2K24: Cincinnati Reds

[B-Fly]

Galvis or Iglesias - who's the better fantasy asset the rest of the way?

[Hammer]

Aquino is the first player in MLB history to hit 8HR in his first 12 games.

Wild ride

[Ken]

9 and 4/9ths games technically - so you are both right.

[tinitoy]

10 games but still an awesome feat

[madducks]

Aquino's rise to the big leagues has been remarkable this year. Former top prospect due to the raw talent, but struggled with Ks. Apparently a swing change this spring produced great results. Tore up AAA and he's on fire to start his MLB career. Set the Reds record for exit velocity, and he's only played 7 games.

Huge power and great arm in the OF. One of the best nicknames going "The Punisher". The talk is that he has all the tools to become a star, and he's already hitting cleanup. But he'll be 26 years old next year. Strange path.

Fun player to watch. I somehow snagged him in a keeper league last weekend for $2, hoping he's on my team for many years going forward.

Aquino with 3 more home runs tonight to give him 7 in 9 games!

[Ken]

I saw his first 3 or 4 AB with the radical open stance. He was swinging and missing badly at all kinds of stuff thrown out of the strike zone. I missed my chance to get him.....doh!

Wow, he is absolutely on fire right now.

this is beautiful stuff, thanks for posting!

Agreed. Pirate pitchers are going to get one of their hitters killed before long. Next time it may not be in the leg.

---Garrett is a beast. Going right into the belly of the whale guns a blazing.

Leeeeerooyyyyy Jenkins

[Mithrandir]

Who cares anymore. Let em hit, punch, bean, maim each other. So what. Play ball.

[Hammer]

Couple of thoughts here

---Puig is a fake tough guy. He coulda cracked Crick and didnt but when there were people between him, he was a tough guy
---Garrett is a beast. Going right into the belly of the whale guns a blazing.
---I am going to assume this is from Hurdle but the Pirates pitchers who continue to throw at peoples heads deserve a beat down. Deitrich gets hit constantly. Keep it below the waist and theres no issue. Throwing at his head and then high fiving teammates in the dugout is disgusting and cowardly.
