    Not many choices, "load management" on CC and injured Yuli, Yordan can't get to anything unless its hit within a 20' radius around him so yea that's aan issue.

    Framber was cozy in his bed at home last night so he should be the sharpest.

    Any reason why Brantley couldn’t play LF tonight?

    Brantley probably catches the two hits to left,
    Yuli possibly snags the liner to first,
    Cc definitely makes the throw to first.

    After the late game it's Dusty's way to give a half day off for the old man in their lineup

    Most of the time this lineup is just connect the dots. Every once in a while it involves some critical thinking skills and Dusty is going to Dusty I guess.

    Framber without his gorilla glue is not the staff ace.

    with all these rest, you would think Dusty going all out near the end of the season, no?

    Dusty has no idea on what he's doing. Should be used to that by now.

    Is this real? If so it’s negligent.

    This might be the best Framber has looked since the substance crackdown.

    How so? Yordon is going to play a lot of left field now that his knees are better. Brantley has his injury issues. DH days are a good way to keep his bat in the lineup.

    Hang in there, we’ve got Robel and Castro leading off next inning.
