Kinda hoping we lose even though I root for us to win. Twins are already down in their game and are only one game back.

Nvm, Twins had a rally in the 5th.
 
Swanson is on the 2 days on, 1 day off schedule it seems.

Maybe they are trying to preserve his rookie eligibility. I could see them putting him on their program cover with a caption like this: Come see us in our brand new stadium while Dansby Swanson makes his historic bid for rookie of the year. Something like that would have a lot of appeal to the casual fan.
 
Monday is an off day, so I'm not certain why they're not playing Dansby today. If he were to get a day off in each series, why not last night against the weakest pitcher they would see during this particular series?
 
Just want to make sure we gain some ground on Minnesota.

This.

An important series this week is coming up with San Diego. Even though they have a 7 game lead, a sweep by the Braves would make things more interesting. Atlanta at least needs to lose two to them this week to help.
