[HammerTime]

Votto needs another off day and Kemp still 4th. Oyyyyy!

[NebraskaRed]

I know the word was that Votto and some others would be getting more days off, but I'm a little surprised by how many days so early in the season

[Wonderful Monds]

There’s basically no reason to ever hit Jose Iglesias 5th.

[mth123]

Lefty on the mound, Votto, Winker and Dietrich all sitting. Wonder why Barnhart is playing instead of Casali.

[bleedsred]

Not a fan on the lineup, Votto needs the reps to get the bat going. Does rest really matter in April if the season is toast by June?

[Sea Ray]

I never support batting the pitcher 8th but what is Bell's rhyme and reason for when he does that? I haven't figured it out

[KeefeCato]

Left hander on the mound so they must pull as many Left hand hitters as possible. Horrible lineup. Castillo better throw a shutout and hope someone hits a bomb.

[Tom Servo]

Reds are gonna smoke em :pimp:

[Ironman92]

I’ll say it again. The best hitters need to be in the lineup. This lineup is LOADED with out makers.

So they’ll probably score eleventy runs

I don’t want to see any lineups without Votto or Winker...ESPECIALLY when Suarez, Puig, Kemp, Peraza, Iglesias aren’t hitting

[Red Raindog]

Just another puzzling decision by Bell

It only makes sense when there is a struggling lead-off type who you want directly in front of the top of the order without the pitcher making an out in between them (Billy Hamilton is a guy who should always hit 9th). It keeps them in a lead-off role, but prevents them from getting the extra PA actually leading off would give them. On this team, it only makes sense when Peraza hits 9th behind the pitcher. Anybody else besides the pitcher in the 9 hole is just Bell trying to look progressive when he's really an old school third generation guy.

[TheBigLebowski]

Dusty Specials were more formidable. Bad enough we have to play Kemp, but does he have to hit cleanup?

[Mitri]

The bottom line with lineup is it needs our lord and savior, Nick Senzel. Pushing both Kemp and Schebs to the end of the bench should do the offense wonders.

Could be a Castillo thing? Who has caught his other starts.

I applaud Bell for mixing it up early, and am fine with the Votto rest. With Joey, I don’t it is 100% Bell’s decision. There is input from the player and he knows he needs work in the cage and to reset some things in his head.

[malcontent]

Wonder why Barnhart is playing instead of Casali.
Agreed. Casali should be in there vs. the lefty.

[Ron Madden]

This from reds.com might help explain Bells reasoning on pitcher batting 8th and his use of Duke.


Pitcher bats eighth again
Bell put his pitcher in the No. 8 spot of the lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani batted ahead of second baseman Jose Peraza on Friday. The previous night, pitcher Tanner Roark was ahead of catcher Tucker Barnhart, who delivered a two-run home run from the nine hole.

The idea, Bell said, is to put a hitter ahead of leadoff batter Joey Votto when the lineup turns over and create RBI opportunities for the top of the order.

[Sea Ray]

I'm not a fan of batting the pitcher 8th 'cause I think that prematurely snuffs out rallies but I do agree that lineup construction is likely overblown

[KronoRed]

Can't wait till Senzel comes up and sits vs every tough righty.

[Crumbley]

Iglesias in the 5 hole makes me feel very silly for thinking they’d flirt with .500.

[757690]

I'm not a fan of batting the pitcher 8th 'cause I think that prematurely snuffs out rallies but I do agree that lineup construction is likely overblown

One of the forces behind it is that starters rarely go deep intro a game, and rarely get more than two AB’s a game before they are pinch hit for.

[adkindo]

:bang:

[Kc61]

Lefty on the mound, Votto, Winker and Dietrich all sitting. Wonder why Barnhart is playing instead of Casali.

Because there’s another lefty tomorrow.

So that will be Casali’s game.

[mth123]

Good answer. Wonder if Kemp will play again. Too much Kemp for me so far.

[Ohiohaybaler]

That’s a happy 420 day lineup.

LOL. Maybe Bell visited Don Guellett's farm today.

[The Operator]

We're sitting Votto and Winker against a lefty with an ERA of nearly 5?


Okey doke.

[RED VAN HOT]

Tomorrow's lefty is over 5.

[GADawg]

I’ve been waiting all day to watch Votto especially since he made the change to stand taller in the box....if Farmer doesn’t Pipp him Votto is fixin’ To take off big time

[malcontent]

"The idea, Bell said, is to put a hitter ahead of leadoff batter Joey Votto when the lineup turns over and create RBI opportunities for the top of the order."

Interesting strategy, but Bell used Peraza.

:D

[mamell]

So in some kind of logic I simply don't get Peraza is actually hitting 9th after going through the lineup twice and someone pinch hits and walks? Otherwise he's hitting leadoff? Shoulda just traded back for Billy.. At least he would have offered some defensive prowess and some speed on the basepaths.. On this team he might have been leading with his perpetual .215 BA.. a regular Ted Williams..

[mamell]

Woo freakin hoo.. This is the beginning of the end of Peraza's slide unless he slides more in which case I'm just wasting computer bytes over the interwebz..

[NebraskaRed]

from those that didn't see, Votto has some tightness in his back, thus he's out of the lineup

[Tony Cloninger]

LOL. Maybe Bell visited Don Guellett's farm today.

So that’s why Don had so many arm problems.

[Tadasimha]

See? Told ya! Told ya! Nananana..

[757690]

Line drive in the box score.

[mamell]

Laure has a great pickoff move so lets hope Peraza doesn't doze off..

[Ironman92]

Still want wondering the % of hits by Peraza that fall in front of OF/Behind IF

That hit was fair due to Myers robbing him yesterday...but it doesn’t seem like Peraza has 5 hits a season over an OF that doesn’t go for a HR. I don’t believe he has one this year yet.

Chris Davis started off the season for the Orioles breaking the all time hitless streak.....he is now batting .140. Schebler barely has a better average than Davis.

Kyle Farmer really should be in Louisville

if we are going to platoon Barnhart and Casali, would it be beneficial to just having them assigned to starting pitchers?

[Ron Madden]

Kyle Farmer really should be in Louisville

He’ll probably go down whenever Senzel gets called up

Not the greatest 2nd inning in Reds history there..unless you count striking out looking silly as greatness.

Luis Castillo looking a little tired in the 4th after hitting is a lot different than Disco (a guy who was terrible last year and has arm issues) looking tired in the 6th.

Well that blows my rant to heck.

[adkindo]

I have a lot of friends who are die hard Dodger fans....so I watched a decent amount of Machado last year after the trade. He is really one of the most talented baseball players I have ever watching....just pure natural ability. That said, my guess he plays well below his potential, because dude is lazy....and I cant imagine him working on his craft like many of the greats in the offseason. Even seeing him out of uniform....no muscle, kind of sloppy build for a young baseball player.

[Big Klu]

I wouldn't say it was Farmer's fault, but I'm struggling to see what it is that he does well. He certainly isn't fast.

He has four gloves in his locker, and that has value on a club with only four spots on the bench. He also has shown that he can occasionally run into a long ball. Remember, he is a replacement on the roster due to injury.

Crazy to think that, arguably, the two biggest non-Votto cornerstones of this franchise were acquired for bad spare parts, and the biggest trade chips we’ve sold off recently (Frazier, Chapman and Cueto) yielded Peraza, an average player in Schebler and chaff.
