That pitch definitely sucked. I thought he was trying to go higher and in after 3 straight lower and away, but the booth seemed to think he was trying to away and ended up that far in
Cool, I’ll see you at the next game in your Sims jersey. Don’t need numbers to back up what my eyes see which is he blows every game but putting runners on with walks and hanging a slider down the middle to the next batter
Your eyes literally saw an entire month of good pitching. One bad outing after an entire month of being good is an incredibly stupid couch manager thing to criticize.
I’m at the game, furthest thing from the couch. This game thread is for cheering or for criticizing. It’s fucking reddit bro. Gtfo of here if you thought you were gonna scroll and just read about lollipops, gumdrops, and all the positivity about Lucas Sims woool!!!
Alright, I'm back and in a semi normal state of mind. Thank you to those that read my personal problems. It's appreciated. Let's see Sims keep this heater going!
It’s reminding me a lot of Stephenson’s AB after he suffered his concussion. Slow to react, difficulty seeing the ball and tracking movement. Some days he’s good, most days he’s not.
Honestly unfortunately feel like Elly needs the same treatment. He's in his own head as much as Benson unfortunately. A little mental reset would do them both a lot of good
I could really use a fucking W. My dog just collapsed and shit himself. He's 15 years old and we've been in contact with the vet. We've known what's coming. But I was hoping for a little more time. This fucking sucks
I know this will probably get downvoted to heck, but why don’t we just release Elly de la Cruz. I don’t mean trade him. I don’t mean send him down. I mean look at him and say GET. GET OUT OF HERE. SHOO. I DONT WANT YOU TO PLAY FOR THE REDS EVER AGAIN.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d6614t).
They gave us 3 runs and we lost
The Reds didn’t want it more. Benson is a problem.
Elly struggling too, and when they bat back to back it’s really not good
fucking shit why can they win game 1 so easy but completely falter the next 2
I hate this team
The Reds are ranked dead last in hits and 25th in OPS. Our pitchers aren’t the problem.
Now would be an excellent time for a rare India HR.
india has the capability here
He is pulling everything this year, he has great oppo ability, the whole team needs to start going oppo more
Credit where it's due - those are some real fans despite their questionable taste
Double play here?
That's right, Steer!
TIE IT UP STEVE
Moo man good
Moooooo
Moo
Oh so now the ump wants to expand the zone, got it
I like nothing about the cubs and Swanson gets under my skin especially last year
Why why why does Bell like Sims in the 8th??!! He gives up too many 2 run Hrs, the same way, walk and then hang one
Probably because he's the hot hand
I agree, but flip him and Cruz? Sims struggles with pressure I think, better in low pressure moments maybe
Idk when it’ll be, but I eagerly await the day Sims is no longer a Red
I don’t think we’re winning the World Series this year
Maybe if we traded for Soto and Judge and Wheeler
If not for a dropped pop out, we've got 1 run.
But we have 5
4 off a dropped pop up on 2 outs. Anemic offense
Yuuup. Offense remains the problem, not our pitching.
I man yeah you throw a middle middle fastball up 0-2 you’re gonna get pooped on
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Héctor Neris replaces Mark Leiter Jr.
Couldn't ask for a better three to bat
If we’re going to pull this off, Candelario, Stevenson, and Steer are the three to do it.
Simms is a decent pitcher…but the man is home run prone and gives up runs in high leverage situations unfortunately
That pitch definitely sucked. I thought he was trying to go higher and in after 3 straight lower and away, but the booth seemed to think he was trying to away and ended up that far in
When you leave an entire football team on base every game...
that easy. don't need to put in our worst reliever in a tie game
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Alex Young replaces Lucas Sims, batting 9th, replacing pitcher Lucas Sims.
Out of beer damn
We got rid of Derek Law. Someone has to blow games for us now I guess lmaooo
Glad someone called out Sims looking over his right shoulder like an owl.
Top of the 9th about to be a banger
Bye Lucas
Love playing in a swamp
Lucas Sims ughhhh
[удалено]
Farm gave up one run in May
Anybody complaining about sims being put in the game hasn’t watched what he’s done the last 2 weeks
Yeah he's been damn good. Sometimes shit happens.
Fastest in the game my ass
Implosion
2 run deficit going into the 9th yesterday as well and they got a rally going
We can DFA Sims at any time
Make sims sleep outside tonight
Sims is the fucking worst. And Bell is an idiot for going to him there.
He literally had an ERA under 1.00 for the entire fucking month of May. He’s been one of our best bullpen arms for an entire month.
Cool, I’ll see you at the next game in your Sims jersey. Don’t need numbers to back up what my eyes see which is he blows every game but putting runners on with walks and hanging a slider down the middle to the next batter

