    Yordan after a day's rest will be awesome. This game is a free-roll after the comeback yesterday. Let's get it.

    Yep at this point Meyers is strictly a short side platoon CF and late game defensive replacement.

    I don't know... Flaherty and Hunter both only have 1 win on the year (sounds like a toss-up) :)

    I agree

    However, with Trammell and Loperfido already in the lineup who are the options?

    I assume Cam needs a day off after the foot issue but giving him a day off vs Flaherty is solid anyway.

    Altuve and Vazquez aren't options for him and need days off anyway.

    That leaves Matthews. Brice has a 32.7% K rate and Flaherty is striking out 10.69 per 9 innings, 12.17 vs RH hitters. At least Jake makes contact.

    90% of the time I want Jake on the bench but this is one of the 10% he should start.

    Hunter and Co need to keep it under 4 if they want a chance to win.

    Yep, the OF is an issue

    Are Matthews and Cam really better than Jake? Y'all know what I think of Jake.

    Sad, thanks Dana.

    I guess the stint on the IL helped Flaherty get right.
    He has 6 SO's already.

    Hopefully, we're at least working his pitch count to get him out.

    Brown not looking so good.
