Bob Castellini interrupted Tito’s press conference tonight and had this to say.

“There is a winner and a leader (pointing to Francona). And we’ve got a team that has leaders and winners.”

Wow.

@LanceMcAlister have you ever seen anything like this for a professional baseball team????

Why you'd take that 99mph heater.

For whatever reason, too many fans seem to focus on what Elly De La Cruz isn’t, and miss what he is becoming.

They focus on his future, more than his present.

He’s 24-years old. He’s in his 3rd full MLB season. He’s played fewer than 450 MLB games.

Right now, he’s hitting .281-.361-.563-.924 with an OPS+ of 152. He’s on pace for 30 doubles, 51 homers, 132 runs, 101 RBI, 50 stolen bases, 81 walks. That would produce the second 50/50 season in MLB history, joining Shohei Ohtani.

He’s scored a run in 12 of their 16 games, collected a hit in 13 of those games, and been on base in 13 straight games.

For as much as fans complain about injuries, and players not playing with injuries, Elly's played 234 consecutive games for the Reds. That's the 5th longest streak by a Red since 1970.

He’s improving as a right-handed hitter, facing left-handed pitching.
2023 .184 w/ 2 HR in 122 PA
2024 .224 w/ 6 HR in 217 PA
2025 .236 w/ 5 HR in 210 PA
2026 .318 w/ 4 HR in 33 PA

He’s yet to commit an error this season. I get it, official scoring isn’t what it once was. But then turn to the metrics. He’s T-3rd in Outs Above Average at +2. Last season he was T-26th (-3). He’s T-6th in defensive runs saved (+1) , after -5 in 2025.

He’s getting better. He answers the bell to play every day. He’s impacting the game at the plate, in the field and on the bases.

Stop worrying about his strike outs. He’s going to strike out. Everyone strikes out.

Stop worrying about moving him to center field. He’s a shortstop. I offer this to every ‘move Elly' conversation: Perspective.
Dave Concepcion: 30 errors age 26, 27 errors age 28 and 31.
Barry Larkin: 29 errors age 24
Derek Jeter: 56 errors age 19 and 29 errors age 21
Robin Yount: 44 errors age 19, 30 errors age 22
Omar Vizquel: 25 errors age 20 and age 21
Ozzie Smith: 25 errors age 23, 22 errors age 33
Alan Trammell: 26 errors age 21
Cal Ripken: 25-25-26 errors, age 22-23-24

Young shortstops take time to learn, develop and settle into the shortstop position.

And finally, stop worrying about him being a Dodger or a Yankee. He won’t even reach free agency until 2030. It’s 2026, for goodness sakes.

Enjoy him. Appreciate him. He’s the best player on the #Reds. He’s one of the best players in the game.

Eric Davis was once the best baseball player walking this planet. Whether it was for a year, a month, two weeks, or a Tuesday afternoon in May of 1987, I was there and I testify it sure as fuck happened.

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Joey Votto’s legendary eye on full display. 🤣

1st AB: 3–1 pitch he thought was a ball, gets called a strike. K.

2nd AB: same spot, this time it’s a ball.

Votto makes his point by Grabbing his Nuts. 🥜🥜

Great movie

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

This movie is Robert De Niro's directorial debut.

Robert De Niro, usually a ruthless gangster in movies, this time portrays an everyday man trying to protect his son from the influence of the mob in A Bronx Tale (1993)

🚨🏌️⛳️ #DISCUSSION — What’s something you say multiple times per round when playing golf?

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

It is incredibly odd that some will continue to look at this situation, and year after year believe it's the manager. That it's his batting order. Or his pitching changes.
Or it's the hitting coach.
I honestly just shake my head.

[Mike Fulton @Fulton14Mike]

@LanceMcAlister Any update on when it will resume?
