Maybe the media should start asking the tough questions, and we can then know where these lineup decisions are coming from instead of "wanting it to stop". I don't know, I tend to look for obvious solutions.

It's baffling to me because the front office that would be dictating that Suarez be in there is the same front office that signed Cabrera, ostensibly for games like this. I've stayed out of the lineup stuff pretty much all year, but my head hurts from all the scratching now.

I am sure Cabrera is happy to be on a team that is still in the playoff race. But at the same time he has to be scratching his head at lack of starts with all the LHP they been facing this past week.
Because it’s probably not Krall, it’s probably Castellini doing his idiot huckster act deciding the lineup based on who is the most fan favorite (and therefore more likely to sell tickets in his eyes), or getting their money’s worth for his contract, or something equally asinine and stupid.

SD is losing 6-0 to Arizona. So that’s good.

I can't understand why Bell doesn't hit Farmer second and Stephenson 5th to give Votto some protection.
If the Reds don't get into the playoffs, I see Bell fired at season end. Yes, he's gotten some of these guys to over-achieve, and was able to massage Votto into a brief resurgence, but putting some of these guys in day in and day out, to the detriment of the club's success, is a fireable offense.

Cabrera in his last 65 PA's - .206/.206/.309/.515 - No walks, no power.
There is a chance he's done or hurt.
