3 straight, I’m afraid to start believing
Pitching was excellent tonight. Good win
Suter for Reds HOF
Me three days ago: The season is over.
Me today: We’re back baby! (Powered by Espinal, Benson, and Hinds, of all people)
Hot take: winning >>> losing.
I’m not sure there’s a single thing I didn’t like about that game.
Let’s win again tomorrow
I’m ready to be hurt again.

#WE DID IT!!!
Will Benson’s bounce back is so satisfying to watch

I’m not going to say their recent success is all due to Willie B, but their recent success is probably all due to Willie B.
Does anyone know anyone that is like a Randy Quaid from Major League type of fan? Like, they are a “fan”, but almost seemingly root against the team, just so they can be negative, and say “same old Red’s”?
I don’t understand this mentality, but it is most of my Red’s fan friends, and it pisses me off 🤷♂️
It’s a wonderful thing to see a bullpen game full of so many dudes with a sub 2 ERA. The staff is looking legit.
