What. A. Homestand!
This
@Reds
team is so, darn, FUN!
They are some bat flippin’, show boatin’, son of a guns. And I want everybody to know that!
Thank you for watching. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for letting us into your homes.
Road Trip! I call Shotgun!
To all who watched & listened, thank you. A year full of major moments, thrilling comebacks & rich promise for the future. An honor for us to bring you Reds baseball on TV & radio. Enjoy time w/family & friends. The 2024 season & all its wondrous possibilities will be here soon.
Cincinnati is in the Super Bowl!
The smiles, tears and love the will spill out.
Delighted for our city.
What guts. What focus. What execution. What a win!
What a season.
Hello, my friends! So, I had an accident running yesterday & suffered breaks in my elbows. Thank goodness, Dr. Kremchek has taken great care of me & I plan to return Tuesday. Thank you for your kindness & to Jim Day/our awesome crew for being fabulous friends/teammates.

Thank you

Many positives to take out of today.
Winker, Castellanos, Suarez crushed. Awesome debut for India. ‘Pen retired 16 of 18 at end. Despite inj, Senzel catch = 😱. Great team AB’s.
161 more chances to get in that “W” column.
Is this real life?!
“It’s a new era for Reds baseball.”
“I feel like I just got called up.”
“I’m so grateful to be a part of it.”
Joey Votto will be back in the lineup tonight.
Thank you
@Reds
for a dream-come-true opportunity & a season full of fun moments. Thank you
@BallySportsCIN
. Sports TV is a team effort & we have a great squad, in front of and behind the camera. Thank you all for your warm welcome & generous kindness. I can't wait for 2022.
To all who have joined us on TV, thank you.
The Reds lead the Central at the break. Their style - exhilarating. Fusing old-school grind of hustle & patience w/selective aggression of running & bombs.
The best, is yet to come.
Cya Friday, on TV, or at GABP.
Baseball = FUN! 😊
He has no comp.
For he IS Elly De La Cruz.
He is HIM!
His best game? We haven’t seen it yet.
And that’s awesome.
What a time for Reds baseball and Reds fans!
Baseball. Is. GLORIOUS!
Rookie Jonathan India has 10 homers and an OPS of 1.021 since the All-Star break. No other rookie has more than 7 HR.
The only
@Reds
' rookies to hit 10 HR and have a .900+ OPS after the break in a season are Adam Dunn in 2001 and Joey Votto in 2008.

Jesse & Geno were incredibly kind to me. They shared w/all of us their full range of emotion. It was hard to see them speak, tears in their eyes, about their sincere affection for the city, their teammates & all fans. Good vibes/many thanks to both of you. You will be missed.
Reds Baseball.
Rock. Concert.
Thank you to everyone who came out.
Thank you to all who watched.
Thank you to our amazing
@BallySportsCIN
crew!
Tonight was the first Reds game produced by longtime AD Matt Sigafoos. Excellent work!
The fun is just starting.
12!!! 🇺🇸
Jonathan India played w/passion & purpose. He played hurt. He played to win. He took the opportunity of not playing in games in 2020 to improve his game. He represents what talent & hard work can accomplish. Congrats to the NL ROY! Just the first of many accolades to come.
On the night he posted his 1st inside-the-park HR, Elly conducted his 1st post-game TV interview in English.
A special talent & an incredibly hard worker.
This off-season, I met hundreds of young Reds fans (12 & under).
The driving force of fandom for almost all?
“Elly!”
"When I see him missing the ball, I say, 'I'm going home.'"
Elly De La Cruz tells
@JimDayTV
that he knew before hitting second base that he was going for an inside-the-park home run in the seventh inning of a 10-8
@Reds
win over the Brewers.

As we enter the 2022 ASB, on behalf of our entire
@BallySportsCIN
team, thank you. For watching, for rooting, for being with us each game. The results have not been what anyone wants/expects. But we appreciate you joining us on this journey. We love
@Reds
baseball and all of you.
I. Love. Day games.
…and
@JimDayTV

…and night games.
…and all of Reds Country.
I love to love.
What a first from Gutierrez!

