“He had us at hello!” Indeed!! ⚾️👏🏻

[@mrb400]

Amazing calls. “That ball had a family” “It’s a cyyyyyyyyyyyyycle” “he STOLE home!” Gives me goosebumps as a reds fan 😂

[@1craley878]

I think that one "that ball had a family" was the best call of year.

[@vesubioromo9425]

That was the BREWERS crowd getting hyped when he took off for home. Amazing. MLB away crowds always appreciate crazy gamers getting crazy.

[@ibapreppie]

More like warning their pitcher that dude is 3/4 of the way to home plate lol.

[@user-di8sb8np7y]

You're right I noticed the crowd noise. Baseball fans love good baseball. Even if it's against your own team.

[@johnnichols3184]

It’s been rough being a Reds fan over the last ten years but he’s so exciting to watch. I’ve been watching Reds baseball since 95 and this has easily become my favorite Reds team I’ve ever watched. I love the energy of this team and I can’t wait to see what happens over the next five to ten years. God knows Reds fans deserve this with everything we’ve had to endure over the last couple of decades.

[@thechampagneroom1]

I feel that. Growing up a Cubs fan I saw plenty of Cubs vs Reds and Cubs vs Pirates games at wrigley. Tickets were always cheaper those games.

[@ChrisB-vb9hh]

Not to mention the Bengals being a Super Bowl threat every year!! It’s a great feeling these days being a lifelong Cincinnati fan! 💪🏻

[@joecoolberry911]

You probably have the same feeling about him as I do about Julio as a mariners fan. Makes the game so electric😊

[@johnnichols3184]

@@ChrisB-vb9hh I’m 50-50. I’m an Indianapolis Colts fan in football and I got to watch them win a Super Bowl my senior year of high school. I want that feeling though for Bengals fans because they deserve that and there is no better time for Bengals fans get their first Super Bowl in team history then the next five+ years or so

I am a huge Cubs fan, but I have never been so excited for baseball because of Elly De La Cruz. The kid is UNREAL!!!!!!!!! He definitely has the potential to be the future of baseball!

[@danw6530]

The craziest thing about that audio clip is that's an away game at their Division Rivals! Listen to the crowd!

[@Come-here-puppetboy-FJB]

The first time I heard of Elly was when he hit for the cycle. I don't follow baseball, but Damn he's fun to Watch

[@akdollface007]

He stole home and then sort of skipped towards the dugout. THAT was such an awesome moment to see. He’s a BEAST! Loving the Reds this year - the skill and energy of the ball club right now is AMAZING 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩⚾️.

hes the best ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@99bimmer]

Lol, If you had Ohtani and Elly just show up at the show one day, I swear, Rich would just de-materialize. I love it

[@ianschulze1461]

As a Reds fan, we needed this.

[@jcfreaksintx]

I am glad that Baseball is getting some love in the national press but particularly glad it is the Reds!!

[@barrywatts875]

We are witnessing a player with unbelievable eyes when it comes to hitting and base running speed and aggressiveness that can not be duplicated. He runs the base like Ty Cobb 100 years ago.

[@XKick3nWingX]

"And this one belongs to the REDS! "

[@nate78824]

Can't wait for the interview with the Reds announcer.

[@SRK-VENT]

Elly De La Cruz is ELECTRIFYING!!! FUN WATCHING HIM!!!

[@jamiebrs1]

[@MrLee23]

He'll be in the All-Star 💫 Game for many years to come. Go REDS!

[@jdawg9137]

Sadly we know the owner, so hopefully a couple years in a Reds uniform.

[@LyndaWhite-th5wm]

Elly did it for me! Definitely renewed my love for the REDS!!! A BRIGHT SHINING STAR INDEED 🌟

[@triptin24]

I have never watched a game of baseball. That is about to change. I'm watching this young man.

[@mafia_dave32]

They did offer Elly the HR derby but he turned it down rightfully so . Go Reds!!!

[@Musiccafe5890]

That is a great point. If you're showcasing the game and want people to watch, you should have De La Cruz in the game. Imagine him facing Ohtani. That's a must-see at-bat.

[@whatthe8898]

Sorry to correct you Brock but he has been caught twice, he is 16 for 18 this year. But with that said He is truly a sight, and has made baseball fun to watch again.

[@1craley878]

Didn't think i would ever see it with my own eyes but slowly but surely, rich "richigan" eisen is enjoying watching Ohio sports teams.

[@mithroch]

I haven't been this excited about a Reds team since 2012. I haven't felt this great about my Cincy teams since the early 90s.

[@chrismathis9240]

All of this in 30 games! 30 games!

[@douglinn1583]

That's a great idea Rich! Good luck getting MLB to go along with it, but I like it! Play ball!

[@keithrowe1663]

I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a player or a ball club since I was a kid and the Reds got Griffey Jr or their 2012 run. And the best part is they’re already doing it so young with crap starting pitching that can easily be fixed

[@digitalsalsas]

Named my childhood dog Griffey and my childhood hamster Kenyon Martin (lol)… Feel like I need to adopt a literal tiger if I’m gonna honor the name Elly at this point.

[@edubbz1987]

When he the name "Greasy Neil", I knew that stat would be from the early 1900s

[@carlitodeleon768]

That Kid LIFTED A WHOLE CITY !!

[@TrendSettaRico]

Off of the immediate impact and excitement factor, Cruz definitely should get the nod! Us Reds fans would support like nothing else mattered. I swear if our management doesn't do right moving forward after catching lightning in a bottle.......there's no reason that they can't surround our young talent with legit players top to bottom and get us back to competing for chips

Torpedo reference was LOL. Now that is going back!

Props to Elly, who we enjoyed watching here with our Chattanooga Lookouts just last year. But props also to Rich. We've also enjoyed his work for several years.

This is my favorite type of player, he can fill a stat line up in any category. To me Rickey Henderson is my favorite #1 of all time but this kid has potential!

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

I sure wish he had Rickey's plate discipline

[@dantedennis1406]

He plays to win and take chances for possible errors. He is not stiff. He is not old culture. The game speeding up is favored to the cerebral minded.
