Tarps out and they had some heavy thunderstorms earlier but it has pretty much moved out now. Should be on time depending on field conditions.

So sad to see ozuna in there. but 18 million reason why you have to play him for now.

Murphy’s usage can’t be like this all year can it?

I like that stacking of Albies behind Harris. You want to bring in a lefty to face Harris? You get RH Albies.

'Course, LH Albies hasn't looked too bad at this point.

When you have a chance to bench a 5 WAR players for half the games, you can't miss that opportunity

Ozuna gonna hit a dinger …..maybe two.

Dinger I don't know.. catcher's helmet. I will take the over.

Day game after a night game? I doubt our catchers double up on catching duty very often in that scenario.

I understand resting Murphy today.

I’m clueless as to why he missed the other games.

I can't imagine so. Day game after a night game plus TDA is killing it right now.

Day game after a night game, i get that. The other times he's been resting, no idea.

He has good numbers vs Mikolas.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Murphy and d'Arnaud should be switching off DH/C almost every single game. Get a third catcher to sit on the bench (Tromp) and drop one of those unnecessary OF whether it's Pillar or Hilliard. At some point, if Rosario is still sorry, you can justify dumping him further in the year when he isn't owed much more on his salary. I'm afraid we're stuck with Ozuna until sometime next year.

With that being said, I do understand Murphy getting off today.

I think Snit saw the batter vs. pitcher stats to make the lineup. Ozuna is 3-6 with 2 HR and Rosario is 4-5 with 1 HR against Mikolas. Murphy has never seen him.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

popped over the the Cardinals forum to see what they thought about the series and one of them posted this.

 

[thewupk]

Not logical but I'd keep Rosario on the team until his deal ends just because of the 21 NLCS

Mets facing Corbin Burnes, Phillies facing Gerrit Cole. My expectations are low for our game today, but a win would be really nice with those other two matchups going on.

Mets getting swept by the Brewers would be hilarious

 

[thewupk]

Is acuna faster than before the injury? Dude is beating regular ground balls to short. lmao

 

[Heyward]

Acuna was FLYING home, sheesh.
