Because Schultz likely will not be used as an opener

Sir it’s midday this is low hanging fruit time

To continue my whining, why not save Schultz to open today? I also think Schweitzer is better than Murphy.

Hoping to pull another Hagen and see if he can handle 1 or 2 innings better than he was handling a starter role?

But it's low-hanging fruit that doesn't move the needle ;)

Unrelated but very irritating is cubs faced Reynolo Lopez and Martin Perez last two days. Don't mind the opener just mind Chris Murphy. Wasn't Atlanta that lit him up as an opener.

Thanks for the cubs game lol

I’m enjoying the lame cliche responses lol

Don't feed the troll

You said it was “dangerously misguided”, “reckless abandon”, “negative critical mass”, and a “tipping point” and I asked you to expound and all you did was give me another cliche. Glad you finally got to the point

They aren’t cliches. I don’t like Mr Murphy as the opener tonight and I’d dare say I’m not the only one.

Not gonna write the guardians off but I'll just say their body language after going down was atrocious. Not something I'd want to see if I were a fan.

So you are just gonna keep throwing cliches out there instead of saying you don’t like Murphy? Mmk

It’s a tipping point.

I am interested to see how Shelton fares. Terrific in A+, struggled early in AA. Could go either way

How is it negative critical mass

He should be following some kind of wisdom. Sounds more like reckless abandon to me. The issue isn’t what he has been doing all season. The issue is what he’s doing today which is negative critical mass.

The line has gone from -128 clev to -151 clev since the news of Murphy came out.

Hindsight is 20/20 but should have used Murphy with a 5 run lead last night and had Hagan open today. Hopefully Murphy can shut them down.

I think that risk is better, keep Nuke ready

I agree but so is starting Chris Murphy

Starting the same guy two days in a row is pretty risky

How is this dangerously misguided when they have been doing this all season, with a lot of success? Come on now, this entire season has been like this don’t act like he needs to follow conventional wisdom now

If they are going to use an opener, I'd rather them just go with Newcombe again. Hopefully we can get this game to the later innings tied or with a lead and then use a rested Hudson, Hicks, and Taylor to close it down
