I've been adding people who seem to want to talk Reds occasionally to a list. It is not comprehensive by any stretch, but if you are looking for some other Reds fans, start here.

It's crazy that the Reds practically destroyed Blake Snell this postseason compared to the Phillies and Brewers. They scored 2 runs on 4 hits off of him!

It's not about it being a ground ball. It's 2 force outs. That's what differentiates it from a fly ball DP or bad base running tag out.

This is the first 8-6-2 (or 8-6-2-2) double play in the playoffs over at least the last 35 postseasons

The last time there was a play like this in the regular season was by the Reds on April 16, 2004 (8-6-2). CF: Ken Griffey Jr. Batter: Sammy Sosa

Yes, Boyle references it as a Diane Keaton for Jake and Holt

Update: Neither of them did, apparently.

I've never seen both teams claiming they've scored a touchdown on the same play before, but it's happening in Georgia-Auburn.

They don't kick their statistician out of the shot at FOX.

One of the game's most storied records!

They're on the road the week, so they basically just send a pep band. No marching.

You've only got the talent you've got. The Aves don't have much of it right now.

Joel Luckhaupt @jluckhaupt.bsky.social · 3d

Hey, that's the only game where they've scored multiple touchdowns this year!
