What in the world was David Bell thinking? Bell pulled Yasiel Puig from the game and replaced him in the outfield with Michael Lorenzen. The Cincinnati Reds manager used double-switch in the seventh inning to take out his best defensive outfielder and one of his best hitters. While there was strategy involved, Bell got too cute with last night’s decision.
Under no circumstances should this Reds team think the game is in the bag. We’ve seen countless examples of that all season, including the recent 10-9 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
