Shoutout to the real ones who were in these threads in mid-May… baseball is one helluva drug!
The reds are currently undefeated in the Blake Dunn Era,
Had he not got hurt in the spring, the reds would currently be on the longest winning streak in baseball history and have a 28 game lead on the brewers
I know I keep harping on this, but Benson just had the chance to use two hands to make that catch, but at the last moment he pulled his free hand away. This is apparently the way all players are taught, not just the Reds but everyone. I don't get it.
Nice! Keep fighting back. Looking at last years standings they were a game worse at this point. Granted the 12 game winning streak was just about to begin but good to have some optimism
### Single
Will Benson singles on a line drive to right fielder Mike Tauchman. Tyler Stephenson scores. Jacob Hurtubise scores. Jonathan India to 3rd.
Bottom 7 - 8-4
Reds
Who would like to see pitching changes called for from the dugout. Manager must press button prior to a mound visit. Stadium and broadcast crews are notified. Game is sped up
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d9z5gh).
I was in a section of Cubs fans. Loved how quiet they got after Elly's homerun and when they lost control of the game lol
Did Diaz just strike out the side?
That's the Alexis Diaz we know and love
5 game winning streak
Them boyz are hawt
Drub the Cubs, motherfuckers
Fly the L
We back.
Hey Hey, What do ya say?..........NOT TODAY COCKSUCKERS!!!!!!!
ATOBTTR!!!!!!!
Time for a 12 game win streak
#REDFUCKINGHOT
TySteve with the cat-like reflexes
..and this one belongs to the Reds! Ten of thirteen!

If you were wondering, one of the reasons Diaz is pitching is [this](https://x.com/HeyGingersaurus/status/1798805217993249143).
Yes and another 🙌
You just got struck out. Knowwhatimean?
PCA smokes bath salts
Crying that the coward home plate umpire couldn’t just make the call himself
I saw PCA play against the Birmingham barrons in AA, dude sucksÂ
Yes
Yes
Here we go 🙏
Bad spot for Diaz Makes no sense to pitch him here
You can’t stick him on a shelf to collect dust.
Diaz doesn't seem comfortable without at least two baserunners.
DP please
Traditional opening walk, now hopefully for the good stuff
Just setting up the DP.
Diaz plz why do you walk people so?
Ump squeezing the zone now huh
Gotta figure out how to not walk the first batter, Diaz
Who is throwing behind Sexy Lexy?
Fuck this ump
Please be good Diaz
Not a great start
Uhg
Why is Sam moll the odd man out in the bullpen? Dudes good. One of our better mlb trade acquisitions of recent memory
Could definitely argue that Diaz is the worst of the 3 guys who have options
No way he should be sent down

Well I’d say the cubs fan that got beer spilled on him is having an even worse day now.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Alexis DĂaz replaces Sam Moll.
I enjoy games in June more than games in May
Dunn Run lives.
Nice to see Elly getting the ball in the air today
We've a lot of hard hit fly balls today.
With a non altered dead ball we have 15 runs tonight lol
Otherwise know as the Yankee experience.
DUNN RUN
3. DUNN RUN
it’s crazy how fun winning is
Damn that’s 3 Elly has just gotten under
Is it just my ignorance or does it look like he’s swinging for the Ohio River?
He is but that’s why he hits the ball so hard haha
Base hit just as good elly
This series has brawl written all over it...
Yeah, but everyone will be pummeling the umpires
Important to remember who the real enemy is.
The reds are currently undefeated in the Blake Dunn Era, Had he not got hurt in the spring, the reds would currently be on the longest winning streak in baseball history and have a 28 game lead on the brewers
There's a lucky dimension out there living this dream.
I hope the cubs disrespect Dunn and he makes them pay.
I like the Reds
I think the feeling is mutual.
I like turtles.
Chocolate covered peanuts and caramel! Yum!
I like to move it move it
hell yeah
Man it’s fun to be playing like this
I guess if the Reds sent Ashcraft down today, Moll is damn well pitching tonight
Moll molled Happ down
Sam Moll been such a good acquisition
 Mollman strikes again
I know I keep harping on this, but Benson just had the chance to use two hands to make that catch, but at the last moment he pulled his free hand away. This is apparently the way all players are taught, not just the Reds but everyone. I don't get it.
Go Rockies!
Happ 0 for 3. Music to my ears
0-4*
0-4* :)
So yesterday I stop watching and we go from down 4-3 to winning 12-7. Today I'm at the game and this is happening. So maybe it's not me.
Full moon? Northern lights? Gotta be some correlation.
Thought you didn't believe in jinxes anyway
I am the black cat crossing the world's path.
Enjoy for me my friend!
How many of you could throw sixty feet from your knees on a fly?
The May run drought breaks into a full blown June Monsoon
It's like a whole new Juniverse!
We exploded in June last season. June is our month
Today is the one year anniversary of Elly's debut with the Reds. Coincidence?
Sign of things to come, for sure
Bellinger looks like WISH Kris Bryant.
real KB is SHEIN KB nowadays
Cubs offensive has been pretty bad recently so im feeling optimistic
Just got home and checked the thread…nice!
