[Slippyjms]

Albies 2B
Soler RF
Freeman 1B
Riley 3B
d’Arnaud C
Swanson SS
Duvall CF
Rosario LF
Smyly P

 

[Garmel]

Not sure why TDA is hitting ahead of Swanson.

Does this tell us something about their confidence in Rosario in CF?

He made a really strong throw in left to hold a runner for a single. Like him there fine. Would rather see Heredia than Duvall and his .197 average in the lineup.

Phillies got Josiah Gray on ropes in 1st

Rosario does have a plus arm. We'll have to see about him in CF. Twins didn't use him there much even when Buxton was injured (which was often).

 

[msstate7]

Of course Josiah gray gives up nothing to us, and the Phillies hang 6 on him in 2.2 ip

I am truthfully still moderately worried about the Phillies. The team is beyond trash but their schedule is easier than easy lol

Say what now?

 

[Enscheff]

Rosario vs a LHP is the wrong call. He hit a triple vs a LHP last night so of course Snit will refuse to platoon him properly.

Heredia should be in CF tonight.

I’m guessing Snit decided 1,2,3,4, and 6 are his sharpie spots and 5,7,8 are his matchup spots. Still weird to see Rosario in vs a lefty though.

Agreed. Also I feel like even you don’t go Heredia Pederson would be a better option.

I’ve got a bad feeling about our division lead after this sh*t trip out west…

Starting with Smyly getting his titts absolutely ripped tonight.

 

[jsebe10]

Why is this cunt continuing to start?

 

[msstate7]

I don't think there's a player I wanna see get hit in the face... except muncy

 

[msstate7]

I hate this team. Really hope the giants can hold on to the west forcing this team with unlimited resources to play a WC game

Talk about dude that has completely sold his soul for success…when the devil comes to collect its going to be hell

I hate any team that can purchase themselves into a top tier position….

 

[jsebe10]

Dude just don’t throw that ****ty fastball

 

[CyYoung31]

This team literally has an All-Star at every single spot in the lineup.
