It's not Bell, it's the players, which means it's the front office not giving Bell the players he needs.

I know what the average is. I just pointed out that some pitchers are being allowed to go 3 times through the order with low pitch counts. This was one of those situations where you could have avoided an unreliable bullpen. I know what their numbers were last year too. I didn’t write everyone is going 6-7 innings.
No. It’s been Bell too at times. He knows Moose can’t field but there he is. Even with India out. He’s a DH only. Votto still hitting 4th.
