It comes out every year how much adding a few legitimate big leaguers to your club around the deadline can be a boost. It shows your team the FO believes in them. the core pieces to succeed are there. Supplement.
“We talked about coming out of the break hot and trying to force the organization’s hand to go get some help for us and see what we can do for Reds fans and try and do something special.”. - Emilio Pagan postgame with Jim Day

6-1 since this…. 63 games remaining. Keep winning. 37-26 gets you to 89 wins. Control what you can control. Who cares what other teams are doing.
70 games left starting tonight. #Reds gotta go 40-30 to have a chance. Probably more like 42-43 wins, given the competitiveness of the NL WC. Not impossible. Haven’t helped themselves. But it’s baseball. I’ll keep showing up and watching every night like normal. Go Reds.

Turning point for this team. Over that dreaded 5 games over .500 hump. Playing with confidence. Shout out to Scott Barlow, Tony Santillan, Graham Ashcraft and Emilio Pagan. Those dudes have delivered time and time and time again. #Reds.

Pretty clearly offered at the ball, and that by rule is what a check swing is. HE GONE.
Here's a good look at that Juan Soto check-swing strikeout. You decide:

EMILIO PAGAN. What a high wire act. We’ll freakin’ take it. 5 over .500 for the first time all season. This is a dangerous baseball team. GET THEM HELP. Go sweep their asses tomorrow. #ATOBTTR.

Tony needed that break so bad. Sharpest he’s looked in a month. Mercy.

Let the remote fly for the first time all season when Barlow got squeezed on the 2-2. Most fired up I’ve been when I saw Lindors bat go into a million pieces 2 batters later. Just a massive moment for this team.

CMON MAN. He went on the check swing and you screw him over on a perfect spot. Sickening.

I hear everyone talking about the zone, but there’s also a plethora of uncompetitive misses in there, too. Compete. Quit nibbling. Go right at someone.

Trade him for whatever value he’s got left and go trade for Gregory Soto or something.

He’s my least favorite player on the Reds, and I there’s a wide margin between the bottom. You have 1 role. And you do not do it. Can’t get inherited runners out. Your manager barely trusts you to pitch once a week.

Another one…. Freaking spot 2 insurance runs and you do that shit. Garbage.

Never seen a “lefty specialist” walk so many left handed hitters. He’s walked over 15% of left handed hitters he’s faced!.
