    This team needs Yordan to be awesome. That's what we are really missing (but the bases loaded mind**** getting fixed would be nice!)

    They want to go to a 6 man rotation when we have 17 games in a row without an off day. Probably a good idea.

    They wanted him to pitch against Texas.

    The extra rest day is perfect too.

    Hunter and deGrom could be must see television.

    Was this even an option? I thought this was determined yesterday when they reported that he will finally be able to swing a bat today?

    I'm expecting him back 5/22 when the series vs Seattle starts.

    Cam hitting cleanup? Start our lefty 3rd catcher against a LHP? Who is Encarnacion?

    I needed an order to spell out Papa John's, then I tried Papa Roach, but all I could come up with is Pap Smears. :/ Luis Encarnacion is a minor leaguer.

    Probably not. Yordan will likely go back to being awesome.

    May as well put my name on that list. We all 4 would have the same Hall of Fame odds: 0%.

    Given 100 years, I don't think I would have ever guessed that you were testing for cervical cancer with your lineup. Must be a (very) inside joke.

    Chas gets a chance.

    I hope there isn't a runner on 1st and/or 2nd with 0 or 1 out when he comes up.

    Or, he can just ignore the bunt sign.

    I am predicting he gets an extra base hit, a walk, and a SB tonight.

    So these guys should never pitch?

    What would be an acceptable way to treat them?
