100% on EDLC. Boneheaded move by Marte, for sure, I won't dismiss that, but Lodolo got flat out hosed. He was tagged with five runs and that play should have ended it with none on the board. When it's finally time to show off his strong arm, he tries to be cute. I don't care what anyone says, he's a right fielder playing shortstop because the Reds suck and Bell doesn't have the balls to make the decision.
If he was coming up to a good team, he would play wherever they put him. India was a 3rd baseman in college and in the minor leagues. He had an unexpected hot Spring and then suddenly it was "Can you play 2nd base?" because they weren't going to move Suarez from 3rd. Elly's leading the league in physical errors and I'm guessing that he's leading the league in mental errors as well. What's the point in celebrating the balls that he can get to when he makes so many poor decisions when he does get to the ball?
But yeah, let's trade for a corner outfielder. I truly view it as if the Reds are playing a thinner, faster Yasiel Puig at short.
And speaking of newly acquired corner outfielders, horrible positioning by Rosario on the three run double by Brian De La Cruz. He was too shallow and the ball STILL should have been caught. He gave up on it too soon. He moved like he was super stoned out on that play. I really hope that Herd Of Bees learns how to hit in Winter ball.
