TribeTime Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Bell Is in year 5 with one playoff appearance in a shortened 2020 season and in a tight race for one this season. His contract is up after this year and hasn’t been renewed. Do you extend him or take your chance on someone else with the young core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see where this season goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only manager in baseball that put himself in position with his lineup that he had to lose the DH, that’s enough by itself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than 30 years of hate on Reds managers. Nope. Johnson was good, Mckeon was good, Dusty was good. Put yourself in a position to have to lose the DH, that by itself shows you’re not very good.

I am saying I have heard Cincinnati fans blast on every manager since Pinella. There are always people complaining about how bad the manager is. Baseball is a game that leads to many moves being questionable every night. Just the nature of baseball. Some moves work. Some don't. When it is all said and done, either you have the players or you don't. These Reds rookies are getting it done and that makes any manager look good. Last year was a mess and that mess would make any manager look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe, but I can't find any examples anywhere through googling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
