if the Reds organization disagreed with Bell’s use of Aquino, they would overrule him.
I’m sure the front office is fully aware of fans’ opinions in favor of playing Aquino. Yet Reds are sticking to their view that he is a spot player at this stage.
They likely have information that supports their view. I doubt the decision is totally arbitrary. And in any event, with so few games remaining, it’s unlikely to change.
