Reds

1. Shogo Akiyama (L) LF
2. Nick Castellanos (R) RF
3. Joey Votto (L) 1B
4. Eugenio Suarez (R) 3B
5. Jesse Winker (L) DH
6. Christian Colon (R) 2B
7. Tucker Barnhart (L) C
8. Freddy Galvis (S) SS
9. Travis Jankowski (L) CF

So does Jankowski hit right handers better than Ervin or Davidson (with Winker in LF)?

[mth123]

This is why guys like Jankowski shouldn't be on the roster. Aquino in LF and Shogo in CF would have been perfectly fine.

[UPRedsFan]

Looked it up. They are all 3 about the same Level of bad offense against rhp, but obviously it’s a better defense with him in CF. Colon over Farmer is interesting too. Must be a matchup thing

[UPRedsFan]

Shocked to see AA is about the same for his career against rhp or lhp. Would have been a good spot start for him.

[Ron Madden]

The Brewers lineup has been added to the original post

[DocRed]

Yikes this lineup. 2 guys that barely made the 30 man starting

this is not me being critical of david bell (for once) because i'm not sold on aquino either. but it is pretty obvious to me that david bell does not like aquino and views 8/19 as a fluke. otherwise, he would have made the opening day roster. otherwise, he would at least be getting more playing time than he has this year.

the only logical explanation is that bell no gusta aquino.

The roster is decided upon by more than just one Reds employee.

Geno’s next homer will be career no.150. He told media today he’s dedicating it to

Ya Jank starting over Aquino is insane to me and I'm really not a huge fan of Aquino. Jankowski will be lucky to hit to out of the infield today.

Will just be on the front office aren't they the ones that cut The punisher in December of 2018? So they must not have a very high opinion of him right?

Is it Bell or is it higher up the food chain? They added Castellanos and Akiyama to fill up the OF and for good measure signed Moose to ensure Senzel would stay out there too. Seems like its more than just Bell who didn't see a role for Aquino.

once aquino is on the team, which he has been for several games this year, it's bell's decision how much he plays. i'm sure the front office steps in occasionally in regard to playing time for players, but i seriously doubt they told david bell not to play aquino when he's on the team due to injuries to other players, etc.

what is clear to me, to your point, is both the front office and david bell are not fans of aquino. their actions speak this loud and clear.

Pretty much
