Man does he know how to make the absolute most out of every opportunity to play. Such a smart aggressive player.
why did the pitcher not throw it better to the catcher when he stole home? isn’t that ironic
ā@no further westprobably because he was caught off guard and not expecting that at all
@no further west Brewers did a terrible job holding him on 2nd and 3rd. Nobody even went to cover 3rd when he stole that bag and then when he was on 3rd, the 3rd baseman was too far off the bag so he got a big lead and when the pitcher got the ball he had his back turned and took a lazy walk back to the mound and De La Cruz took notice and took advantage.
@no further westbecause brewers were lazy and probably didnāt read scouting report
ā@no further westbecause most times they don’t whip the ball back and forth. They lob it. In between pitches is usually when the pitcher is thinking about the situation and what he’s going to do next. That’s why people like EDLC and Acuna are so dangerous. You can’t take a moment off.
Definitely got to love his tenacity and aggression. Dude has the necessary skills to be an absolute force for the foreseeable future.He’s definitely the real deal!
Tenacity, aggression, and brains. Heās carefully watching the other team for weaknesses and taking advantage.
I agree definitely a force in the future! The next Tom brady for sure!
He’s been a force now dude is a stud
I wish we would get a free taco from Taco Bell for every base he stole/steals
I look forward to the Hall of Fame career he’ll have with another organization! š
MAKING HISTORY IN MONTHS THIS KID IS THE FUTURE
a month, he just got called up June 6…Ell-ectric!
This is NOT professional baseball. This is some craved up , watered down version of what was once a revered sport. Now it’s just crappy entertainment.
@Smarty Mcflyfound the brewers fan
This kid is a phenomenon. Never seen anything like him.
Serious Rickey Henderson vibes.
Nah man never. This is insane what has been happening
Dude is incredible. One of the most freakish athletes I’ve ever seen play in the major leagues. Blazing speed. Top tier pop from both sides of the plate. Absolute rocket launcher for an arm. Great instincts in the field. Kid is absolutely special and will be playing ball for a loooooong time.
Ricky Henderson.
ā@Axe2Grindcan’t even spell his name right
He KNEW that if he could steal 3rd with no one covering the base, he could take that HUGE lead towards home with no threat to throw behind him. This kid is something else!!
Agreed. This was poor play by the Brewers 3rd baseman!
Iām inclined to call the stealing of 3rd defensive indifference. Thatās how unbelievably lackadaisical the 3rd basemen was. But I guess it counts as a steal if the pitcher or catcher make a motion to throw? Or can it not be indifference if youāre the lead runner? Is it only in walk off situations? Kinda weird to me. I donāt even want to take away from Elly, it was just frustrating to watch. Stealing second and home were obviously 100% legit though
Yes this kid is something else!!
*such
Don’t think it can be indifference because they were holding him on 2nd before the pitch. Not 100% sure, but that would make sense to me.
I love Votto leading the Elly chant after he steals home. This team is not only blessed with the most exciting kid in baseball, but also the best and most humble veteran leader in baseball šŖ
Just look at him go through his progressions. Wow!!!!
This vet still bangs.
I guess he’s not as much of a hothead like he used to be š.
@Kevin Stull Nah he’s a fake nice guy now
Humble? Votto? Really? Older & slightly wiser, maybe…. but humility is not a trait he possesses. Having said that, he could play for my team any day. And DeLaCruz will be fun to watch for years.
The fact that just about every person in that stadium saw what he was doing before the pitcher had any clue is amazing. I love listening to the crowd’s reaction, which gets the pitcher to finally turn around. Elly knew the only person who mattered was the guy holding the ball. Those are some incredible instincts.
I love that the crowd is thrilled by what happened in spite of the fact that it’s an opposing player that did it.
The way that Elly can completely RUIN a teams defense is unreal. He had the brewers absolutely lost when he stole home. His hitting is getting more consistent and heās learning to be aggressive at the right times, not just all the time.
This kid is something special and I canāt believe heās on the Reds. Finally we have a team to rally behind!
Manfred lets everyone make the playoffs though so it only matters in the postseason ātournamentā which shouldnāt even exist
Every day Iām likeā¦.ok, whatās Elly going to do today? Heās fun to watch. These rookies for the Reds have energized the team.
They have something like 8 rookies all playing great ball and genuinely contributing and none of them are making over 3 mil. Think Votto comes off the books this year and then the Reds have an enormous amount of money available to spend and amazing talent that’s costing them nothing. And Greene, Abbott, and Lodolo look like a legitimate high end rotation. Plus, Diaz is becoming a lockdown closer. The Reds have very serious potential. Pick up a good veteran catcher for leadership and a few bullpen pieces, and they could maybe make a run.
@steve meters and the Reds are still paying Ken Griffey, Jr. making 3.59 million this year.
@LescoBCĀ good for Jr. lol
@steve metersI think the reds should still sign votto to a 1-2 year deal he still has some gas left in him
ā @Lesco Brandon Colemanand we are still paying most Mike Moustakas 2023 salary. Joey Votto, Mike M, and Ken G jr. Are making a combined 51 million this year
Elly is a monster. Baseball needed this season big time. The increased runs, hits, stolen bases, etc were much needed. Hope thereās more changes to come because I believe the game still needs another uptick in overall offense.
plus the best change of all…the PITCH CLOCK!!…im loving these 2 and half hour games.
Finally somebody for ESPN to talk about besides sluggers and HR numbers. The kid is batting .328.
