The 5th hitter is the worst everyday hitter in baseball. A month ago it didn't make sense. A month later it's embarrassing how much of a leash he's gotten. At least Lopez or Schrock would likely make contact.

Sigh. We will run ourselves out of contention with a black hole at the 5 spot in the order because…..who knows. Same thing happened when we kept running Puig out there on the cleanup spot till we were 15 games under.

I try not to climb on Bell too much because I think he's squeezed more wins than I thought this team was worth but this Suarez thing is harmful on two levels. #1 is that he's playing at all. We have other options. Schrock is the one we have now. #2 is where Suarez is in the lineup. If you must play him, bat him 8th. He's stranding far too many runners in the heart of our lineup. Why doesn't Bell see this? Particularly with Nick C out of the lineup, we can't afford outs from the #5 spot in the lineup.

Has any member of our Press questioned Bell on this?

Problem is it isn't just the 5 hole. Its the 5, 6, and 8 holes. Good thing Barnhart isn't playing,

The Reds will win another 30 games this season and I think one of them will be tonight. The season is over in early October for people that enjoy baseball. The season was over before it started for many people on here. It’s crazy a 47 year old father of two gets on here nightly to post with people he doesn’t know about the game he enjoys….it’s even crazier that an adult would get on here to post and be miserable doing so.

Every single post from that guy is bashing the players the manager or the team. According to him they haven't won a game all season. Votto has been making his outrageous posts about him look even more outrageous. Must really be fun at parties.
He has called for Votto to be benched. That tells you all you need to know about his baseball knowledge.

Going to have to score a pile of runs to win. Hembree is out for tonight. Guy has throwed several pitches last 4-5 days. I think that he was he blew up and walked the park last night. He is gassed. Brach hasn't been good when used back to back games. Santillan out for tonight most likely. Leaves pretty much nothing.
HR Rizzo tie game just like that. Really need to upgrade the 5 spot as well as the pen.

Vlad giving up the center cut liner to start game….then locates in Rizzo but what is a bad idea vs most lefties, and especially Rizzo? Fastballs on the low inner half. It’s a bad idea…I think Vlad threw it where they wanted it. Votto hit same pitch…lefties love it. Pitching there is not recommended.

Votto en fuego lol….ball is big and slow to him right now….and I love his HR trot and where he kinda Tatis’s it then runs fast home (we’ll fast for him)

Winker has his 20/5 vision back….raking!
