Using your only other catcher at 1B seems to be asking for trouble, Farmer has been good against LHP but I'd just as soon give JVM the start there.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

what type of trouble? Just seeing if I am missing something, but if something happened to Tucker, then Farmer could just move to catcher? Are you suggesting if they both were injured?
Ron Madden (08-19-2019)
Yes. It also locks you in to needing both of them to play all 9 innings.

It doesn't. Barnhart could be subbed out in the 6th inning, Farmer slides to catcher, and JVM inserted to 1B after pinch-hitting vs a RHP

Yeah but I meant in terms of having a backup available. If you do that and Farmer takes a shot and needs to leave, then what?
I think playing Farmer against a LHP makes sense in a vacuum but even if the odds are long of it happening I don't know that those 2, maybe 3 ABs for Farmer against Lauer is worth the risk of having Brian O'Grady catching or something like that.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I don't think Bell will double switch either of them out.
yet another case when robot umps are needed. bauer had the 2hole hitter struck out.
Max Scherzer falls behind 3-0 and comes back and makes that 3-2 pitch on the black and he’s called an ace.
Bauer does the same and he’s a bum.
I for one welcome our robot overlords.

Max is very much an ace regardless and Bauer is not a bum regardless

I was looking at Lauer's splits, and he has been significantly worse on the road. He has a 3.10 ERA @ Home and a 6.20 ERA on the road. Also since the All Star break his overall ERA is 6.56 compared to 4.04 before the break. Too bad we are down a couple left handed bats in the lineup, because he has got rocked by left handed batters this year.
well, 2 years without missing a game and galvis has to sit for Bell. idiot!
Maybe nobody told Bell that Freddy switch hits
It's not like Farmer's bat is so good you need to get it into the lineup anyways. I know he has some use as a versatile backup catcher/infielder with some pop, but I feel like some really overrate him (especially in the Reds broadcast team)...he isn't really having that good of a year at the plate. Thom's constant"x RBI's in only x AB's!" comments aside.
