LHHs have success against Cease, .848 lifetime OPS. So Reds have bunched up their best three LHHs at 1, 3 and 4 in the lineup.

They should be able to score against this guy, the question is if they can hold the Pale Hose to some reasonable number of runs. Five decent innings from Hoffman would be a boost.

Jesse Winker has played 324 career games (exactly 2 full seasons!), the 94th to play his first 324 with the Reds. Of those 94, he ranks 12th in AVG (.287), 5th in OBP (.384), and 5th in SLG (.495). Only Kal Daniels (.310/.407/.524) & Joey Votto (.309/.389/.533) top him in all 3.

In CF going for a ball he gets a lot of momentum chasing the ball then when he dives there is a more violent collision with the ground or whatever. At 2B when you dive usually you don't have the momentum to have as violent a collision.

I agree , he's not good. To his credit, he's been adequate as a 5th starter. Yes, we knew the hitters would figure him out, but
I'm thankful we got 5-6 good starts out of him.
Problem is, if you put him in the bullpen, and then I assume you want Antone in the rotation,then Sims is the only reliable reliever Bell has.
So, not criticizing your idea, just saying that Bell has a thin staff.

It’s coming for Hembree.

Yep, the defense for filling the bullpen with awful pitchers.. "Relief pitching is volatile"..
Once again, Reds have a team that proves you can't just throw garbage pitchers against the wall and have sustained success.

Hoffman would be perfect for the eat innings bullpen role. He seemed to be consistently below average but never really a batting tee.

Yeah, this is why after his last start I began lobbying for the move. Make the bullpen better by moving Hoffman there, cutting JDL and Romano. Give Vlad a shot at SP, or Santillan, Lodolo. I think they want these guys to get some work in real minor league games but unfortunately the worst of the staff in Cincinnati can hold on that long.

I am even for giving Hoffman a couple more turns. But they have to get Sal and Jose out. Bring up Warren and Finnegan. If they don't wanna bring up kids. Who cares if they have options? If they get bombed no team will claim them anyway. They can always just stick them back in Louisville. If they get claimed no loss as I see it.

He's 28 years old and a bench player at best. None of the Reds bench players are good enough to be full time players. I wouldn't sweat it if any of the bench or bullpen (except for Antone) were lost by being sent down.

No effort from the Reds today. They threw out that "bottom of the bullpen ****". David Bell should have the top of AAA instead. As far as the offense. Good job Tucker Barnhart for trying. They didn't even try. They gave up after the first inning. Pathetic. Will never win with that attitude.
