Around the League: There are no other games!

The most impressive starter I saw was Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luke Holman, who wasn’t throwing that hard — mostly 91-93 — but had two above-average breaking balls and went right after hitters on both sides of the plate. In three hitless innings on Tuesday night, he struck out six of 10 batters he faced, walking one. A compensation round B pick in 2024 out of LSU, Holman made two starts in pro ball before undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2025. He will need to add something for lefties, as he’s always been a three-pitch guy with the two breaking pitches, and I saw just one changeup in this outing. If that pitch becomes even a fringe-average offering, he’s a definite starter

Reddit's home for everything Reds!

Rules:

1. Follow reddiquette

Remember the human. When you communicate here, all you see is a computer/device screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?" See https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette for the rest.

2. Be polite here and in other subs

Don't be a troll here and be respectful in other subs. Don't be (intentionally) rude at all.

3. No personal attacks

Discuss the posts and comments, not the people who posted them. If you discuss other redditors rudely, it's a bannable offense.

4. No blogspam, app spam or Tube spam

Posts may not be self-promotional in nature, unless prior approval is given by the mod team. Any self-promotion of a blog, an app or a video is prohibited.

5. No Trolling

Posting behavior that does not comply with the following sitewide Reddit rule is considered trolling.

"Abide by community rules. Post authentic content into communities where you have a personal interest, and do not cheat or engage in content manipulation (including spamming, vote manipulation, ban evasion, or subscriber fraud) or otherwise interfere with or disrupt Reddit communities."

6. Be a Fan

What's this mean exactly? Don't come into the subreddit with the sole purpose of being negative. To be clear, negativity as a whole is not banned. Criticizing a player or the front office or whomever is fine. However, if your post history is filled with nothing but vitriol and targeted harassment, expect to be removed from the conversation. We are all fans here after all.

7. No Low Effort Posts

A 1-word thread title or a thread that only includes the name of someone in a Reds' uniform is a bad thread title. " The best thread titles are complete sentences. Instead of titling a thread with "Votto," title it with "Votto hits a walk-off grand slam!" or whatever other thing you want to discuss that he did.

Also includes generative AI posts, photos, videos or comment threads. Even the worst Photoshop or Paint artwork is better than stolen art poorly made by a robot .

8. Posts should be about the Reds

Posts should have some connection to the Cincinnati Reds. If you post about other teams or people associated with other teams, be sure to explain how your topic affects the Reds. Posts that don't have some connection to the Reds will be removed.

9. Use the Game Thread

For Game day discussions or stat talks, should stay within the Game Day Threads of the current game that is happened. We do not need discussion threads about every little thing that happens in a game, out of the GDT. Highlight posting is Ok as long as its not spammed.
