I didn't think so, but yeah, some of these lineup moves don't make any sense. They're relying it seems on nothing but analytics from a fan of another team who hates the Reds..
Bell was just on the radio today saying that the bullpen is in excellent shape today. It’s funny how they go from needing a complete game to having everyone available in 12 hours. Regardless of who pitched, that was the only chance the team had to win the game. Mahle didn’t pitch much longer anyways.
