Good to see the Wink back.

Very, very much not a fan of sitting Senzel while he’s as locked in as he is at the moment. First big galaxy brain moment of the season by Bell.

Agreed. My exact thoughts also....unless hes banged up with something, let the kid play....Naquin in late as a defensive replacement for either Wink or Cast.Originally Posted by Wonderful Monds

Was getting ready to post the exact same thing. Total head-scratcher. Bell overmanaging here.
Tyler is under strict groundball orders tonight.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
He's sitting for a guy who had 3 HRs and 8 RBIs in the last two games.
Not going to argue about who's the future, but if you're trying to win games and want to play the hot bat, nobody is hotter than Tyler Naquin.
Nice to see that we still have a couple of black holes camping out in the 3/4 spots in the lineup. Suarez is batting .111 (.202 last season) and Votto is batting .200 (.221 last season), but they still get the start while a guy like Senzel rides the pine at .356. Put Senzel in Center, Winker at 1st, and bat Suarez in the 8 spot. No reason to have both of these guys at two of the most important spots in the lineup night after night.
ETA: if Suarez is off the juice or whatever and all he can manage going forward is .200ish with no power, then the least we could do is bring up Garcia who can actually field the position and has potential. Bring on the future.

Widener, the DBacks pitcher, has allowed a .960 OPS against v LHH in a small sample.
That’s almost certainly why Naquin is playing CF over Senzel.
Looking around for his minor league splits, will add if I find them.

The D-backs lineup has been added to the original post
Widener? I hardly know ‘er!!
Phil Castellini puts the FUN in Trust Fund.

Yeah it's not like he's sitting for Jason Bourgeois or something.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Winker has never played first base. Try again.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
And? Neither had Pete Rose...until he was 37. I’m sure Winker could figure it out and it’s not exactly like he’d be replacing a decent fielder over there.
Tailor Widener is the byproduct of the union between a humble suit maker and a small college in southeastern Pennsylvania.