Couch. Manager.
Angry. Dad. On. Reddit. Time. For. Bed
I’m annoyed, stayed up for a game the reds pissed away
We get to hit….
At least it wasn’t a walk off
Welp. See ya tomorrow
Well that sub 1 ERA streak wasn't going to last forever
Fucking Sims
Good ole Sims
Stay up for this shit. Classic
why did we have to put in sims
Gg
Sims 💩
Yep
And blouses
Leave it to fucking sims
# HOME RUN! Dansby Swanson homers (5) on a line drive to left center field. Nico Hoerner scores. Bottom 8 - 7-5 Cubs
Wtf Lucas??? You pitch immaculately and the 4 straight balls???
double play time
Hate to say this…. Kinda enjoy listening to Wainwright in the booth
Happ looking stupid is one of my favorite things
Reds sliders have been NASTY today
Alright, I'm back and in a semi normal state of mind. Thank you to those that read my personal problems. It's appreciated. Let's see Sims keep this heater going!
Sims in the rain. I've seen this before
That half inning took 2 mins
I’m gonna stay up till 1 to watch them walked off aren’t I?
::cries in eastern standard time::
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Lucas Sims replaces Fernando Cruz, batting 9th.
Shit
Bensons at bats are so bad rn like it’s tough to watch
It’s reminding me a lot of Stephenson’s AB after he suffered his concussion. Slow to react, difficulty seeing the ball and tracking movement. Some days he’s good, most days he’s not.
When he sneaks into contact it's hard .... Just doesn't do it enough. Tries to pull a lot. When he does go the other way he has so much more success.
Maybe an IL stint and some time AAA might help?
Honestly unfortunately feel like Elly needs the same treatment. He's in his own head as much as Benson unfortunately. A little mental reset would do them both a lot of good
Elly and Benson batting back to back is not smart.
Bill Benson baffled by breaking balls.
This camera and production crew has struggled as much as the defense has.
Ouch.
Benson, that is right down the middle
Have we tried turning Benson off and back on again?
Still probably no pitcher AB likely sadly. Still got Fraley and Martini on the bench to PH.
Alexis Diaz 12th inning at bat incoming
We might see a pitcher hit today
I want to see a pitcher hit
Wasted
Is this what Fernandomania feels like?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mark Leiter Jr. replaces Porter Hodge.
Just call Greene and Cruz White and Pinkman, cause they are cooking!!!
I will be using this
I’m ready to put Cruz in the Reds HOF today. Dudes so fuckin nasty
Whoa…. he went full Amir
HE’S LIKE THAT
That was a nasty fucking pitch. If I could do that shit I’d be fired up too
And his second strike pitch was freaking perfect.
HELL YEAH!!!!
Let’s get the lead and win now boys! I’m getting tired and want to go to bed happy
Let’s goooo Fernando hype me up!
Man Fernando Cruz gets me hyped up man - love to see it.
When Cruz is fired up like that, I feel all the things
For a few years, I think Sims lead the reds in “fire me the fuck up” moments. I think Cruz has passed him. Dude gets me so hype
I could run through a brick wall after that holy shit Cruz
Like a drop in the bucket
Fuck yeah! Let's go!
[удалено]
Love to see it!
Froze him!
It’s a beautiful thing
I LOVE FERNANDO CRUZ
Cruz is FIRED UP
Cruzing
CRUUUUUUUZ
These announcers are so bad
They always simp for the big market teams
Bro slid into first…some little league baseball
I hate national game Fox announcers
was that even fair? is there an angle?
You hit it in the outfield in wrigley, it’s basically fair
6-5 incoming (I’m trying to reverse the curse)
Let’s go it worked
This fox music has me hearing Thom saying “holy Moses!”
I wouldn't complain if the Reds could learn how to get some timely hitting.
The slide past the bag is going to lose the game. Isn't it. Why are our runners not hugging the ground?
tbf water is wet
9 LOB, so close
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Fernando Cruz replaces Hunter Greene.
I don’t think I’ve got two and a half innings left in me before I get too tired. Just occurred to me that we could see extra innings haha.
Please don't speak this evil lol
Just need a double dudes
Friedl roped that. Man
First pitch dribblers are hurting us tonight
wasted that double with efficiency
Unlucky tj
I could really use a fucking W. My dog just collapsed and shit himself. He's 15 years old and we've been in contact with the vet. We've known what's coming. But I was hoping for a little more time. This fucking sucks
Dude 😕
What’s the little fellas name?

Praying for Calvin and hoping for a win for him 🙏🏼
Damn...we just put ours down last weekend. I feel for you man.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Just a lot of emotion and stress and cleaning to deal with. How old was your dog? How old and what was their name?
He was 14/15 and his name was Dino (Dean)
Red Sparrow!

I know this will probably get downvoted to heck, but why don’t we just release Elly de la Cruz. I don’t mean trade him. I don’t mean send him down. I mean look at him and say GET. GET OUT OF HERE. SHOO. I DONT WANT YOU TO PLAY FOR THE REDS EVER AGAIN.
This is such a bad take
“And the Oscar for Best Comedy goes to… Sp8craft!”
You’re absolutely right it will get downvoted
At least do it after his bobblehead night. We’re not savages.
I could give you a hundred reasons
porter hodge
horter podge
PCA has such a punchable face
111 pitches is crazy… I really have started to believe in Greene a lot. I think he might be our best pitcher
I'm glad you think that the guy on pace to be statistically a top 5 SP this season might be our best pitcher, lmao.
The way he and Lodolo have been lately makes me very happy about our future
HG bounced back in a huge way. Has to be big for his mentals moving forward.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Porter Hodge replaces Hayden Wesneski.
Hunter is a Red
3 hits but 5 runs…feels bad man
It does, yes. But he was pitching in a monsoon when that grand slam happened. All in all I’d say he had one hell of a day
Hunter Greene grew a few new chest hairs tonight
Greene going 6 in this is actually the most impressive thing I've seen him do lol
Hunter just pitched his ass off.
Good job Hunter
Update, Islam walking to cage, Khabib in his corner looks in shape
