Very happy to see Moose in there hitting cleanup and Geno given a breather. Really hope Votto is about to bust out of his slump and get it going again. Pray the bullpen won't implode with Antone being unavailable.

Was in bed for the game last night. Got up this morning to read the win....and the debacle with Garrett.....incredible that Bell still goes to him in tight games. Is Bryan Price and Bell related? Also, Garrett has got to go. Trade him, don't use him, bench him, make him chart pitches.....but please, DO NOT let him near the mound and rosin bag with Reds in a game late.

I am simply referring to right this moment. Suarez and Farmer both have horrible bats right now. Suarez is a negative defender at SS (like worst in baseball negative), Farmer is average. At this exact moment I think Farmer hurts the team less, also Bell won’t be tempted to bat Farmer cleanup like he would Suarez. In no way am I saying Farmer is good or even mediocre. Suarez out of the lineup on April 27, 2021 is addition by subtraction.

Hate seeing Winker following Farmer and the Pitcher (and nobody in his first plate appearance). Total waste.

Bell needs to grow a pair and bat Blandino at leadoff, Winker 3rd, and Votto 6th or 7th.

At least he sat Senzel and that guy who wears a SS glove (unless he still has his 3rd Baseman's glove), but doesn't know how it functions.

I knew he’d get this start, as soon as Moose came back, as for Farmer he’s not gonna be DL’d he’s the Swiss Army knife of the team, unfortunately his blade is broke

Who is the worst SS in MLB?

As long as Geno doesn’t hit it’s got to be him.

His glove and range introduced him to the conversion and his bat should be what saves him from it

We’re talking about a half season of combined stats at this point where Geno is hitting sub .200. That warrants one day off where Farmer should start over him at bare minimum.

Fangraphs SS Defensive rankings. I think it was the Dodgers announcers.

None of this matters. You're trying to use statistics to reason why Suarez should play every day, pulling out stats that are 19 to 24 months old. There are two hundred posters here who could disect those old statistics and find red flags in them that would have predicted his poor production the three months he's played real games since then. It's only three months, but there's 16 months unaccounted for that he has spent warping his mind so badly that he's not good enough to play Single-A baseball right now.

And, that's what we are talking about. It's not a slump. He is wrecked mentally. His approach to at-bats have no baseball IQ behind it. He's a trainwreck.

Senzel needs to go back to the minors. All of his stints on the DL the last three years completely destroyed his learning curve. He needs to go back to basics and fix a lot of things.

Fangraphs defensive value actually has 4 SS worse than him. I'm not blaming you for their information. Just putting that out there

There aren't 200 people on earth, let alone on this message board, that could have predicted Suarez would perform this poorly.

If you honestly don't think he could play single-A baseball right now, then we should just end this conversation because there is no common ground

They are awful. Possibly the worst Reds jersey of my lifetime. They look like batting practice jerseys. I really dislike the script "Reds" logo. The Reds should be either "Wishbone C-Reds", or arched block "Cincinnati".

I liked the old red jerseys from 2019 much better (the ones that were basically red negatives of the home jerseys).

In fairness he hadn’t walked more than 3 in a start before this one so it’s still the outlier. But yeah I don’t get how one could be particularly mad at Hoffman, he’s already exceeded low expectations and still hasn’t been blown up in this game.
