Reds manager David Bell says his players need to protect themselves after Eugenio Suarez was hit by a pitch in the 8th inning Wednesday. Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer
David Bell’s father, Buddy, has always said his son has an edge and he’ll go off at times. Through the first 55 games of David’s tenure as manager, we didn’t see much of that.
That changed Wednesday with a 2 1/2-minute, angry monologue in the wake of Pittsburgh Pirates hitting Eugenio Suarez with a pitch.
Before Wednesday, Bell remained even-keeled after even the toughest losses.
