Terry Francona foolishly keeps making one Reds lineup call fans can’t defend

Sal Stewart joined the Cincinnati Reds roster little over a week ago, but has been in and out of the starting lineup over the past few days. Since his debut on September 1, Stewart has appeared in six games with just four starts.

Stewart hit safely in three of his four starts, and has come on as a pinch hitter in two other games since his call-up last week. He was arguably the best hitter in the entire Reds organization heading into the month of September, yet Terry Francona has decided to play him sparingly since his promotion.
