0 for 4 before that. Nothing fazes Money Matt.

And Stephenson's 2-run HR earlier in the game was big, too. But, yeah, it's always the Walkoff Hitter that gets the gatorade bath.

Both rookies, Reds future is so bright

He is the Morgan of this team. Steer is like the Bench of this team. We do need more from catchers at time, though Stephenson had a solid game.

@@Maxbps88Well, Steer won the game and has been almost as consistent as Matt.

What a feel good team for the year…

It's why we watch the games!!!!!!!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

Oof

“dismantled”😂😂😂😂😅

@@neonilistnot sure what your immature little emojis are about. Yes. A pitcher with. 6+ ERA completely dismantled them. 3 hits, 1 ER. Try using your words instead of resorting to the little laughing faces.

@@slpguy6026 no one asked for your dumb input

Absolutely

Fair weather af

They’re legit.

@@dead2me810how could it be considered fair weather to be excited for your team winning for the first time in years? Last year it took two whole months more to get the wins we have this year. This team is genuinely special, and people should be excited. Just don’t expect a World Series yet. Hopefully, if we continue in this direction, we could conceivably compete for one in a couple years.

Lets GooooooOOOOOOOO!

I agree. But I bet the players were burning up wearing them in the heat. In my opinion, they look much nicer than the Padres city connect uniforms.

Diaz, Friedl, McClain, Steer

@@maxbaumer2045 elly will be in a couple years to

@@maxbaumer2045can’t forget Marte

Elly didn't even touch the plate and the catcher was landing from the catch. By definition not blocking.

@@verde7595It was close, I still think the tip of his mitt nipped the back end of the plate before he tagged after DLC stood up, but I do agree with the no blocking call. I don’t think Steer was in agreement though, cause he hit that moonshot with some malicious intent. Ump can’t do much about that play!

Reds, Orioles, Red Sox. Throw in Pirates and Cubs, along with Dodgers. I love Reds, but those seem like the teams that fans gravitate toward.

Yes.

@@ethanweeter2732the fans are wrong lol

I support that sentiment! This game was everything baseball should be: drama, tension, effort, success.

Fan since the 50's

Lol no doubt! Go buy some more prima donnas SD

Mets are the best 12th place team money can buy. Can’t wait for us vs the padres to see who is worse.

No way anyone can out choke sd

@@notmyname6452 as a Mets fan you have not watched the Mets than.

Just wait well turn it around

Infield was playing in, therefore the catched is not restricted to blocking the plate or not. Good call.

Them bad boys are 🔥

As a Reds fan I think the Padres are pretty sick too

it’s them or washington. whenever i come into enough spending money, i’m getting a jersey from both 🔥

I’m a reds fan but I gotta go with Kansas City was best ones

I think most fans think they have sweet City Connect uniforms.

😂 sorry to laugh at your pain but that was hilarious.

@@danejurus69 I'm laughing too, and I'm a Padres fan. Laughing and crying.

Good 1😅

And our padres going in the opposite direction 😢

Incorrect, if the infield is drawn in and there is a ground ball (as was in this case), there can be no blocking of the plate violation by rule. On the slide Elly didn't touch home plate, so he was out. One of the few times tonight the home plate ump got a call correct. If Senzel's single went into the outfield and they tried to throw a runner out at home plate, then the blocking of the plate rules are in effect.

@craigbarr2003 Oh ok thanks for the clarification man never heard of that one but of course not many times is there a ground ball with some as fast as De La Cruz running towards home with the infield drawn in lol. I knew De La Cruz didn't touch home I just thought blocking the plate could still be called if the runner couldn't touch home due to the catcher getting in the way of the runner trying to touch home before the ball made it towards the catcher

Unfortunately, the rules say that Sanchez can block the plate. Elly would have been correct to just barrel over him

As a reds fan, it wasn’t that bad. The blocking the plate call doesn’t apply to infield hits according to the rules and Elly obviously didn’t touch home

Wasn't a bad or wrong call. Just unfortunate. But look at it this way, ball don't lie and the Reds still won

He was out and I'm not a Padre fan by any means lol

Literally did not touch.

America's team......lol, give me a break.

Fraley has 50 rbi’s

​@@Prayingmantis503hope not!

Seemed like other than the double we owned him but yall still won!

Calling stikes on pitches in the dirt or a foot outside lol, he was bad

Like your Dirty Harry quote. Go Reds.

No it isn’t. There is absolutely nothing in the rule about that. Go read up on it. There are many comments about the rule, which gives umps interpretive information. But it absolutely does NOT void the blocking rule. Catcher still must have the ball that clearly beats the runner to be able to block. The comments refer to situations in which the catcher can’t help but be where he is. Eg, a throw takes him into the path of a runner.

I swear he still touched the plate but the replay was really bad so it was hard to tell

@@slpguy6026 rule 6.01(i)(2) in the rulebook. "Not withstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 6.01(i)(2) if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in a legitimate attempt to field the throw (e.g., in reaction to the direction, trajectory or the hop of the incoming throw, or in reaction to a throw that originates from a pitcher or drawn-in infielder)" I love how people like you say false statements so confidently. Read the rulebook dumabss

Then the runner trucking the catcher to touch home plate should be voided too

​@@slpguy6026youre wrong. The catcher can legally block the plate if he has possession of the ball or if the throw takes him into the path of the runner, or if the catcher is receiving a throw from a drawn-in infielder or the pitcher.

Elly was out tho so they got that 1 right

thats what im saying dude...

Fr

They had to edit out all the horrific balls and strikes calls from the ump. Legit the worst called game I've seen all season.

​@@oIRONITEofacts. The umps have been suspiciously bad as of late. 🤔

Obvious to me now. Priority =team payroll

"Go Red Sox"?? Go Redlegs, maybe, but the Red SOX are that team up in Beantown.)

@@Maxbps88 lol yes I love my Red Sox but the Reds are fun to watch they are coming

Absolutely!! So ridiculous. My Rangers got robbed last week against the White Sox in similar fashion but on defense instead of offense, Jonah Heim got called for blocking the plate when he totally didn’t

if the infield is in, there can be no plate blocking violation. know the rules before you complain all night.

Reds telecast confirmed that plate-blocking restrictions don't apply on a ground ball with the infield in.

the plate blocking rule is totally open to interpretation it seems. should be gotten rid of entirely.

@@branarchistbullcrap. Catcher cannot block unless he has the ball. Or, he collects a ball that “clearly” beats the runner. This was not that, and not close. MLB will need to revisit, revise, reeducate everyone including you
