7-1 was good but the 5 blown saves is a goocher. Needed the lefty in the bullpen though so it seems to be shaping up if someone appears out of nowhere that can actually freaking hit!

I don't care if they got back a left handed reliver that doesn't actually have a left hand.
They got rid of Gavin "I'm useless as fuck so you owe me 5.5MM" Lux.
I just couldn't do a full year of knowing he was on the roster.

Whenever I see this thread pop up, I’m expecting to see that De La Cruz has entered the transfer portal.

85% of the WAR for Votto in 2/3rds as many PAs. Elly has more speed and is flashier, but give me Votto in every other category. Better hitter by far. Defensive WAR might favor EDLC, but I’ll take a more reliable defender over a flashier defender. Way too many terrible plays in the field by Elly.

I disagree. Love Joey Votto, he's a HOF Red as far as I'm concerned but the reason why I lean to Elly is that his stats account for actual Runs and Joeys, while they might have accounted for a lot of runs, are just stats. Elly does "fuck up" more than Votto ever did but he can do things Votto could not. The biggest thing that always bothered me was Votto got a ton of his home runs and big games when we didnt have any runners on and when we were getting destroyed so the stats did us no good. Now that may just be how I'm remembering it and I could be wrong of course I've had more head trauma than I needed to have for sure. But Elly takes over games and wins them all by himself sometimes. I still say to bring Votto in as a hitting coach and fix some of these young athletes by changing their approach to hitting. Just don't have him work on their mental games because, well, Gizmo.
Give me both of them on a team and lets go win a fucking championship in Cincinnati!
Edit: Also drunk posting about the Reds is usually a mistake. Lol
