Its starting to become obvious that Jose Uribe,not Chris Johnson, is going to get most of the starts at 3b.

Chris Johnson numbers vs righties has a lot to do with that, he has continued to be terrible against them. So he should probably only start against lefties and select righties he's had some success against. Plus going from CJ to Uribe on defense is a night and day difference too.

And batting Markakis 4th

[Julio3000]

Playing AJ, signing Lavarnway, and calling on the Brewers about Lucroy seem to indicate that the org doesn't have a lot of confidence in Christal Beth.

[The Chosen One]

Is Maybin hurt? Two days in a row for Cunningham?

[Garmel]

Yeah, he pulled his groin. Maybin said he'll be back tomorrow.

[nsacpi]

Expecting a huge game from Gomes

Apparently.

[WaitingFor2017]

Last 10 pm game for awhile!!

[WaitingFor2017]

Expecting a homer tonight by Andrelton Simmons.

Ahh, we have some guy named Fredi as our manager

[AerchAngel]

Beth is horrible at the plate. He is a career backup as of now.

If he figures it out and that is a big if, then we can discuss him.

We rushed him a bit. He should be spending most of this season in AAA. Even if he turns out to be just a backup there is value there.

[UNCBlue012]

Gattis with another 3-run homer today. 36 RBIs.

He's just warming up.

[UNCBlue012]

He's just warming up.

you take away that first month and he's been pretty insane. The guy is going to do work this year. If he keeps this up, well over 100 RBIs. Good for him. I hope he stays healthy!

[thethe]

Joey Gallo hits a homer in his second AB. He is 2 for 2 with 4 rbis

[thethe]

He's just warming up.

Too bad there is no DH in the NL. Otherwise he would be hitting these home runs for us.
