Brantley has only been back since the Boston series… and they’ve won 11 out of 12 since. Even with the LOD for some of those games, Bregman wasn’t hitting.
And can you argue against his productivity with the rest? They’re not going to be playing everyday anymore… especially not players that suffer from some chronic injuries. Who knows, maybe more days off for Bregman and his muscle doesn’t get ripped on a routine running to first play.
Springer batting 5th tonight for Toronto….https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/george-springer-activated-from-injured-list.html
This lineup by the formula: POS L/R PLAYER ### Formula 3B S TORO 400 3 OBP 2B R ALTUVE 370 4 OBP LF L BRANTLEY 154 1 OPS+ 1B R GURRIEL 149 2 OPS+ DH L ALVAREZ 520 5 SLG RF R MCCORMICK 473 6 SLG CF R STRAW 323 7 OBP C R MALDENADO 247 8 OBP SS S GARCIA 233 9 OBP Now watch Garcia go 4 for 5... We do have the strongest bench we've had in a long time,
Well, if you ran the numbers my man... I trust your judgment. Between your judgment and my fearless prediction, we will indeed go 90-0. Probably will set the record for most wins in a season too while we're at it.
Straw and Maldenado are neutered regulars at the top of the depth chart. They occasionally have good runs. Tucker and Bregman are depth chart toppers out indefinitely. SO that leaves five regular productive depth chart toppers on our best day. I do wish we could wait for Tucker or Bregman to return for Summer Break scheduling, Everybody gets All Star break next month, at least three of the four days.
There must be a special electronic strike zone for umpire we never get to see on TV. I have rarely seen a batter with 5 pitches or more not have at least one bad call. It just doesn't add up. It's like adding two and two and getting ZERO.
I'm just legit curious. I really don't remember us being full strength that many times if at all this season.
1st and 2nd games of the season. Since then it's been tag team with starters being injured and/or rested.
