"This is the first inside-the-park homerun for the Reds since September 23, 2023". Bro, that's about 15 games ago.

[@pepperonish]

Lol

[@jamesniagu274]

😂😂😂 ☠️

[@richardli4038]

every stat they announce is like a clickbait youtube title

[@Freedathedog]

lol thank you for saying this.

[@Jason_Moore619]

I was thinking it must have been 10+ years ago not 15 games lol

[@nathanespinoza890]

The announcer absolutely CRUSHED it with these calls. Makes watching baseball so much more fun

[@Walk_Off_0311]

Yeah John is great

[@jamesniagu274]

Yes!!! It’s the reason why hockey, football, soccer, and basketball are fun to watch just that excitement with a goal. Let’s get this excited for Home runs and runs driven home in general.

[@spittlefish5208]

Out the gate with some bars: "He slides, it gets by! De La Cruz can fly!"

[@johnbouvet5311]

i love the video of this guy saying... "THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY"...lol

[@blairpenny1526]

I got chill with "Windmill is on" what an absolute gem of a call and a play by De La Cruz

[@8bitdee]

As a Cubs fan I can confidently say this guy is freaking electric.

[@DixieRect]

That was super awesome the way he said "a BIG league HR his last time up" then Elly proceeds to also hit a LLHR, this kid is fun to watch

[@steveanthrop8475]

And the centerfielder made a Little League mistake by diving for that. I hope his manager walked over and asked him "what did we learn today?" Oh! And I'm a Reds fan. I was loving it.

[@lucascaron4145]

yeah a .235/.300/.410 hitter is so fun to watch

Add another!

[@ConnorMiller417]

As soon as I saw that ball get past the outfielder, I knew Elly was going to make it home. The electricity this man brings is unmatched because of his speed. Elly Mania is amazing! ⚡️💥

His plate to third base time is 10.8 seconds. Crazy

john sadak with the call adds extra 🔥🔥🔥

[@blairpenny1526]

Man when he said windmill is on is got chills what an amazing call start to finish

[@welshrabbit5]

Mr Sadak- total legendary call on both, much aroha from Auckland, NZ

[@Immanuel481]

He’s so fun to watch

[@jamesniagu274]

This dude makes me smile. Love watching him play and thanks for not doing this against my Phillies.

[@KuyBurgOfficial]

Fellow Phillies fan here who agrees he’s fun to watch but at least he don’t do it against us 😂

[@jamesniagu274]

@@KuyBurgOfficial facts lol Just like I like Aaron judge do your thing bro just not against Philly lol GO PHILS!

[@bingefest1799]

This is the most exciting and promising Reds team we've had here in Cincinnati in over 30 years

[@mchonkler7225]

Dunno about that, the 2010 and 2012 teams were good. I honestly think if they didn't have that rain delay against the Giants when they were up 2 games to 0, they would have won that game and went on to win the world series.

[@M98747]

​@@mchonkler7225Votto and Phillips were the only two that ever delivered consistently. This team feels like it has 6 guys that can be that good by the end of the year. I'm pumped. My dad always told me stories of the Big Red Machine. He passed away two years ago, and I know he would love to watch this team.

[@mchonkler7225]

@@M98747 Ryan Ludwick and Jay Bruce had good years in 2012 and that pitching staff, especially the starting pitching, was nasty. I hope this years reds is better than them but lets not sell them short.

[@M98747]

@@mchonkler7225 Yeah, Jay was really good 11-13, but he always had massive cold slumps it seemed when it mattered most. We haven't won a playoff series since I was 2. Let's just hope for that at least!

[@steveanthrop8475]

I love this team too. Loaded with talent. Let's hope the pitching will come around. {I know, injuries}. I look forward to McClain getting back and hope he can stay healthy. P.S. I'm old. The Big Red Machine is some of my best memories. If this team had the pitching staff of 1990, they could win 110 games.

[@c-dublife]

brewers fan here. this was a great game.

[@robertredmon5409]

Saw this live on MLB big inning yesterday it was electric

[@dominickbotello]

Homer from the left side and on the right side inside the park homer that is insane

[@BlindHatchet]

That has to be a first!

[@Just_A_Name14]

It was center field 😂

[@oceanwomangod]

@@Just_A_Name14they mean he switched from batting left handed to right handed on the two bats. Elly hits both right and left handed.

[@tuckertucker1]

This broadcasting belongs in the Hall of Fame: "He slides, it gets by! De La Cruz can Fly! He storms to second. Chourio gathers, into the track. Windmill is ON! Relay to the plate! De La Cruz! SAAAAAFFEE!!!!!"

[@thevoiceofrevelationpodcast]

As an outfielder who got torched many times going for that type of a forward lunging catch.. Suggestion.. make sure the ball bounces off your body instead of the last gasp extended arm attempt.

[@noeymo]

Damn the brewers always making the highlight reel courtesy of Delacruz😂

[@GunNut37086]

I haven't watched MLB since the '95 strike , but I caught some Elly highlights and I'm hooked again.

[@Penny-yx3dh]

This Dude Is LEGIT 💯

[@Twistedbetativ2owner]

This is why he’s my favorite mlb player

[@therealftltrub]

It's a Great time to be in Cincinnati these days, A lot to look forward to. Reds will be right there this year even with not so good pitching, And the Bengals will be right there this year as well BOTH fighting for Title 🗣️💯💪🏿 Mark my words. Great Year to be from Cincinnati Ohio #GoReds ⚾ #WHODEY 🐯🖤🧡🤍🏈

[@gattiger91]

Giants fan here. De La Cruz is so much fun to watch, so great for baseball

[@petergriffin2836]

And he switch hits damn!!! That’s impressive

[@AssassinKreed1016]

The fact the inside the park homer was without era is amazing

[@eddylo6007]

Elly is so fun to watch, and love the camera pose at the end. We need more of this for baseball, please!

[@jaygatsby1]

‘Windmill is on” prolly been said before, but that’s a great call.

[@DustinBowen1]

As a Braves fan I'm going to come out and say it. If anyone has the ability to top RAJ it's de la Cruz.

That was fun to watch. How was his home run only 450 when center field is like 410 and it looks like it was 100 feet past that!

[@basementcardcollector]

Oh this is why people like this guy…lol. He’s huge, he can hit bombs, he’s fast, he’s a switch hitter, he can throw it fast, he’s young, what else is there? This has to be a STAT of rare air right… 450 Ft HR AND hit an inside the park HR!? Excellent work here young man!!!!

@@70mackdaddy That's World Series potential right there. Current pitching is holding us back a little.

And from opposite sides of the plate- MLB’s going to look so dumb for ranking him as only the 100th best player

[@haywood0457]

Inside the park might be the top play in all sports. Baseball needs more offense. I’d rather see a 11-10 game than a 2-1 slugfest.

[@Nach_Sanchez]

SAFFFEEEEEEE!!!

[@aaronlovell6026]

As soon as he crossed first base and seen the diving miss. He had nothing but home plate on his mind. Most inside the park home runs are from fielder error. But the the ball didn't hit the center fielders glove, then thats not an error. That's a true inside the park home run.

No excuse for that as a CF in that situation
