    i don't get the Shogo platoon thing -- he hit lefties pretty well in Japan. And I'm certain he's better in CF than Ervin.

    No word on Senzel? Kind of like Colon and Farmer getting starts here. Insert Shogo at top of the lineup when Lester's done.

    Ervin hit .349 and had 1.038 OPS against left handers last year. Can't leave that on the bench. Maybe he DH's instead of Colon. But Bell wants to start with a right handed lineup and bring Shogo in when Lester leaves.

    In Japan, Shogo hit .308/.392/.494 against RHP and .294/.393/.426 against LHP. He needs to be playing every day, especially with Senzel out. Let him hit against LHP until he proves he can't do it. I think Bell is getting too cute here.

    Oh for sure, yeah I meant to DH Ervin or Castellanos.

    Lineup sure looks thin without Shogo and Moustakas.

    And, please, you have to play Shogo over Colon. For real.

    Otherwise, the Reds have beat Lester around before. They can do it again tonight.

    Yep, I like that he plays the matchups and platoons...but when your other option is Colon, you gotta go with the better player.

    Re: Reds vs Cubs 7-27-20

    Has Aquino ever played LF in a game? I do think I would go with Ervin in LF, Shogo in CF and Aquino/Castellanos in RH/DH (or vice versa)....

    He played there briefly yesterday. I got no problem stacking the box with righties.

    It's just a day off from the starting lineup for Shogo Akiyama. He's available off the bench. Phillip Ervin (CF) and Aristides Aquino (LF) hit well vs. lefties. #Reds
