Love Duvall getting the start...hopefully Folty/McCann bring the same game 2 magic
Get off my lawn!
Markakis could go 5-5 with 5 homers (though it would be to my delight) and I'd still hate batting him fifth. FFS, Snit.
Today's GDT will be a piggybacking team effort.
Forever Fredi

Lol, putting in Duvall for Joyce because of 2 ABs. We’re already at a disadvantage. Snit needs to be fired immediately.
I think Acuna goes off this game. He’s gonna be extra pumped after that Cards loss and the taunting they did. If Folty has his head on straight tonight then I think we win. Have to jump on Flaherty early and get his pitch count up.
So what would be a situation in this game where we could see Joyce pinch hit? From the look of it, it would have to only be for our starting pitcher. It would also not have to be a time they could counter with a lefty reliever.
Hopefully, all those players with a ñ will hit .500

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
High Flight
