What inning does the bullpen blow it tonight?
Gomes vs the RHP.
Expecting a huge game from the Bethancourt.

Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Gomes hasn't started since the 6th, Cunningham just went 0-5 with 3 Ks, and Shields doesn't have a huge platoon advantage over RHHs (actually a slightly higher career OPS vs RHHs).
This is exactly the time to start Gomes vs a RHed pitcher if the goal is to keep him as sharp as possible.
The 6th? That was exactly 3 games ago. Is he going to get rusty in that short a period?
We'll see, I suppose.

Have to have either Grit or Gonad in at all times.

Anyone know when this should start?
Any word on a start time?

thank you weso1!
His OPS is .499 against RHP this season. I understand that he needs a start occasionally to stay sharp, but it's more important for this team to see what Cunningham or Joe T can do with regular PAs. Jonny has started 15 games against RHP this year. He got several starts last week. "As sharp as possible" may be irrelevant.

I'd go with Terdo for a while. Lord know he can't pinch hit worth a damn (look at what he did in 2013), play him every day for a while. Cunningham's not much with the bat, just a singles guy at best. Let him play the late innings for defense.
Gomes vs LHP, nothing else.

I know, I know
But it's June and this still doesn't feel/look right to me

Gomes is molasses.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Well. More stupid baseball, I see.
Folty seems venable to the long-ball recently.

Gotta love the nightly commentators ensuring us that Upton could not have been re-signed
Good thing that hit Markakis or that would've went to the wall.
Folty got a break there, that was a bad pitch that barely stayed in the park.
