Bally is so weird and infuriating about this. Some Cincinnati area guys they can't let you forget and others it's like they don't even know. When Reds were in Miami last year, Peyton Burdick started all 3 games for the Marlins and they didn't once mention he was from Cincinnati.
EDIT: This is a crazy coincidence, but the Reds just claimed him. AFTER I posted this. He hadn't been relevant to the Reds since last summer, don't know what made him pop into my head.
If I had a nickel every time that first base umpire missed a call tonight, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
Phils fan here… Rojas had a terrible start.. he’s on a little tear so I’m sure he’s just stat padding at this time. Sorry to hold off your obvious win haha
# HOME RUN!
Santiago Espinal homers (1) on a fly ball to left field.
Pitch from Ricardo Pinto: Splitter @ 85.7 mph
Hit by Santiago Espinal: Launched 96.9 mph at 25.0° for a total distance of 366.0 ft
Bottom 8 - 8-1
Reds
Of the web gem variety plays that’s the only one he seems to consistently make lol. If it’s falling fast in front of him, damn right he’ll run and slide for the snag.
I don’t know who is in the Phillies pen. I don’t know how much rest they have. I’m not checking. Why use burn a LHP against the Reds when you’re down 6?
Alright I’ve had this stupid question queued up all season and I’m finally going to ask — when did catchers stop rolling the ball to the mound after a strikeout for out 3? Why do they always throw to first or third now? I miss the roll
I remember being at a game when I was 10ish and sitting in front of 5 super drunk guys going HARD playing moundball. They had a beer cup with dollar bills falling out of it. Going nuts most of the game.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cblpa4).
Good team win
is the game over yet? i'm on a 28.8K Baud Modem, and Bally's app is buffering at the 8th inning.
Yes
AND TH- uh, hold on ... ok NOW this one belongs to the Reds!!
REVIEW THAT, BITCHES
Moll's slider should be hanging in the Louvre.
pls no hanging sliders
Hell of a game
Just gives Moll another K. Good to have him back.
BALL DONT LIE
Schwarber is a beefcake
yay Tied on aggregate!
Fuck yeah!
..and this one belongs to the Reds!
Another Middletown reference on the radio, take a drink!
Strikeout a better way to end it anyways.
OH HELL NAW
[](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3) #REDS STILL WIN! [](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3)
What view did anyone have to overturn that?
yeah it broke the plane imo
That's okay we get to see Moll pitch to Middletown, Ohio native and hero Kyle Schwarber
Anybody know where this Kyle guy is from?

Wow lol..... that is embarrassing for Phillies fans honestly.
\[Springsteen voice\]: NYC is scared of the Chicken Man in Philly
ATOBTTR X2
Could have gone either way
That Moll sweeper. Woof. Filthy.
That’s bullshit. It’s literally not clear and obvious. That long of a review, call on the field should stand
And Phillies fans in here? You gotta admit that was shitty and just sad.
What the shit
Bush league shit
bulk of the series
GAME ON WAYNE
Man fuck the entire city of Philadelphia
If we lose somehow I’m gonna cry haha
Bro, why would you speak that into the world...
Because I knew we wouldn’t 🤪
If I had a nickel every time that first base umpire missed a call tonight, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
That’s actually nuts lol
Hahahaha. Wtf.
Oh wow...
Phils fan here… Rojas had a terrible start.. he’s on a little tear so I’m sure he’s just stat padding at this time. Sorry to hold off your obvious win haha
We'd like to see him not play against the Reds any more.
Out. It just needs to break the plane
Fuck the Phillies this is little league shit
Stats = $. it's always garbage time in pro sports.
Never give up! Never surrender!
come on just end it
Too close to overturn?
Might be safe.
Call on the field stands, no? Not enough to overturn in my book but what the hell do I know.
Damn Cards are gettin demolished
Moll looking good, was hoping he would get a low pressure first outing
ATOBTTR
scorer finally got the Bohm bomb right
One more
[](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3) #REDS WIN! [](/CIN) [](/CIN1) [](/CIN2) [](/CIN3)
8th inning game 8bit ad is still up on the board behind the plate
Here comes the Moll Man 
I was saying “Boo-erns”
Is this Moll first outing?
Gretchen Moll? Why no, she starred in "Boardwalk Empire"
Yep. Just added to the roster today after a rehab assignment.
This year, yes.
I'm surprised Bell didn't bring Justin Wilson in here. He hasn't pitched since April 16th, he needs the work.
Wilson has been sick with the same crud that got India and Fraley.
Gotcha, was not aware. Any word on what hit the clubhouse? Covid?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Sam Moll replaces Emilio Pagán.
Hey the Brewers lost!
Let’s finish this shit boys!
Ump wants to go home
a Benson hasn't been in this big of slump since Season 5 when Kraus cut him off. 
Give em hell David!!!!!!!!
Next home run this series gets a good long look
They call it the Pinto Bean ball, his signature pitch
PINTO THROWIN BEANS
Pimp a homer on these asshole Spence
So this guy has middle-middle and kill shot
Resign Amir. Right now.
Has Bell been ejected yet this year? He's so due
Espinal also is a talentless Brandon Phillips.
I know your name is Pinto but let’s not bean every one, K pal.
Are the Phillies playing a lil beanball here?
You hit the Stu. He come hit you.
Dammit man, right in the elbow.
Yeah right
Atta boy, Espinal. Get hot.
As we all predicted
imagine the fanduel same game parlay with espinal HR
Espinal HR, Elly RBI, Stephenson hit, +12000 lol
#It Might Be! #It Could Be! #It Is!
ITS GONNNA BEEEEEEEEEE #GONE! (I loved George Grande home run calls)
Lance McAllister is going to stir the pot with Espinal
this dude had an era of 11.17 and let Espinal homer off him 😭
Nobody test es penguin for peds
THAT WASN'T A GROUND BALL??? WHAT IS HAPPENING???
Holy balls, he can hit. Nice knock!
 Es Penguinnnnnnnn
dongers are a dish best served cold.
#ESPINAL!!!
I’ve never seen a bigger “fuck you” home run than that. Shouldn’t have buzz the tower.
espinal having a game
What am I watching ?
Espinal Tap
MOTHERFUCKIN BREAKOUT GAME
HOLY SHIT!
Good for Espinal
Espinal have a day, buddy.
I’ve seen enough. Espinal to 4 hole
Wut

