Cubs at Reds 4/2 - 4/3

Starting pitching isnt so bad so far, but now the Cubs are in town. Need to split this series.

Also, why is Mondays game at 4:10pm?

Why are we letting @plantmanky start another series thread over the debacle of this weekend lol

It was like watching hunters clubbing harp seals.

At the very least he should be sent to Triple-A, but I'm not against giving him his outright release. :lol2:

Who is Pennington? The starting SS today.

A guy that, in 1 pinch hit appearance, has 1 more hit than our regularly starting SS has through the first 3 games.

Winker RF

Pennington SS

Votto 1B

Gennett 2B

Suarez 3B

Duvall LF

Barnhart C

Hamilton CF

Mahle P

Still playing Hamilton. Amazing. That guy needs to be a late inning replacement or pinch runner and play maybe 2 times a week.

Each of the 4 are going to play 3 of every 4 games.

Pennington is a veteran utility guy who is a solid defensive shortstop that the Reds picked up in the offseason and he played his way onto the roster in spring training. I have no problem with him replacing Peraza in the lineup today. Peraza didn't look like a major league player at the plate or in the field in that first three game series.

Big issue with him being on the roster is they have two guys in the minors that completely outplayed him this spring that are more versatile. Those guys are in AAA. Doesn't make much sense to me since Pennington and Gosselin are essentially the same player.
