Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I don't even like Bell, but you have a $16M per year DH on the bench and you're not gonna use him to hit for the .610 OPS guy in that spot?

If your argument is "oh well who would play outfield in the 11th if they scored?" then you're an idiot because you have to actually score first for that to matter.
 
I hope someone asks Teflon Tito about both Straw decisions. Because both were borderline absurd.
 
Omg right, Bell was right there on the bench. Wtf are you paying him 16+ millions for?
To trick the other team into thinking 6'5" means he hits 50 homers.
 
I've said it before, I'll say it again: check Tito's phone for one of the betting apps. Dude usually makes the logical move. Why hes chucked that common sense out the window this year at key moments I can't really explain.
 
Tito does not want to play Freeman because that would likely mean moving Gimenez back to SS...

For some reason that is unacceptable. Even Arias didn't get a real chance at SS.

Now Arias has to go. It's not working for him here. A swap for Oscar has to be done. No offense to OGonz, but I rather see him get limited opportunities for us in Cleveland and let Arias play everyday in Columbus to get things going again.

Even David Fry...

You keep this going, head out to right field.
 
This team is going nowhere if they don't start taking walks. So many outs on ball 4 today.... Arias, Ramirez, Naylor...and Rosario has one AB like that every game. It's terrible to watch. They're not playing team baseball

Even Kwan presses now, but he should jump at more first pitches, like the Brewers did with Civale
