my god, winker does not need a day off. tinkerbell just can't get out of his own way. one bad game does not take away from the fact that he's been perhaps the hottest hitter in baseball over the last 3 weeks.
Why not Geno at 1st, India at 2nd, Farmer at SS and Senzi at 3rd...doesn’t that make more sense defensively?

Kinda love this lineup if you have to give Wink a breather.
Hoffman just needs to keep it in the park.
Really want this W
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
It's probably just a scheduled day off for Wink.
Nothin ' to go all Aunt Bea over.
No problem giving Wink a day off. He didn’t look his best yesterday. And Coors’ big outfield isn’t a great match for him defensively.
But it’s noteworthy how Reds rest top guys like Cast and Winker - yet Suarez plays virtually every single day.
Suarez has the most PAs on the team. He is in the middle of the lineup every day. And he is hitting below .150.
I’m guessing that it’s an organizational decision, he’s highly paid, he plays whether he hits or not.

I think it's a Bell decision. He's like Dusty. You reward your regulars who are playing badly. To show them you have faith in them. That's why Castillo was moved up in the rotation. He's one of the worst starters in MLB right now.
Suarez is terrible right now. He should be playing every other day and low in the lineup.

Let's count the number of times today a weak defensive play costs a free baserunner or a base advanced.

David Bell says this is a scheduled off day for Jesse Winker.
“Not easy to take Wink out of the lineup, but also very important."
David Bell on Nick Senzel at third base today: “He has been staying ready, getting work in. Today is the day to give it a shot… He wants to do it, that’s the big thing."

I'm hoping we see Warren in relief today. Get a little evaluation on what we have there. Unscored upon in his first outing (one inning) but had 2 walks.

I imagine Perez will be send down tomorrow. Moose maybe on IL tomorrow as well if he can't play by then. Tom pointed out the other day in a thread that Feliz could not join the club until he passed Covid tests. So he probably joins tomorrow on the homestand and Perez goes back to Louisville.
