We’ve seen it all season long. The Cincinnati Reds lack left-handed depth in their bullpen. While Amir Garrett is one of the better left-handed relievers in the National League, he can’t pitch every inning. One of the biggest areas of concern as the we near the end of the 2019 season and focus on 2020 has to be finding quality left-handed depth for the bullpen.
Wandy Peralta toed the rubber last night in the ninth inning after the Reds had closed the gap to just two runs. Why David Bell turned to Peralta with a right-handed batter in the box, we’ll never know.
