I would be shocked if Osuna or Pressley pitched tonight, would be three days in a row and 5 appearances in 6 days. Even that fancy chart will say no tonight
I'd throw in James (120 pitches in a 7 day period), and Rondon as well. Sometimes a team wins so many games that it has to suck it up and pitch their 6, 7, and/or 8th options in the pen.
Reddick is back in the lineup. He's been slumping lately, but hopefully he snaps out of it. Chirinos for Stubbs is a lateral move, but I personally prefer Stubbs (even though it's very early). Not a fan of Brantley at DH at all, despite the "he hits better as a DH" argument that has not been the case as of late.
Reddick>Mayfield Miley>Martin But also Stubbs>Chirinos Brantley at LF>Brantley DH'ing So a wash for me. Anyway, time for the sweep!
I just have a lot of faith in Stubbs. Also, his numbers have dropped from April to May. Not a hater, just a big believer in Stubbs. He reminds me of a better-hitting version of Ausmus. Good ol' Ausmus.
how is chirinos for stubbs a "lateral move"??? chirinos has been fantastic for us... what else are you expecting from him that a rookie catcher who isn't all that heralded and has exactly one MLB start under his belt has already equaled what chirinos has done? you wildin' dude.
U have faith in Stubbs over Chirinos after 1 game? How’s that working out with Martin after 1 game. I remember seeing someone penciled Martin in as a 3rd or 4th starter for the playoff this year.
What are you basing Stubbs being better than Chirinos on? How does Stubbs handle a major league pitching staff for instance? Plus, Hilton or has an .840 OPS.
I don't know man, I'd be gobsmacked if either Pressly or Osuna pitches, absent some sort of whacky extra long game. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if they just decided they were more interested in punting than winning.
