But who are the base coaches?

 

[The Tariff King]

But who are the base coaches?

Yes. Definitely need to know who's working those lines.

Wash has that covered

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

 

[Enscheff]

The question of choosing Ender's defense over Camargo's bat vs a LHP is something I'd like to see Snitker answer.

#MyAce better be on top of it tonight. These Dodgers are legit

 

[CyYoung31]

Looking forward to seeing Fried actually face a good lineup tonight.

Good news is the Dodgers are about as good vs RHP as the Braves are vs LHP, so Fried has a better chance than Gausman did last night.

As long as his control remains intact and sequencing luck doesn't bite him big time, I expect him to perform well tonight.

reverse splits Ryu

Many have said that Acuna is "trying to do to much". Has hitting clean up gotten in his head? Would anyone consider flipping him and Donaldson in the line up?? Would that move clear his head?? No HRs since Apr 16th and no BBs since Apr 28th.

Anyone have insight into how he's being attacked of late?

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Camargo should be in the lineup for Donaldson.

He’s overrated and the league has figured him out.

You have got to be kidding me.

 

[salmagundy]

He’s overrated and the league has figured him out.

If that's true, moving him out of clean up would help him and the team. Move him to 7th or 8th and let him struggle in the back end of the lineup. Or just cut him as you suggest nothing else except he's been figured out by MLB.

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

You have got to be kidding me.

Camargo almost got a double last night, all Donaldson did was offer the fans air conditioning.

is it my imagination or is the quantity of really dumb posts up this year
