00:00All right, let's move on now to Elie Dela Cruz, again, from a fantasy perspective, a great player, from a wagering perspective, a really fun player, actually did something that is going to give us some names from the past.
00:12Elie Dela Cruz now a part of history. What do you do?
00:14Yeah, Elie Dela Cruz, very exciting player. Hopefully this Reds offense of this weekend is starting to show some signs of life.
00:21Oh my goodness, there was three straight games and they lost 1-0. If they had won more in a row, they would have tied an all-time Major League record for most 1-0 losses in consecutive days. Crazy stuff there.
00:32Elie Dela Cruz, third career game with three plus extra base hits and at least one stone base. That's the most such games by any player, turning 24 since 1900.
00:41It breaks a tie with two Hall of Famers who also happen to know something about maybe, you know, the big red machine here. Joe Morgan, he was pretty good, and Orlando Cepeda, another great player there.
00:53So, great situation here for the Reds to have a young player like Elie Dela Cruz. He's gotten off to a fine start. Two steals, two homers, you know, he's kind of just Ellie-ing around.
01:02Ellie will get red hot. He'll have massive weeks or massive months and then he'll get a little cold. He can be a little streaky sometimes, but that comes with the evolution of a young player.
01:11But Elie Dela Cruz, very special, and we start mentioning things that he's doing in that same breath as guys like Joe Morgan. That's some special, rarefied air for sure.
