^ Like I said in that Bruce thread on ORG, the Reds just don't have any good choices to replace Bruce. Even for a couple of nights its not good.

Someone needs to make a Missing poster for Boesch. Even if he doesn't get a start in RF, he hasn't had much of any chance to pinch hit.

Bruce is 2 for 15 lifetime vs Bumgarner. Its a decent day to give him off.

Everyone had to know Bruce wasn't facing Bumgarner so Boesch probably hid in his locker
Bruce is batting (proportionally) 2 for 10.5 on the season. You could argue that.....never mind, draw your own conclusion.
There's no way on earth Boesch was going to play against Bumgarner, that's a given. But, to go from being the hottest hitter on the team in Spring to having received 25 at-bats this season when Bruce is hitting .160 or whatever just doesn't make much sense.
Boesch actually has hit lefties better than righties in his career.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Not going to lie I put money on the Giants tonight. Only way I could see the Reds even having a shot in a Marquis vs. Bumgarner match up.
That's true.
I never put too much stock in a lefty batter hitting lefty pitchers better than righty pitchers. I think in many cases that tends to normalize over time.
Not doubting the numbers or statements at all. I saw the stats, certainly accurate, you're right.
But I wouldn't use Boesch against a good lefty like Baumgartner on that basis. Since Mes can't play the field now, I probably would have used the same lineup as Price. Just my way of thinking.

Classic Marquis.
