GDT 5/2- The Return of the Mighty Nuke; No Carmargo....

I assume you mean he should if Swanson is injured.

No, I truly mean he should start tomorrow for Dansby. I don't mean he should take over his spot, but it's obvious that lt. dan needs a day to clear his head, even if we're talking about Jason Vargas.
 
Been saying it. Followed him a while ... the power took a jump at some point. He never had this type of pop before.

You could see it easily after watching him last year. People will laugh at this and I don't care but the dude has a 'presence' at the plate. His movement before the pitcher comes set just exudes comfort and confidence. He is always meeting the ball out in front and hits the ball hard.

Not sure that’s so clear. Only 5/26 in the week preceding this game, sure, but players are going to scuffle; plus Vargas has been trash and is a lefty; plus Swanson’s clearly the best defensive SS in the roster.

I’m not categorically opposed to giving him a day off; I just don’t think it’s some absolute necessity, either. Nor does it seem clear tomorrow’s the ideal day (and honestly today would’ve made a lot more sense).
 
Freeman looked good, but yeah try to rest him and finish with Fried/Biddle.
 
Bae is having some issues, he will get the day off tomorrow, but I would put Albies at SS for emergency situations down the road and Camargo at 2nd. Early in the season, get them some reps at other positions.
 
Dansby has been struggling the last week or so, but you can't really take anything away from tonight. Degrom made nearly everyone look foolish before he left with injury.
