i'm still impressed david bell had some kind of awakening after the fourth game of the season in regard to shogo. first four games, shogo only started two of them and didn't bat leadoff in any of them.
since then, shogo has been listed as the leadoff hitter every game, including two games that got postponed.
all snark aside, i would bet my life someone from the front office instructed bell to play shogo nearly every day and to bat him leadoff. i think reasonable minds would agree that bell's approach to shogo the first four games compared to his approach now is a drastic change, especially in such a short period of time. what suddenly changed so much for bell in the way he views shogo's role? it's pretty obvious, imo.
How much time between games anyone know?
Rony Garcia never pitched above AA before this year...I fully expect him to channel Cy Young today.

Thom with his “that’s all we are legally allowed to say” about Votto is comical.

Matt Adams sure would have looked nice at 1B in game 1...
