    I hear Bourjos is available.

    The unfortunate part of this is that we basically used the DH to get Charlie Culberson in the lineup for two games.

    Mysterious. And Flaherty has disappeared rather suddenly.

    But Joe, Snit DOESN'T have to use Viz here. He could've easily used Biddle here but chose to use his "closer" due to the stupid save statistic.

    If he plays with Joey Bats hitting .188 then hits that looks bad.

    Maybe Acuna could track fly balls better if his hat was on straight. Yeah, I'm an old guy.

    Viz going back-to-back games against a bad team when we could've rested him. Snit is too predictable.

    Or how about to give him a chance to get his confidence going? Giving him an opportunity to rebound from yesterday’s save. I understand you got Biddle tickling your tonsils but leave the managing up to Snit.

    Flaherty wouldn’t have started against 2 LHed SPs. Culbertson is on the roster because Swanson is hurt.

    It’s really weird though. He’s hitting the same amount of flies, but has converted grounders into liners. His 14% HR rate isn’t likely sustainable because he isn’t hitting the ball any harder than usual.

    It’s just a really odd change in his hitting profile

    The increased launch angle will do that. Who knows if it's just a fluke or something he's actively working on. It's working now though so hopefully it continues.

    Guys every manager once it became a save situation would have used their closer.
