I keep hearing how Gennett is supposed to be better defensively than Weeks but I just don't see it. He seems to be very weak fundamentally and I haven't seen him make an above average play yet.
This isn't quite like the NFL. In MLB the manager and GM make decisions on who goes up and down jointly. Trades are a little bit different with the manager being in the loop and the GM having the final say.
The Reds play a 14 inning game yesterday so their bullpen is thin tonight. So what is the approach that Narron and Roenicke employ? Of course, it's the "let's swing at anything near the plate approach". I get so tired of the lack of discipline on this team.
This inning is so typical for this year. A broken bat single, a flyball that should have been caught and a single back up through the middle that is perfectly placed, and here we go again.
