What a terrible third strike call on Urias.

Looked bad on GameDay. Maybe the ump needs a weeklong rehab stint in AA.

[sveumrules]

Yelich picks up the umpire. Nice.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Holy ****. This is incredible.

[Zad Fnark]

Maybe "Bad Yelich" finally being put to bed.

[Eye Black]

Am I accidently watching a replay of last night's game?

[sveumrules]

Wow, Willy too. Is the second inning too early to pour it on?

[markedman5]

This team is fun again!

[Brock Beauchamp]

So it's maybe possible the good - or at least better - version of Yelich is back. Consecutive elevated rifle shots.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dare I say Christian Yelich is getting pretty hot. Decent series against the Cubs, and scolding the ball against the Reds this week.

[Joseph Zarr]

Yeli, my word. That was a laser. Oh baby. Let's get this man going!

Adamas say, 'Hold my beer.'

[sveumrules]

I'm over here like Oprah...you get a like...& You get a like...& YOU get a like...

[Joseph Zarr]

Yeli 114 mph off the dub? And a 111 mph HR? Keep Greene in the starting rotation please?

[willie key]

im starting to get a nervous feeling in my stomach

 

I cannot let myself fall for Yelich again

 

Yet

[sveumrules]

ROW-DY ROW-DY ROW-DY

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm almost starting to feel bad for the Reds. No one deserves to play for this owner under these circumstances with this record.

Is Rowdy "it" yet?

YES you can! Believe, my friend. He has it in him. It's OK to believe.

Absolutely kicking the living crap out of the Reds pitching

Imagine how fun this summer would be if Yelich is even in the same stratosphere as his MVP-self. 

[Joseph Zarr]

My only sadness is we can't pinch hit a Jon Singleton right now to hit the ball through the stadium.?

Reds fans are cheering against them -- they want them to be so terrible that ownership has to sell. So there's no reason not to cheer for record futility (except Votto).

I have to pull out what Mr. Applegate (the devil) said to Lola in the old musical “Damn Yankees” and have you repeat it 100 times:

”Never Feel Sorry for Anybody”, “Never Feel Sorry for Anybody”…

I feel bad for Votto. He's a delightful human being and is too good for that franchise.
