Can we please change the thread title to "Welcome to the Elly De La Cruz Show"?

That's an awesome photo. When I see it I can hear Sadak going nuclear.
Saw some commenters today saying LED still has a chance to leap Carrol in RoY because Carrol is facing some health issues.
I think I'll just call him Elly

I wanted "The Demon's Head" to stick for Iglesias. Nicknames are organic. Some work, some don't.

I like "Cheat Code" as a nickname for EDLC.

Q: Is De La Cruz the Greatest Show on Earth?
Well, this is still a world where Ohtani exists and Acuna is putting up a historic power/speed season, so for now let's say De La Cruz is the most exciting show east of the Mississippi and north of Atlanta. He's like a switch-hitting Eric Davis who plays shortstop with 80-grade raw power, 80-grade speed and an 80-grade throwing arm -- all in the body of an NBA shooting guard. His talent bends the mind.
De La Cruz's call-up jump-started the Reds to that 12-game winning streak that rocketed them from Nowheresville to first place in the NL Central. Players like TJ Freidl, Jake Fraley and rookie Matt McLain have been huge contributors. As fun as the first half has been, I can't give them an A+ since the starting pitching has generally been atrocious -- 28th in the majors with a 5.69 ERA. That has to step up in the second half.
Somebody should create an Elly version of the Reds’ Running Man logo.

There are so many monickers that we could come up with for the Belting Boneman. I quite like the fan-created LED (Little Ebullient Devil) but I think I’m going to stick with the Singing Skeleton’s official suite of nicknames out of respect for the Crooning Cadaver and what he’s done on the field so far in his scareer.

Was #1 every day that the Dodgers or Yankees played a game?
the question is for me number of fans in seats to actually watch the new sensation. The Reds should hire the individuals who plan the World Tours of Taylor Swift etc. How to get the younger generation who attend concerts to enjoy (and be able to talk about) being at a game, and witnessing, telling their friends.
the knowledgable and quality members of this board appreciate good baseball, the marketing I would promote are to the much younger generation who focus on star-power.
