Another lefty. Might not be as easy today. Crochet off to a good start. But I haven't dove into his stats very deep.

Chisox pitcher has good numbers, especially against lefties (LHH career .527 OPS against).

Hence, Reds lineup with all RHH and switch hitters. No Benson, for example.

Hopefully Reds can pull this one out.

Would expect Nick Martinez to follow Lodolo today.

Still think Stephensons career OPS of 803 against lefties should get him some looks, over Lukes 661 career OPS against lefties. Oh well, maybe Lodolo likes Luke catching him.

Would like to see a sweep against the Weak Sox. Go Reds!

Bell must have the faith that can move mountains in the Candy man to keep batting him 4th. LOL

Luke has a .578 against righties lifetime, so Bell has some incentive to play him against the lefties.

And Maile, small sample, hit .755 against lefties last season.

But it would be nice to have Stephenson hit against lefties more often.

Good point. I didn’t realize Luke was that terrible against righties. Maybe at least splitting time against lefties could be an option, depending on matchups and days needed off.

Stephenson DH, India in the OF and Bubba to the bench.

I wonder if India to the OF is over now? Even when the infielders return?

Steer, Fairchild, India would be one of the worst defensive OFs I’ve ever seen. They don’t want to do that to poor Lodolo.

I’m gonna have to agree there and India has yet to play one inning in the OF. Like Keefe said, he may not see the OF this year
