#cincinnatireds ROLLER COASTER Season Continues with Bad Loss to #pittsburghpirates
Well, Ellie J. La Cruz tried, but he can’t do it all himself, apparently. I mean, gets on base four times and he gets no help. What’s up? This is Jeff Carr from the Lockdown Reds podcast and the vibes are high. We got #packga gabp and we’ve got all the best vibes you’ve ever heard of in the entire season and hype videos. Doesn’t matter. Ellie de la Cruz homers, two-run homer, two singles, walk. He gets on base four times. The only time he scored was when he scored himself on a home run. The rest of the lineup had nothing. I mean, Spencer Steer walked a couple of times. He scored off that first walk. He was the other part of that two-run home run. Miguel Andrew Hart had a hit. TJ Fredel had a hit and a walk. And everyone else stunk. Horrible night from Matt Mlan. Matt Mlan killed so many rallies tonight, but the double play ball killed so many rallies tonight. Where’s the run game? This was a horrible showing by the Reds to start this Pirate series. They’re playing not to lose. You can tell me all you want about vibes. The performance says otherwise.

McLain was awful in the 6th spot
Can Rece play 2nd??? I mean, seriously… He's killing it down Louisville!
McLain was miserable yet again. Rally after rally killed by him chasing sliders away. OMG! Please put someone else in there that knows what they are doing.
Welp we had a playoff spot for 1 day that was cool I guess š¤·āāļø seasons doneā¦ reds have done it all year they get your hopes up just to crash it all down. Canāt wait to see this awesome offense against skenes tomorrow
If the Reds can't beat a crap team like Pittsburgh, they don't deserve to go any further.
Stumble. 5 hits tonight. š¤¦āāļø We couldnāt hit except for Elly tonight. He came to play. The moment was too big for the rest of the Reds.
Yes Elly did what he could , but the rest of the Reds offense didn't showed up in this game vs Pirates and now the Reds could be in trouble in the NL wildcard race especially if Mets beat the Cubs in their game and then if the D-Backs beat the Dodgers in their game. So the Mets could be back up on the Reds in the NL wildcard race and then the D-Backs could tie them in the standings. Mets-Cubs tied 7-7 bottom of the seventh inning. Then the Dodgers lead D-Backs 1-0 top of the second inning. So somehow need Mets, D-Backs to lose the Reds would stay tied with Mets one game ahead of D-Backs, but they got to win games not lose them. If they don't get in the playoffs as a wildcard they'll look back losing series to under .500 teams like the A's, Braves, Marlins, Nationals, Pirates, & White Sox ugh.
See you got so excited yesterday and now look at you that's why I don't get excited for them because they have let us down all season…
Ask the Bengals about a run game lol
Agreed. Need the running game and Sal Stewart and Tyler Stephenson to get the offense going
I have been saying since the brewers series weeks ago that we wernt making the playoffs if they prove me wrong they do but I donāt have even a slight belief in this team
Why is McLain swinging when Elly is stealing in the 9th. Let Elly get on 2nd and avoid the game ending double play.
The Reds just cannot beat the Pirates and the Brewers. Both have pretty well owned the Reds this season and last season. I hate to say it, but I told you so.
Playing at Home ā¦The Reds being the Reds playing to the level of their opponent & losing to the lowly Pirates once again! Also the Mets gotta Win!š
Typical 2025 Reds team, they sucker you in just to disappoint.
Heās their best player why the hell is he batting fifth
They let us down again I still love them but it is disappointing
They just need a couple good vets to get them over the long season never should got rid of Suarez
We all know how this ends bro. Like we never learn as a reds fan.
THE HITTING COACH OR MORE LIKE THE NON HITTING COACH, NEEDS TO BE FLOGGED! You changed your tune this morning by being so happy with this CRAP loss…. Skenes will own us tonight as usual….Lots of us regulars tried to temper your psycho optimism but this morning you were off the ledge…. come down to earth, please!
Guess what, we won five in a row. You aren't going to go on endlessly. Pittsburgh has some really good pitching.
Why did they not try to run the bases a steal or two could of made a huge difference in the game if you think about it 3 double plays and not 1 steal I donāt understand
Shoulda seen this coming Jeff unfortunately
If this was pre-1994 this team couldnāt even spell āplayoffsā. Fourteen and a half games back and we think they are playoff contenders? You canāt play baseball 3 out of 6 months and expect to make it past September.
Classic case of ātoo little, too lateā.
But weāll get āem next year, right? Right???
This exactly why i wasnt celebrating when they tied for the wild card spot. We have seen this whole year how inconsistent they are. Just gotta look forward to next year and hope to god they make impactful trades/signings
If you'd get a haircut, they'd win.. š
Mets are grateful the Reds are chasing them š
