I don't speak for all Reds fans but I've absolutely loved hearing John Sadak call some incredible moments this year. Easily the most fun year in Reds baseball in over a decade.
I’m so glad he’s our announcer. I just didn’t want to assume that every fan agrees with me, but I think the vast majority does. Also seems like a great dude.
John Sadak is the best play-by-play for TV baseball, no question. Plus he's tried Skyrosa before - 10/10, he embraced Cincy HARD so we embrace him right back.
I recently met John at Reds Spring Training in Goodyear, AZ. He is such a class act. He was so humble and kind. He sat and talked with us for about 5 min and seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say. Reds fans are happy to have him.
John Sadak is the best! Other teams play by play guys are BORING compared to him. Jeff Brantley, Chris Welsh, and Tommy Thrall are also great at their job too. Reds are blessed with such a great crew of announcers!
@@tannermikal2Agreed. Cincinnati is the type of market MLB needs to succeed if it’s going to adapt and thrive in an age where the game is increasingly irrelevant to the general culture. It’s sad how far baseball has fallen into being just a niche in the American social conscience.
Wonderful interview, and wonderful description of a young Elly. This guy is really a good story teller and is very descriptive with his words and the way he tells Elly’s story. Great interview! Journalism is alive and well; sometime, especially when I hear interviews like this!!! Great job guys!!!
"That ball had a family!!" will live on in INFAMY!! I was DYIN' when he said that...that was absolute gold. He's awesome. One of my favorite announcers, for sure.
👏👏👏.... Congrats Cincinnati,You have a special player in Elly ,I saw the highlights of that Braves 1st game ,It was incredible, plus the other Reds players are stepping up to ,Keep it up
ATTENTION RED'S MANAGEMENT......DON'T F THIS UP!!!!!! You've tanked us enough, and the God's still gave us lightning in a bottle. Do right by the team and the fans moving forward ❤
You know how the reds are… I’ve lived in Cincinnati for 40 years and all of our good talent ends up playing for the Dodgers or other teams later in their careers. We can never keep our talent together. We are always getting rid of players, especially when they’re worth money.
@fatkat311 exactly! They turned us into a f'n farm team 🤦🏾 But I'm really hoping with the Bengal buzz, the FC buzz and this random Reds buzz that they have to do us right or they'll lose complete support.
Havent had this much fun following a reds season since 1999. Both teams had a certain magic about them. Unfortunately the 99 squad got Al Leiter'd in the one game playoff
The Reds are fun again. It's great to see. But...not to be a Debbie Downer...they absolutely NEED pitching. Right now, at the break, the Reds have a team ERA of 4.87. That's 27th out of 30 in MLB. And while they undoubtedly have a great offense, asking that offense to produce that much is asking too much. The good news here is that Greene and Lodolo SHOULD be ready to go sometime in August -- hopefully, earlier, than later. But I'm not sure they can weather the storm that long.
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HE HIT THE BALL, HE HIT THE BALL. HE HIT THE BALL AND ANOTHER PLAYER SCORED AM I DREAMING THIS OR DID THAT JUST HAPPEN????? I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST WITNESSED ONCE AGAIN A BALL WAS HIT FOR A BASE HIT AND A PLAYER ON THIRD WENT HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND HE SCOREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.YES YES,YES,YES,YES AND NOW THE REDS ARE ONLY 8 RUNS DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH WITH 2 OUTS!
I hope they aren’t building this young guy up to Ricky Henderson/ Derek Jetter/ Barry Bonds levels at 20 years old or so. That’s a huge burden for a young guy. He does have of the chart talent.
Not remotely comparable to Lin. Lin's appeal was being so out-of-nowhere, which is a phenomenon that just doesn't happen in basketball. De La Cruz has been a heavily-hyped and highly-rated prospect.
I've never seen anything like this with all the players, especially the young guys. With the Reds, FC Cincinnati in first place in the MLS and the Bengals, it's a good time to be a Cincinnati sports fan.
I don't speak for all Reds fans but I've absolutely loved hearing John Sadak call some incredible moments this year. Easily the most fun year in Reds baseball in over a decade.
Best off field move the Reds have made in decades.
I think he’s terrific. He’s had several memorable calls already this year.
I’m so glad he’s our announcer. I just didn’t want to assume that every fan agrees with me, but I think the vast majority does. Also seems like a great dude.
I much more prefer him over Thom Brennaman
"That ball had a family!!" will live on in infamy. Absolutely hilarious. 🤣
I'm from Auckland, NZ and this guy makes Reds games better to listen and watch- thank you Sir for showing me the enjoyment of this game so much.
This is the most fun ive had as a baseball fan in years, and John's calling has contributed to that so much.
Reds fans will all tell you, we LOVE John Sadak. He is a GEM.
"It's a cyyyyyyyyyyyyccccccclllllleeeeeeee!!!!!"
@elbob17sometimes I feel like Chris welsh is sitting there like STFU when sadak is talking about certain things lol but i think he does good
Miss Marty brnnimen and nuxhaull but he will do
@@jasonhale3998Joe long ago rounded third and headed for home. 😢 Marty was just the best for a long, long time.
even as a cardinals fan and not a reds fan, he's awesome
That ball had a family! Love my Reds and Sadak! Go Reds!
John Sadak just sounds like he loves baseball when hes calling a game and its contagious.
Easily the coolest moment I've ever seen in baseball
De La Cruz is the reason why I came back to baseball ❤

