    Went to his debut vs the Dodgers. You could feel it in the air. The hope, energy, and excitement he brings makes you not want to miss a second. It’s contagious to his teammates and to the fans. The reds are so young and talented that it’s almost like they don’t know any better. They go out every night and bring max effort like it’s their last. Votto is the perfect vet for them too. If the young pitchers stay healthy and figure it out this is a team you don’t wanna play in the playoffs.

    Cruz is a great prospect with tons of potential but he’s no Elly De La Cruz. This kids legit, he’s Tatis but a switch hitter. Might be the best switch hitter we’ve seen since Chipper or Beltran, Votto himself compared him to Mantle.

    8:20 I'm an uber driver in Cincinnati and I have to say about that: The braves had nothing to do with it. I was stuck in stadium traffic driving that weekend and I saw mayber two braves jerseys. Saw more yankees and red sox jerseys than I did Braves jerseys. People turned up in force to see these young reds play. A lot of reds fans hate ownership and refuse to go watch the bullshit minor league teams they put out there every year, but this time the kids are alright and when the reds are winning they're the biggest draw in town .

    MLB needs a skill competition.
