Luis Urias (R)3B with a .364 avg in 11 ABs vs. Mahle shows to be in the #9 spot in the order.

well, I guess the people that wanted to give Votto a day off , wish granted.. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just a comment.
Woodruff is a tough pitcher, but Mahle has the talent to match his effort.
Obviously, Brewers have a huge advantage on offense.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Gonna increase our win total by 33.3% tonight
Reds are a team of 7-8-9 hitters
Lesse...Moose at 3B and Moran at 1B, or the reverse? Though that may be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Still, I think I'd go with Drury at 3B, Lopez at 2B and Moose to the bench (or to 1B, but then you lose Moran).
Moustakas at 3B is the cherry on top of this sundae, IMO, and should no longer be an option.

Moose really should be DH, he’s awful on D. I guess we’re going to try and hammer out our money from him on both sides of the ball, winning be damned.

Yeah, he's a natural DH. If he could only hit, that is.Originally Posted by Bungles4Lyfe

Votto has been placed on the Covid IL
REDREAD (05-04-2022)
So if Votto had been the catcher the last few days he could play today.
Is Moran so bad at 3rd, you put Moose there instead? That's mind-boggling.

David Bell said Joey Votto has not tested positive for COVID, but he did report symptoms today.
“We’re precautionary as far as being able to put him on that COVID IL, which is really a day-to-day thing,” Bell said.
Yeah, I'm also puzzled at not using him in that role. Of course, he's not doing that well at the plate either...
I wonder if this is what MLB had in mind when they instituted the rule.

I would rather they move Farmer to catcher than use Kolozsvary again, and bring up a minor leaguer to play shortstop.
"Small hyperbole "
Definitely DH Moustakas. Ughhh. I feel that David Bell has been dealt a bad hand, but it sometimes seems like he doesn't know how to play his cards.
May the Lord bless
