Prepare like a man, play like a boy.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3 for 31 3 singles 1 R 0 RBI .097 BA .152 OBP .097 SLG .249 OPS #Reds

Ke’Bryan Hayes is 6 for his last 74 going back to Sep 13th of last year. That’s an .081 batting average and he has 0 extra base hits across those 28 games. #Reds

Love Elly Sal and Geno not getting another shot.

Posting a classic college football game every day until football season. 2021 - Cincinnati vs Notre Dame

Yeah Loan Depot kept that 380ft fly ball short of the CF warning track in the park.

@CYYB24 @CBoxSports Sorry rook.

@CYYB24 @CBoxSports DFA CES for his 40 man spot 😉

Sal Stewart has two more doubles tonight and now sports a 1.032 OPS in AAA.

@wjeffpetty @Coach_ChrisV It was always a thing. You just played little league.

Excuse my ignorance on this. What year did we start letting 9 year olds take leads & steal bases? When we were 12 foot had to be on the base. Stealing at 9 years old & taking leads might be the dumbest thing to date I have seen on a baseball field at any level.

Fighting what the people already voted for, that brings in state revenue, while also saying we can’t afford to remove property taxes.

@bryce_spalding Reds strategy seems to be not challenging unless K or BB result.

Why does Trevino not challenge these pitches???

Hayes sitting for the second time is a good sign that he’s not solidly in the lineup.

Might wanna change the slider grip. I know it’s deadly, but running out of options.

@JayRBP Not hot or humid at all down here tonight. I’m here lol

In hindsight, sending the guy who has blisters that are reportedly worse in heat and caused by his moist hands, to the most hot and humid place in the country was probably a dumb move

@MichaelBruesh @RedsFan_Brandon Was looking at hand. Only threw 40 pitches and no one was loose to come in.

@RedsFan_Brandon Sheesh as in wow that’s good or sheesh as in he’s hurt again?

Nick Lodolo retired the first eight batters and then was pulled with a 1-2 count on the 9th hitter. Sheesh. #Reds

Lodolo just left at 40 pitches. Looking at hand.

Every other team locks up their young studs.

The Kelce brothers accidentally explained one of the longest-running training mistakes in professional sports in under 30 seconds. A pitcher's delivery takes 1.5 seconds. The rest period before the next pitch is roughly 20 seconds. A starter who throws 100 pitches in a game produces somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes of total physical exertion across a 3-hour window. The work-to-rest ratio is approximately 1:20. That ratio maps almost perfectly to the ATP-CP energy system, the anaerobic pathway that powers movements lasting under 10 seconds. Sprinting. Jumping. Swinging a bat. Throwing a 97 mph fastball. Every meaningful action in baseball lives in this system. Distance running trains the opposite system. Aerobic metabolism. Slow-twitch muscle fibers. Type I fibers that are smaller, produce less force, and prioritize fatigue resistance over power output. Elite sprinters carry 60-80% fast-twitch fibers. Elite endurance athletes carry 60-95% slow-twitch. A 2008 study on collegiate baseball players found that combining endurance training with power training produced measurable drops in power output. You are literally remodeling the engine in the wrong direction. Training the aerobic system when every sport-specific action runs on anaerobic fuel. The tradition started decades ago because games last 3 hours and coaches confused game duration with physical demand. A game lasting 3 hours does not mean the athlete is exerting for 3 hours. A pitcher standing on the mound between pitches is recovering, not working. The correct training analog is a sprinter who runs 100 meters, walks back, and goes again. Driveline Baseball, Eric Cressey, and every major sports science program has been publishing this data for over a decade. Strength coaches at the MLB level largely moved to sprint-based and med ball protocols years ago. But the foul-pole-to-foul-pole jog still persists at the high school and college level because the coaches who played in the 90s trained that way and never updated. The Kelces just explained it to 3 million people faster than any journal ever could.

100% agreement on poles. Absolutely useless for baseball. Actually for youth through HS I argue it’s actually hurting your players. These kids that struggle to gain weight don’t need to be running distance and losing weight.

@jgent15 Correct. If those are my options though.

@BryanSchmidt22 neither is a great option

Idk how Friedl didn’t go to right

Our RF on the bench. Guy in right can play third. And the worst hitter in baseball takes another ab while losing.
