Ynoa P

 

[msstate7]

I expect lots of runs today

 

[Enscheff]

This is the correct lineup vs RHP. Too bad Snit only stumbled into it because he wanted to rest the “regulars” in the early game of the double header.

 

[Enscheff]

As others have been pointing out, there are massive red flags about Swanon’s “improvement” in 2020.

.424 BABIP
37% K rate
3.3% BB rate

He should not be batting 2nd. The correct lineup vs LHP has Markakis up top in the 1-3 range, and Swanon down in the 5-7 range.

Kelly just reported that Hamels is set to throw a BP session late this week. Will we see him anytime soon??

He can’t be activated before 9/4 (that’s assuming we backdated his 45 day IL to 7/20, otherwise he’s not eligible to be activated until 9/7).

Akuna strikes again

 

[salmagundy]

Acuna leads off with K swinging at 93 MPH fastball down the middle. 24th K so far

 

[Snowman]

Jeff Francoeur criticizing people for not making contact? Really?

He never struck out as much as Acuna and Swanson are right now.

 

[USMA76]

Boy, I sure didn't see a clear enough camera angle on FSSO to overturn the call.

 

[salmagundy]

Add insult to dropping AB numbers, Dansby gets picked off 1st

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Swanson quickly turning into a pumpkin.

With the last shot from left field he was out

 

[salmagundy]

Nice 1st inning for Ynoa. 15 pitches, 8 strikes for the 1-2-3

 

[USMA76]

So what constitutes a quality start in a seven inning game? I guess a second question might be "who cares?"

Vince is throwing meatballs down the middle and we’re missing (well, other than Ozuna). Let’s tag this dude.
