4/29 GDT Soroka vs Padres

[Enscheff]

Looks like both Ender and Markakis getting some hacks against a LHP.

Good to see Flowers getting back to back starts vs back to back LHP rather than blindly alternating between him and Mac.

Albies 4
Donaldson 5
Freeman 3
Acuna 7
Markakis 9
Swanson 6
Flowers 2
Inciarte 8
Soroka 1

"I wish Donaldson would move to 5.. too much power to be hitting 2 hole and doesn't get on base enough to make sense:

For those not paying attention, JD's OBP is currently .391...

We face three lefties this series. Not sure why Camargo isn’t starting all three games. One each for Neck and Ender and another for Freeman

Camargo has played in 5 straight. Maybe this is the day off for the utility guy?

i know there is plenty of nonsense on this board...but compared to twitter, facebook, and reddit, everyone here is a genius. i think only the worst posters here can be lumped in with the average poster on those other sites.

he's a young guy and kills LHP. idk, i think i start him vs. a lefty no matter what.

Maybe, but yesterday was a rhp and we knew the pitching schedule

I dont see why ender ever plays against lefties at this point.

 

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

 

[nsacpi]

will be interesting to see how Soroka does after throwing 109 pitches his last start

That's a given. I'll go with the less obvious Donaldson

It's a small sample, but Ender is slashing .353/.450/.412 against lefties (17 at bats) this season compared to .197/.266/.338 vs righties (71 at bats)

But how many multi-hit games does he have? Does he even love bassball? I have my doubts.

I took his comment as tongue and cheek. The fact that he said utility guy which equals non starter tells me he wasn’t serious. How does a non starter get a day off?

That is just awesome. We are all so much smarter for reading this. Haha.
