The Reds nearly got no-hit by Jake Arrieta last night. They ended up “only” getting one-hit. So how did Reds manager Bryan Price respond? HE BENCHED EVERYONE:
#Reds lineup:
Negron 6
Santiago 5
Rodriguez 8
Ludwick 7
Lutz 9
Hannahan 3
Elmore 4
Barnhart 2
Corcino 1— John Fay (@johnfayman) September 17, 2014
Well, pretty close to it, anyway. Ryan Ludwick and Ramon Santiago are semi-regular players. Perhaps Price didn’t want to take this exercise too far and actually end up getting no-hit this time around.
Price has yet to comment on whether or not this is a punitive measure or just him deciding some guys need a rest after their poor performance the night before. Either way, not a good look, Cincy.
