Would love to get a look at Aquino at 1st or RF. Seen enough of Dixon there to hold me over for a few games.

I hadn't thought about it but I guess Suarez is the backup SS. Apparently the great Deeeeeealson can't play SS although it looks like he can play 3B.
That's one way to spell Peraza.. Can't say Riggleman isn't creative.

Would take the off catcher playing 1B over Dixon

Free Aquino!
If Romano has a pitch that turns into fly balls to CF and RF, this is the game.
Quite a defensive group tonight.

I mean I know it's a joke and all, but it really is another sign of how he doesn't want to be there. He's so impatient for the game to be over that he's calling plays before they happen.

I don’t think anyone was saying anything more than they don’t mind that those guys are out there because they don’t seem like complete talentless wastes at the plate.

This is something I've harped on for years: the Reds bench players needed to be better. Nice to see guys who can contribute positively, instead of guys on their way out of the league.
