WLW. The Braves defininentley have the pitching, but with Heyward not hitting a well as they thought, I think the Astros could pull this off. I just hope that Weiland is not too bad.
Really? You can look at that lineup and your top confusion is that they did not spell Happ correctly.
Not benching so much as giving him a day off and getting everyone ABs. Hell, he sat Altuve in the 2nd game of the season. If he wants to give Buck a start, it most likely comes at the expense of J.D. because J.D. is right-handed, while Schafer, Bogey, and Buck are left-handed. I must add that Beachy has been very good against LHB, so I'm not sure this was the best pitcher to make that call on.
And you can look at my post and determine what my assessment of that lineup is without me even meaning it?
I think he gets 5 starts. Looking more and more like Ryan Rowland-Smith. I figure Lyles or Clemens will replace him before the end of the season, but we've got to hope.
