    He’s been surprisingly hard to hit.

    Basically hitters have been 2020 Votto against him.

    That's a top-five in the NL number stretched out to a full season in the majors.

    It is reality this season! It is a word that has a definition.

    Reality - the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

That's how you move from being a number five Starter to a number three or two.
    This is where I’m calling shenanigans.

    In 2018 he started 23 games and had a 5.25 FIP
    2019 he started 25 games and a had a 4.66 FIP

    That is not a small sample size.
    What would you say.....ya do here?

    My favorite nickname I’ve come up with for a Red:

    Danny “Dig Your Own” Graves

    no, I understood....just seeking thoughts on if you think Aquino may could provide more production in that roster spot as a bench bat / DH

    that was closer than many strikes this up has called
