I do not understand this lineup at all

Braves are facing a lefty. So Ozzie gets bumped up and Harris, who struggles against lefties, is 9th to ease him back into the lineup since he hasn't seen much pitching in weeks. Rosario is in because I think the team is done with Ozuna.

This is strange. I wouldn't think they would give up on him already like this. But what other explanation could it be if sorryio is facing a Lefty as the DH. Injury/illness/DUI????

Rosario is "hot". He got that triple and a hit off another lhp. He no longer has to sit Vs lhp

we better. These dudes get paid way too much to not play because of “a little rain.” If it’s a hardcore thunderstorm or a tornado, then sure. Just rain? They need to grow up

 

[UNCBlue012]

Awesome, the Mets luck has already began!!

 

[mfree80]

Olson seems to be taking a lot of strikes. Not seeing the ball well?

 

[Garmel]

Sure would be nice to see Olson and Riley get going again. Freaking K machines.

 

[msstate7]

Great start

 

[jsebe10]

They gotta split this Olson and Riley back to back sh*t up…these MFers account for majority of our Ks every game

 

[The Tariff King]

I really don’t wanna see fried go to another team in two years. Love watching him and strider pitch.

Fried going to the dodgers. Fried and freddie back together again

 

[UNCBlue012]

This guy has a 7 ERA… he’s been horrible. We really are just not coming prepared today?

 

[The Tariff King]

Grissom really does get Jeteresque babip singles with awkward swings. It’s quite uncanny how much it looks like Jeter.

 

[mfree80]

Grissom is useful as a hitter. Gotta still find a home defensively.

He just needs to make a couple of crazy plays so people think he's good defensively
