Interesting that they called up Antone. Now you really can't put Farmer in the game unless it's to catch.

Anyone know where Bruce Berenyi was last night?

Would be interested to know Bell’s reasoning for removing Castellanos yesterday.
I wasn’t shocked, he’s an aggressive manager, maybe wanted to get Jankoski some reps, and his defense on the field.
But game wasn’t that close, and Nick is a star player on Opening Day. Didn’t seem like a defensive switch was necessary at that spot.
Probably will never hear it, but if somebody does, please post.

I hope Reds are not the team signing Josh Harrison.
Edit; It's the Nats. Interesting,

Wasn’t a blow out but it wasn’t exactly a nail biter. Four run lead, bottom seven, at home. You have a star player in his first Reds game, Opening Day. Bell had to know Nick wouldn’t be happy about that move.
Bell might have figured Nick was unlikely to hit again. He arguably was going for the jugular, wanted the steal and a sixth run right there.
I’d like to hear his answer. I doubt most managers would have done that, but I’m not criticizing until I know Bell’s reasoning.

jax red I was right here listening to davidson take aquino's spot and make multiple outs
I agreed with the decision. Until he proves he can play adequate defense and doesn't want to DH this is gonna happen. Now if the game was closer, you can't take his bat out. This season is about winning. Nick most likely wasn't gonna get another ab. Janokowski is faster and far superior on defense. Nick is a competitor of course he was not gonna be happy. If he proves he is better at defense this wont be necessary. Really a non issue at this point.
