The Cincinnati Reds fans have been extremely critical of David Bell since his hiring prior to the 2019 season. The Reds finished that season 75-87. Bell still doesn’t have two complete seasons under his belt, but his managerial record is slightly better than Dusty Baker’s during his first two full seasons in the Queen City.
Bell is a players manager, and Reds fans have seen on multiple occasions the Cincinnati skipper come to the defense of his players.
