Reds July Game Thread 2024

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Peak David Bell management.

Cruz in the 8th. Guy has given up a run, given up a run, blew a save, pitched an inning, went .1 innings, and now gave up some runs in his last 6 appearances.

Moll isn't giving up runs often, so naturally Bell has relegated him to a .1 inning guy. Sims has been good too, but he has a walk problem, so naturally he only comes in after there's a disaster and the bases are loaded. Insanity. Gotta put Cruz in there in high leverage so he can enjoy that 4.81 ERA after having a 4.91 last year.

EDIT: LOL! And then he puts Will Benson in to PH for Slater because Bell thinks batting from the right side of the plate is more important than being a good hitter. So naturally Benson strikes out to end the game.
