markakis is batting .231 in 26 ab's against Lester with no homers and no rbi's but snit still plays him and keeps him 5th.

Dayton sent to Gwinnet, Wright recalled... please just keep Dayton up... he's so good.

I figured that would happen, at least by Tuesday with Newk coming back. Snit overreacted to the solo homer and seeing eye single through the shift yesterday. Dayton could've stayed in and gotten through that inning at one run. I like Webb but there was another lefty in Parra on deck and Dayton has shown he can get out both anyway. He had just gotten Rendon before the Soto homer on that bad curve that hanged.

I think this is due to Folty and Soroka not giving them many innings. So Wright is there in case there is an extra innings game or other circumstance that requires a lot of innings from the pen. Hopefully, Julion can give the pen a bit of a break.

Obviously Tomlin won't be available. Jackson, Swarzak and Minter pitched both Saturday and Sunday. Given that he threw the fewest pitches yesterday, I'm guessing Swarzak is the closer tonight and the other two will not be used.

Plus Dayton had pitched in two straight too so probably not available tonight had he stayed. He would've went for Newk Tuesday anyway obviously.

Sharpie snit strikes again. Where are all the snit supporters saying they approved of yesterday full lineup because he would rest guys later. Like I said he will always find a reason to go full blown lineup everyday.

It can be true that he should have rested guys today and played them yesterday, so don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back too hard.

Everyone agrees with the idea that we should be resting our guys more. Everyone.

Snit is terrible at making lineups but considering the meltdowns other teams in our division are experiencing, we're lucky to have Snit. The man knows how to manage a team.

Snit knows how to manage but AA sucks as a GM. Excuse me if I don't trust your judgment on such matters. Now I do agree that other teams, and thankfully that includes some in our own division, have worse managers.

Well I’m at work so I’m a little busy. Anyway I supported the lineup decision yesterday and think it’s a mistake today. Today was an excellent opportunity to rest Markakis and reward Camargo. No reason not to take advantage.
