The second game of that series, which is scheduled for tomorrow night (June 13), is being targeted for a "Reverse Boycott" by many A's fans who are eager to show still-widespread, still-strong support for the A's in Oakland and nearby communities and to pressure John Fisher, Dave Kaval, et al. to sell the A's to a person or group who will be much more willing both to keep the A's in Oakland and to spend generous sums of money on the team.

The Cincinnati Reds have won 8 straight games, just went 8-1 on a road trip, and are above 500. 

 

This has been your semi-regular Reds Report.

Your First Place Cincinnati Reds.

 

Congrats for now.

Well hello Cincinnati Reds. I would like to introduce you to another team that had won the last 8 games, the San Francisco Giants. Still in second, but ahead of the Dodgers. I’ll take it!

Apparently this run is a major league first. 

 

 

 

I'm having fun!

And they would be in last place if they were in the AL East. Just shows what a juggernaut that division is.

10 straight wins for our beloved Cincinnati Reds. 

 

Will this streak ever end? I got tickets through work for Friday's game against Atlanta, which will be my first game in person since 2021. Place bets on it to end there.

11 games in a a row now for the Redlegs. The longest winning streak for the club since the Eisenhower presidency (1957), 3 straight series sweeps, and 13-2 since they called up Elly De La Cruz. But dont let this distract you from the fact that Castellini still needs to sell the team.

If anything this gives him more reason to sell the team. Sell them while they’re hot.

This years AL central is looking like the AL central used to. A real barn burner where there's a small but real chance the winner has a losing record. Midwest AL baseball at its finest

Sellout in Cincy for tonight's game vs Atlanta

You saw a dandy!!!!

12 wins in a row for the Reds, most since 1957, snapping the Braves 8 game winning streak.

 

Votto hit his second and third home runs of the year after returning from the season starting DL  this week.

 

Elly De La Cruz hit for the cycle in just his 15th game in the majors, the Reds first cycle since Eric Davis in 1989.

 

Reds were down 5-0 after the top of the first, win 11-10.  All in front of a sold out crowd in what may have been the game of the year so far.

[See Red]

Kid's incredible! Shame he did it in those uniforms,  though.

You and @Sport have something to carry y'all for the rest of your [sportsfan] lives...and I'd imagine your fellow Cincinnatian probably won't be able to speak straight for a couple days due to de la Cruz-induced hoarseness.

This is why I don’t gamble on sports. Lol. 
 

I’ve been to over 150 Major League Baseball games and last night was easily the single best baseball game I’ve ever attended. Big comebacks, packed house, back and forth seesaw, athletes crushing dingers, action on the base paths, and lots of balls in play. It had everything. Also the first time I’ve ever seen one of baseball’s special moments like a no-hitter, perfect game, 4-homer game, record breaker, or cycle. And normally I think the cycle is kind of overrated because it’s mostly an accident. Like a 3 run home run game is a better game than hitting for the cycle. But in this case I genuinely believe he knew he needed the triple to get it, went to the plate trying to hit a triple, and then was successful, which makes it a really cool achievement and is crazy when you think about it. 
 

And yeah the voice was a little raspy this morning from yelling “CYCLE!” like a lunatic. I don’t think most people in my section knew what he’d just done and once I informed the old guy next to me he was even more amped than I was. 
 

Great night at the yard. That’s why you buy the ticket - for the chance you see a rare game like that. It was magic.

2:00 mark where he got the cycle 

the announcer's call is epic too

Awesome!

 

I'm lucky enough to have seen Rickey Henderson break the SB record, Nolan Ryan win #300, and Robin Yount get his 3000th hit. My brother and I went three nights in a row, seeing 2998, then 2999 on night 2, and finally 3000.
