Someone tell me why Straw batting 2nd make any sense at all? And also tell me why Toro still in the lineup.
Toro I assume to give Diaz the first half off. I'd option his @ss down when Bregman comes back. Diaz and Mayfield can handle the backup IF.
Time to get Brandon some more runs. I like how he gets his composure together after mistakes, and I also like that today he's been getting whiffs at a better rate.
Ugh. Just as I get a little more confident in Bielak, something happens. Still think he can be a solid 4 or 5 starter in time, though it may not be us. Would love to have one of our pitching draftees become a rotation staple.
In a shortened season, pitching needs to be shortened. Once you have a big lead, the starting pitcher has a 5.40 ERA and against Mike Trout with a player on. Time for Bielak to hit the shower.
They have 6 relievers to cover 2 7-inning games today, with the game 2 starter making his season debut. This is not a normal day.
