Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell didn’t bother with any advice, message or otherwise empty platitudes when left-hander Andrew Abbott became the seventh Red this season to make his big-league debut Monday night at Great American Ball Park.
“We’ll just let him go experience it,” Bell said. “He’s here because he is prepared. No matter who you are, what you’ve done or your makeup, you’re never fully prepared for anything. At the same time, he’s as prepared as he could be for a debut.
