I'm just happy to see SOMETHING to help the outfield at this point. Hope he does well at GABP!

Thank you for letting us know. Seems like a bargain basement deal ☹️

dcarel.bsky.social•29 days ago

If we don't trade some pitching/prospects, I'm afraid this is the big outfield move.

If only Rece Hinds could play all year like he did his first week ....

for-petes-sake.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah. He has a ton of power. But, like Willy Mo Pena and Aristides Aquino he just won’t be able to put it together.

dcarel.bsky.social•29 days ago

Unfortunately, I think you're correct. I am hoping you are wrong though!

Haha, "if only Rece Hinds could be the greatest hitter in the history of the game", yeah that would be pretty cool.

dcarel.bsky.social•29 days ago

He was!!!! For a week.....

thesingingbush.bsky.social•29 days ago

No knock on Elly and Hunter's seasons, but that week was the most fun part of the Reds season last year by a country mile.

dcarel.bsky.social•29 days ago

3 more weeks like that and he would have been The Punisher 2.0. The kid hit some monster home runs.

Ask Hays if he believes his slump and his kidney infection were punishment from god for using god's name in vain to spread a veiled message of hate just weeks earlier

gimpleg.bsky.social•29 days ago

A few weeks before his kidney infection, Hays posted on IG about wearing gods armor to protect him from Devil's night, a reference to Pride Night in Baltimore. Just your run of the mill anti LGBTQ+ bigotry disguised as religion

nicktoerner.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ughhhh

skyygoro.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh boy! More platoon players! Who needs a consistent starter?

Thoughts and prayers for when Cincy hosts a pride night.

I wish you a lifetime of stubbed toes and drag shows, Austin.
