So assuming this must be against a LHP and Puig is still hurt I would have gone with:

Senzel CF
Iglesias SS
Suarez 3B
Votto 1B
Farmer 2B
Casali C
Ervin RF
Peraza LF
Gray P

Honestly though it is a tough one to group those guys and I can see the argument for so many options.

.549 lifetime OPS against lefties for Jesse.

That said, Reds could use a RH hitting outfielder to platoon with Winker and, sometimes, spell Votto against lefties. Somebody who destroys LHP. Maybe Ervin could get there, someday.

The personnel against lefties isn’t that good and without Puig (at least on paper) even worse.

Alabama
05-21-2019, 04:14 PM
That lineup really is depressing. It only has 2 guys who I expect to be a part of the future, well 3 with Votto but no excitement there. Senzel and Suarez. We need some primo young talent to get excited about and who will be around for a while.

Oh wow, his entire LIFETIME against lefties is .549? Wow that is terrible! That must be a huge sample size.

Winker is 7-42 with 1 BB over his last 10 starts (11 games)
Puig is banged up
Dietrich has strong platoon splits

Ervin has strong platoon splits which makes a good replacement for Puig, who isn't crushing the ball anyway.
Farmer is crushing lefties so far this year (SSS alert)

Not sure what all the fuss is about.

I feel like right now we should be trying to win as many games as possible. We can let Winker gather more experience against lefties when we are out of it.

It’s not “oh wow” but that’s his MLB career against lefties. I’d use a larger sample, but that’s it at the big league level. 122 PAs and .549 OPS. Reds also have his minor league numbers, they see him in practice, they made their decision. Winker plays sparingly against lefties.

I’d guess if it was .849 in 122 PAs he’d be playing more against lefties.

Really, after the first three. It’s pretty jarring to see Ervin - whose been at AAA mostly - hitting cleanup.

But some of them have done ok in the early going. Farmer seems to homer every time I watch him. Derek Johnson should have the “book” on Gio who pitched for him some of last season. Looking for a victory.

Only change I would make is Farmer at 1b and Dietrich or Van Meter at 2b. You're forced to start a lefty somewhere because of our roster, but Dietrich has proven to be better in a very small sample size that Winker or Votto who have been terrible.

Right, but that was a good job. Gray hung tough with men on base. Roark seems to do that well, as did Arroyo, who was a master at it.

I agree. Sometimes he seems to get stuck with whatever his original plan was even if it's not working. If he wants to try and get the batter to swing low and away, he'll keep throwing it there even if the batter isn't swinging.

On Ervin, he’s 26 and will be 27 during this season. First round draft choice. Has improved in last couple years, as announcers just said. Did real well with Reds last year.

I guess there was a roster issue with Kemp, but IMO doesn’t make sense for him to be at AAA. Should stay.

Peraza seems to lose confidence when he slumps. Slumps tend to be long, he loses any semblance of patience.

If you take away the 9 shut out innings Peralta has thrown against the Reds this year his numbers are incredibly bad. The league has not struggled against him at all. Be nice to see the Reds join in on the fun here soon.

3-0 lead in the 6th starting with a pitcher at less than 90 pitches. And this is the debate.

After the bloop hit by the pinch hitter, Moustakas smoked a single to CF then Braun hit one that Senzel ran down at the wall in CF to end the inning

I found it funny that Brantley was trying to make a point earlier that he believes Peraza can hit up here and didnt have time because he got out so quickly. Not that I disagree with him but some games he is just a non factor. Making 3 or 4 outs on like 5 pitches is tough to swallow.

Always annoys me when people call out those who say "my" or "our" team. When they take the field, the PA guy says "And now YOUR Cincinnati Reds..."
The fans pay the bills and the entire city/county subsidize the stadium.

Nothing wrong with that...