A nearly empty ballpark.
The slight sounds of a train and the voices of a small handful of folks.
The knowledge it will soon transition into BP bat cracks/glove pops.
Then the majesty of a Major League game.
Baseball Nirvana. Smells like big league spirit.
This bad call made us wonder which teams were robbed by called third strikes on pitches out of the strike zone most often. Here's the list in case you were wondering, too.
Wade Miley has been darn good w/2 pitches working. A man who treasures the tranquility of hunting/fishing used his full 5-pitch arsenal as equal parts weaponry & camouflage to achieve all-time greatness. Plus, a secret weapon. A temp Hulk tattoo c/o his son. Baseball is glorious!
Proud moment for us!
Specifically remember
@johnsadak
as one of the first broadcasters to mention Jomboy during a game a couple years ago. The kind words mean a lot coming from one of the best in the business
Captain Hook joins us in the booth!
We are thrilled to welcome Tejay Antone into the booth in the top of the fourth inning tonight against the Phillies.

A welcome, quiet pregame scene. A gentle breeze on a beautiful 71-degree afternoon.
Ballpark bliss.
Thank you to all who have kindly reached out today.
A true birthday treat. Back in the city I was born in. A chance to see and be with family as the Reds push for the playoffs.
We been through every kind of rain there is.
Little bitty stingin' rain, and big ol' fat rain.
Rain that flew in sideways.
And sometimes, rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath.
It takes two to make a thing go right.
It takes two to make it outta sight.
On 90s Night. Rob Base performing.
2-hole bat Naquin keeps crushing. No. 2, Castellanos 2 hits/4RBI. Stephenson 2RBI. Lorenzen’s 2nd SV. 5 double plays!
This team is so friggin’ fun.
#RedsHot
I am excited about the opportunity to work my way back to the Major Leagues. It’s even sweeter to attempt this while wearing the uniform of my hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Go get ‘em boys!
For those asking, thank you for your kindness. I’m fine. A few extra days with our family by the ocean.
I’ll be in the stands with fans on Sunday.
Back in the booth starting Monday in Atlanta.
Jim Day on the way w/pbp in moments…
Hugs! 🤗
We are ready for

holding down PxP duties tonight! Start of a big road trip coming up now. Please join us for baseball and fun.
@BallySportsCIN
From the good folks at MLB Research:
Elly De La Cruz has reached base in each of the Reds’ first 12 games, and 17 straight dating back to last season.
The last Red with a longer on-base streak to start a season?
Joey Votto in 2015 (15 games).
Ready to rock!
Delighted to be part of our
@BallySportsCIN
crew igniting Opening Day 2023 coverage with Reds Live starting at 10a.
Join us.
Baseball’s Back! ❤️
The Reds fan who caught Spencer Steer’s foul ball, drawing initial cheers, who then went heel flaunting his Reds colors to a wave of bombarding boos?
Spencer’s twin brother, Trevor!
Baseball. ❤️
Great time chatting Ellymania and Reds baseball today with Rich.
Kind thanks for having me on.
Also, thank you for telling the story of this incredibly fun, talented team and its outstanding young stars for weeks.
Cincinnati is rockin’!

Diaz threw 7P, all strikes, in 1-2-3 ninth for his 9th SV.
Command SOLID. Velo WAY up.
Entered AVG FB 93.7 on the yr.
Tonight 95.5.
Entered AVG SL 86.9 on the yr.
Tonight 89.4.
All wins/losses count the same in the standings.
Not all feel the same. Tonight felt different.
Love the passion from Joey and David. Hope to see
@Jomboy_
break down the ejection(s). Lot of strong lip reading moments. Votto is on a mission. And he must have heard something said to him after that appeal to get him that fired up.
The charter awaits.
The season will soon start.
While we won’t be together properly for Opening Day, know all of us, on & off mic, will be alongside watching.
When our telecasts commence on Friday, they will be done in person.
All season.
Home & road.
I can’t wait.
