Remember a few years ago, there was a guy on the game thread that would always say "this is a must win game"?
Not making fun of him, just a memory.. Today is a must win game though

This is a must start game.

Probably pre-planned to get Naquin one game this series. With Winker and Cast in the corners, Senzel is the one who makes room for others.

Where is the DH rule when you need it?

Pre planned is stupid...like that can’t be changed? Really? He is an inept idiot.

Managers don't bench guys for striking out in MLB, the K rate per nine averages over 9 currently, this is not travel ball, guys strike out in peak situations in every game played, every day of the year

Suarez has struck out like 34 times in 70 plate appearances. It’s not because of one at bat.

Bell is adept at always keeping guys from staying in any kind of groove or rhythm. He could screw up a...well, you know...

Especially with young players. Let them know they are there to stay and if they play well they are in.

It was because of two in the post I quoted

I doubt Bell wants to change this decision. It’s fair to give Naquin one game in a series, he’s done some damage offensively this year.

I’m a Senzel fan but it’s an understandable move IMO.

Now that the game is on, and Winker has hit, I want to give him kudos for improved defensive play this year.

Carry on.

Votto is ice cold. Hope it doesn’t last long. He was looking really good.

He’s got a .893 OPS in the last week, not too worried about it yet

Suarez watches a straight fastball for strike 3. Bell, please sit him down.

[TheBigLebowski]

Suarez struck out. Huh. Haven’t seen him do a lot of that

I agree. I am impressed that he's improved other facets of his game. He's definitely faster this year too.

I feel like they’ve worn these terrible spring training looking jerseys 99% of the time this year. Maybe that’s why they’re losing now, they should stop.
