Wouldn’t mind seeing the Team MVP in the game

Culberson should have started tonight as he matches up well against this type of pitcher. Plus he has hit him in the past albeit in a small sample. But nothing surprises me with Snit after he sat Camargo vs Gonzalez when Camargo was hitting .500 against him including a homer. This was in 14 AB's but I remember many of these games and he could've went 10-14 against him. Camargo really seemed to own him yet he sat in that game. Plus Snit keeps using RF to pinch hit late in games even when he has Duvall and others better. He has did this in the 8th inning the last two games. That Nats game could've went differently had that late inning started with a better hitter. I know this is where the Snit defenders come in saying it's AA's fault he is on the team. But the fact is AA improved the bench enough to where he shouldn't even still be a factor outside of games that go extra innings where he is the last pinch hitter used. Snit managed that very winnable game like a throw away game to save his pen after Sanchez went down.

Duvall is hitting .111 against tonight's starter btw, but it is only 9 ab's and that one hit was a homerun.
 
I probably need some lithium, but I honestly project Julio's best game of the year- maybe years.
Just a hunch. We're in first place, and he's an adrenaline junkie.
 
Honestly, I have never liked Julio vs the Brewers but maybe I just have too much in my mind the two games in the past he gave up 7 runs to them. Including one last year at their park.
 
Called it last night... Acuna going beast mode (like last year thru milb) to finish season. We gonna ride him to the playoffs