Easily the best Reds line up I've ever seen (1997 - 2023) New Red Machine!
New Red Machine !!! Love that.. they are so exciting to watch it’s what Cincinnati has been dying for and good for baseball in general!

This kid is the real deal…God keep him healthy
“He stole 2nd, 3rd, and hooooommme!”
Love it John :)
Homering after the bat check & pointing to the thing saying "y'all might wanna check it again ;)" - my favorite moment so far 😎😎
I’m not even a Reds fan but i love watching them play those young boys are balling
One thing about the Reds we will always have good announcers.
Facts they take pride in that for sure. Listening to other teams makes me realize how good the reds broadcast really are
"That ball had a family!!" will live on in INFAMY!! I was DYIN' when he said that...that was absolute gold. He's awesome. One of my favorite announcers, for sure.
He's not my son and I feel proud of the way you guys talk about him!!
Best announcer in the MlB
👏👏👏.... Congrats Cincinnati,You have a special player in Elly ,I saw the highlights of that Braves 1st game ,It was incredible, plus the other Reds players are stepping up to ,Keep it up
The only person enjoying Elly's performance as much as Elly? John Sadak.
That be Joey Votto too
John Sadak’s arrival signaled the change in the Reds franchise we are seeing now.
Best team my Braves played this year, Reds are really good and fun to watch
ATTENTION RED'S MANAGEMENT......DON'T F THIS UP!!!!!! You've tanked us enough, and the God's still gave us lightning in a bottle. Do right by the team and the fans moving forward ❤

ABSOLUTELY

@@TrendSettaRico I hope you’re right.
What a great young core players the reds have this season they've been so exciting to watch
It's funny how at the beginning of the season there were reports how Reds' attendance is too low
Havent had this much fun following a reds season since 1999. Both teams had a certain magic about them. Unfortunately the 99 squad got Al Leiter'd in the one game playoff
The shutout. Then the no-hitter against Philly in 2010
Happy for the Reds…..it’s been a while.
Kinda like Joe burrow in Cincinnati! Big quiet swag ❤️❤️❤️

I mean they did drafted a top quslity pitcher in the draft
Love Votto but once hes off the books itll open up so much money for pitching and depth.
Attn Yankee ownership , when you cut the check in a couple of years make sure Mr. Sadak is included in the deal . Best HR call I can think of ..ever .
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HE HIT THE BALL, HE HIT THE BALL. HE HIT THE BALL AND ANOTHER PLAYER SCORED AM I DREAMING THIS OR DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?????

I haven't watched this much this baseball in Cincinnati, probably since 1990.
Trade Elly for Hotani? 🤪🤪
Ehh...this kid is Jetemy Lin basically..he will come back to earth in a month or two then be ruined after the hype train just like Lin..😂
Horrible comparison / hater take
Not remotely comparable to Lin. Lin's appeal was being so out-of-nowhere, which is a phenomenon that just doesn't happen in basketball. De La Cruz has been a heavily-hyped and highly-rated prospect.
bought his rookie card for $15 2 and a half weeks ago and the same card is $37
I've never seen anything like this with all the players, especially the young guys. With the Reds, FC Cincinnati in first place in the MLS and the Bengals, it's a good time to be a Cincinnati sports fan.
