Jay Bruce is having a hell of a game. How do we get him to Chicago?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) It's a long flight home with a day game tomorrow. I have no problem with any lineup they put out there today. Pinch running and pinch hitting can still happen during the game. It is the 4th game of the season, not sure why flying home really matters? If this was in the middle of the season I would understand but there is no reason to start Avi over Jackson today, makes our OF defense so much worse in a big outfield with Latos starting

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) People are going to say this is an overreaction, but stuff like this is exactly why Robin shouldnt be the manager. He's weakening the OF defense in a stadium with a massive outfield for a pitcher that will likely have a lot of balls put in play against him. Not only that, but you're keeping your 2 current weakest hitters in the lineup and sitting the one that is actually hitting and has experience against this pitcher? Not to mention you're moving Melky up to the 2 hole despite a complete absence of on base ability thus far this season? Just absolutely clueless IMO. I agree with you. It just doesn't make any sense to put Avi in RF today instead of keeping Jackson in the line up

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Why is Avi playing over Jackson? Ugh. I would have gone: CF Jackson DH Eaton 1B Abreu 3B Frazier LF Cabrera 2B Lawrie RF Shuck C Navarro SS Saladino Especially with Latos on the mound, way more balls will be put in play.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 12:08 AM) Pathetic game. You give up two runs, you need to win. Oh well, 2-1 in series is nice. Some hitters are really looking lousy/mediocre so far. 2-1 in this series is the best we could be hitting like this. 3 very good starts. If our rotation keeps this up, it will be sad if the hitting lets us down. Defense might be OK this year. As expected, it looks as if catcher will be a black hole offensively. Short and second may not be very good at all (even though Rollins hit that awesome homer last night) and Avi appears to be a possible black hole. I'll take 2-1 on the road so far, but horrible loss tonight because of the offense. Avila had some of the best ABs tonight and had a couple good ones yesterday

0-16 with runners on is just horrible. Offense really hasn't been good this series, hopefully tomorrow is different

damn

0-15 with runners on?

I think a Lawrie home run would look nice

Give me a Gapper

Good start

Let's see if give them a scare

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:44 PM) wow, another missed call He is all over the place. You aren't getting calls when you miss your spot by so much that the catcher can't even frame it

Oh Petricka

0-13

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) Maybe should've bunted there. Don't know if Rollins is good at sac bunting though If Phegley holds on to the foul tip this inning is different

And the DP looms large

0-12 with runners on base. Pathetic

Damn it

1st and 3rd him

Come on Rollins

Nice! thank you 1st base ump.. Let's try this again and score this time!

Damn, that was close but he is out

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:16 PM) Good showing by Rodon tonight. Hard to come away from these three games with anything but optimism for the 1-2-3 on this staff. 1 pitch really hurt him