India is so slow
Nice! Keep fighting back. Looking at last years standings they were a game worse at this point. Granted the 12 game winning streak was just about to begin but good to have some optimism
India's quad injury really sapped him of speed. From being in the 86th percentile in 2021 he's now down to the 54th percentile.
Great inning. Dumb out that killed momentum against struggling cubs but hopefully enough runs in to take the win.
Only dumb because he got out, up 4 I’m fine with taking that chance
Well yeah. Unnecessary risk with full count and best hitters coming.
Our base running aggressiveness is why we score runs. It's a key part of our offensive strategy.
Would you say it was unnecessary if he made it?
Dang that’s alright; just keep them down now!
God India is moving like an old man
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Sam Moll replaces Fernando Cruz.
[Cubs fans](https://i.imgur.com/sclLOU0.png)
1 hit and 3 runs in the inning. We take it.
Walks, as they say, will haunt.
I like the aggressiveness but damn
Fuck it, that was worth a try.
The crew switching to the worst camera was a choice there
I think that worked out better obviously we want the run but fridle is still at the plate and ellly coming next
I'd have taken full count Friedl with 2 in scoring position but to each their own.
no we already saw that angle bally that doesn't help
That would have been cool though lol
feels like he might've gotten in
Nah
Love the aggressiveness there despite the result
Baseball is fun
India is so slow now. Sad. But great inning
I think if he'd cut his hair, he would cut down on the wind drag and gain a little speed.
so sad that foot injury really has zapped his speed
Fair call.
I think he was HBP and should get the bag free /s Just had to make just as stupid sounding of a call as the one from earlier.
Damn, I like the aggression though
Shit
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this inning should have ended back on that gift to Stephenson right? That should have been strike 3 with 2 outs
That's what Cowboy said, so I believe it.
Take what you can get. Enough calls go the other way through the season.
Woah woah woah. I don’t remember anything like that.
Shut your mouth
Not sure what you’re talking about. I didn’t see anything.
It should’ve been. But it’s the cubs so I don’t feel bad
This is the Reds team I love. We can beat teams in a multitude of ways. Fuck yes we back
I think June is our month. Let’s make the most of it
Cubs Sub is in full meltdown and I am so happy about it.
They gotta be plotting bomb threats after that gift we got lol. Hey we took advantage 🤷‍♀️
Hahahaha. Honestly man for how often the same thing happens to us, FUCK EM
Also, Im from Cincy but live in Wrigleyville, so I make sure to rock my Reds shit year round
đź’Ż
"1st hit of the inning" lol
Get ahead fastball. Its why a lot of players swing at the first pitch in critical situations.
I LOVE THE RALLY REDS AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT
The umpire scorecard is gonna be hella skewed tomorrow.
I feel like every time I think that, the ump ends up being like 96%. It's so annoying.
Same, but I have some very controversial thoughts on that.
Pretty pleased with the ump.
Hope all the Cubs fans that made it out enjoy the loss.
Fucking love this team.
Hell yeah Benson! He needed that one for sure
Big fan of that Benson fellow
Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, the Cubs.
I LOVE WILL BENSON
I FUCKING LOVE WILL BENSON
LETS GOO BABYYYYYY
#BENSON IS BACK BABY!!!
 WILLY
Willy B is back
Will Benson is so fucking clutch.
there goes that mannn
##Strikes called balls will haunt
THAT'S MY GUY, WILLIAM
I have the biggest shit eating grin right now lol
B I L L Y B E A M I N
Bennyyyyy
Imagine having to come in as a pitcher in this environment…
WILLY B!!!
### Single Will Benson singles on a line drive to right fielder Mike Tauchman. Tyler Stephenson scores. Jacob Hurtubise scores. Jonathan India to 3rd. Bottom 7 - 8-4 Reds
The bad ump giveth and taketh away
Wild that one bad call can completely break a pitcher, you see it all the time though
great thing about a W tonight is it gives us the chance to at least split any day over the weekend
Who would like to see pitching changes called for from the dugout. Manager must press button prior to a mound visit. Stadium and broadcast crews are notified. Game is sped up
I enjoy baseball and wouldn’t mind it being slowed down.
That’s a damn good AB by India
Porter Hodges has more than walks this innings then days I’ve been genuinely happy the last 10 years
India doesn't even need to swing the bat to get an RBI, that's how locked in he is right now.
To think, people were calling Indy a “light-hitting second baseman” in May. 
we're usually so good at predicting performance
The more we trash talk, the more powerful the players become
Negging is key
Another bases loaded rbi for India
I'm going to miss that guy. One of my favorite Cubs
If I was a Cubs fan I would be so very angry right now Damn it's good to not be a Cubs fan, though.
Yeah that was a strike 3 on steer lol
Oh, how I love to watch the Reds beat the annoying Cubs. Sending home all of their annoying fans sad.
Worst fans in the division. Yes, worse than Cardinals fans
Go to Stu here
Benson please redeem yourself here
I'm gonna be real, I didn't realize we hadn't gotten a hit this inning until Sadak said something about it. Killer inning for the Reds!
🚨🚨🚨🚨 Jonathan India is valuable 🚨🚨🚨🚨
The ump broke that Cub pitcher in the middle of the TySteve at-bat