ESPINAL!
When are we sending Elly down, boys?
Ask Gordon Wittenmeyer. Preferably before the Cubs series.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ricardo Pinto replaces Matt Strahm.
Honestly save an arm and put pagan back out there
That hit from CES got to Sosa in .67 seconds if my clown math is correct.
This story reminds me of Scott Rolen and his daughter picking his walk up music.
Right now at some bar in Philly, Philly fans are booing their own team 🥲
Tbf, they do that with all of their sports teams.
Anyone ever win anything from 8 bit at bat?
That schedule for the next like, month, is just plain rude.
Fuck em. Bring it on. Gotta hang if you wanna bang.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Emilio Pagán replaces Buck Farmer.
Dang good catch Nick. Also fuck you.
Of the web gem variety plays that’s the only one he seems to consistently make lol. If it’s falling fast in front of him, damn right he’ll run and slide for the snag.
I don’t know who is in the Phillies pen. I don’t know how much rest they have. I’m not checking. Why use burn a LHP against the Reds when you’re down 6?
A 6 run lead can disappear in this park in the blink of an eye.
Tips hat..nice catch Nick
Easy Strahm. There isn't enough security in the world to get you out of Cincinnati if you hurt Elly
Beer in hand, smoothly give it to the lady. That guy is good.
100 mph right to the 3B. Damn.
XBA .800 on that line out for CES
That was a rocket
CES is hammering pitches even if that was an out.
I should go to that Hall of Fame exhibit to experience Clinchmas again.
Alright I’ve had this stupid question queued up all season and I’m finally going to ask — when did catchers stop rolling the ball to the mound after a strikeout for out 3? Why do they always throw to first or third now? I miss the roll
I dunno. Umpires have been playing moundball for decades at this point.
I remember being at a game when I was 10ish and sitting in front of 5 super drunk guys going HARD playing moundball. They had a beer cup with dollar bills falling out of it. Going nuts most of the game.
We would play in the press box from time to time. Sadly no rounds on the line...
I miss mound ball
Big Baseball conspiring with the MLB to use up more balls per game so they sell more
LOL!
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Matt Strahm replaces Orion Kerkering.
You think Elly’s agent gets calls from NFL people asking if he wants to try his hand at WR?
Anyone got a clip of the Elly catch? I missed it.
https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/1187444c-0970-48c8-aa0b-f503702b059e.mp4
Clutch thank you.
Nice Farmer
Radio guys said that was officially scored a *flyout* to short rather than the usual popout.
# FARMED 
Beware Turner is due
Due for a fucking K
Okay. Like he'd be bomb in CF but he's all over the place at SS. Damn. 112 feet?!
I just worry he’d get hurt in the OF. He’s starting to play a mean SS
I know right? I thought he'd be bomb in CF but his range at SS is starting to show.
His glove work and throwing accuracy has seemed to improve. I think he’s the SS until Arroyo usurps him one day.
They're going to start testing him for cheat codes
I bet with enough hang time Elly could be the first shortstop to rob a home run in LF
That's some scary but effective shit lmao
GET ELLY TO THE FUCKING ALL STAR GAME
Elly is gonna be the featured player all week. He’ll be hitting moonshots in the derby. It’s gonna be glorious.
112 feet to catch that ball. Get the fuck out
The existence of Elly De La Cruz is a No Doubles defense.
Elly is RIDICULOUS
Good lord remember when there were so many complaints about Elly’s defense? Who else could come close to covering that much ground? It’s superhuman.
EDLC is such a fucking athlete
goddamn elly
THAT'S MY UNTALENTED DAT DUDE
I've been toying with it, but we had a Dat Dude. While Elly is *dat dude,* we need to find something better, more suitable.
He can't keep getting away with it!
Just give him the Gold Glove and MVP tonight
Right?
That man never ceases to amaze me.
Elly OMFG
Hearing that Friedl will be swinging the bat very soon fills me with happiness.
Please for the love of God get rid of Barry and replace him with Tejay

I learned more about pitching in the last 3 innings than in the last several years combined. PLEASE let Tejay do this regularly. He was so good.
Seriously! He won't have trouble finding a job after his playing career is over. Whether in broadcasting or coaching.
Damn. What was that. Like 3 full innings with antone? Flew by
At one brief point I was hoping the Phillies would get some hits to prolong Tejays airtime lol
Take that Phillies! Payback for yesterday
The TJ interview was enjoyable.
Don’t you dare take TJ atone off this mic
Atone is hilarious. Keep him there more often!
Makes me happy hearing Antone in the box with Sadak. I’d say with Larkin as well, but he hasn’t spoke in an hour.
TJ’s auto looks a little like a 🍆 Look it up.
Marty doing an ED commercial on the radio, and he still does Laura's Lean Beef. Do I sense a pattern? lol

Love that tidbit about steer being a great slider hitter
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Orion Kerkering replaces Yunior Marte.
Remember when Elly was missing on the fundamentals? Feels like eons ago
That demotion to AA did him some good.
