    Wait...Gausman is hitting for Fried?

    The worst hitting pitcher on the team?

    Why?

    Exactly....Soto is substantially better offensively, but he is substantially worse defensively.

    Don't want to burn a pitcher with any experience in the NL either I guess.

    Been nice to have acuña hitting there. But at least we cleared all our hitters that hit like pitchers

    As much as I didn't like seeing Fried at 92-93 with the flat FA out there, I like the thought of Allard at 89-90 out there even less.

    Maybe we see the "good" Allard today.

    If he sucks at least his apologists have the "he's not used to coming out of the BP" excuse teed up for them after they got to use the "it was raining" excuse last time.

    Correct. We judge all decisions with the benefit of hindsight around here.

    I'm not sure that Fried is going to be able to ever stay on the mound effectively because of his blister issues.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Holy ****, did Ender just rob a HR by deflecting it, and Duvall caught the deflection??

    ? Did him coming out have anything to do with that.
