you’re a republican, I don’t care if you’re a democrat, I don’t care if you’re a Cincinnati Reds fan, I love you ❤️

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth. Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did. If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM. The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter. Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media. The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript. As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again. They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference. When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public. The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy. The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people. Honest Abe said it best: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

@bryce_spalding Can we start a go fund me for Soto????

Hope you like skyline chili, Travis.

@KirkHerbstreit Went through the same thing with our first golden - thoughts are with you and the fam!

I’ve had so many people asking me about Ben that I wanted to let you know-Ben had a 2nd chemo injection on October 23rd and from that day has been getting worse and worse. He has lost use of his back legs-almost like they’re paralyzed. He can barely walk. He hasn’t eaten in 3 days. I’m currently in Pennsylvania with a holistic Dr who is administering a 3 day Vitamin C IV hoping it will flush the toxics from his body and give him a chance. The next 24-48 hours will tell us if he has a chance or not. I’m so thankful for ALL the love so many have shown him over the last couple years. One of the hardest things I’ve gone through in my life. Ben is my best friend and companion. I love him with all of my heart. If you’re a spiritual person I’d love for you to pray for my boy. 🙏🏼 He’s currently in an ER hospital overnight and I’m picking him up tomorrow for another round of Vitamin C. Please pray for Ben and hope he pulls out of it.

@RedsDaily4 Thought it was fun - just don’t make it so close next time. I’m glad they didn’t challenge cuz it was close!

Dear Elly, Please don’t do this again. 😅😅 Sincerely, All of us Reds fans #Reds

@MLBTV central Alabama is NOT Atlanta and it’s ridiculous to subject it to tv blackouts for Braves games,

The Cincinnati Reds have a winning record against the Phillies, Dodgers, & Yankees this year. Don’t let this team get into the postseason 🔥🔥🔥

@Nati_Sports You see the white and blue necklace instead of the pink one??? I’m sad…

Dear #Reds fans: Enjoy Elly De La Cruz while you can. Just trust me on this. Every game that you can. Enjoy it.
