I think I would prefer to see Ozzie in the 5 slot adding another runner on base for Duvall being Duvy!!

 

[jpack1]

That lineup is the real deal. Rather see Ozzie at 5. But that’s seriously nit picking.

 

[Enscheff]

Yeah, as others have said, I may have minor qualms with the exact order of 3-6, but this is pretty much the ideal lineup vs LHP.

 

[salmagundy]

Alonzo back in lineup for Mutts, hitting 6th as DH.

 

[Enscheff]

One thing is for certain, I haven’t once missed the chess-level strategy of pinch hitting for the pitcher. Not a single time. Hopefully the DH is here to stay.

Seriously I think there’s more strategy with the DH than there is without.

 

[salmagundy]

Who are these deadbeat guys in the booth???

 

[CyYoung31]

What is Duvall saying?

 

[jpx7]

Love to see Acuña taking those walks.

Weird to see Freeman strikeout, especially swinging through two hittable pitches in that PA (strikes one and three).

Lame to see Acuña picked off.

 

[salmagundy]

Acuna sleeping on 1st?? Gets picked off.

 

[CyYoung31]

There goes Freddie’s MVP hopes.

This ump is ass

This ump is ass

They've all been worse than ever this "season".

 

[USMA76]

Nothing like having perfect pitches called "balls."

 

[CyYoung31]

This ump is a goddamned joke.

 

[jpx7]

Inauspicious start.

 

[salmagundy]

A lot of these Umps are MiLB guys filling in for the MLB guys that opted out. And they are BAD!!!

 

[UNCBlue012]

He’s been wild but dude isn’t getting anything close.
