The TLR way.

Not sure why you don’t run Engel there. It’s not like the top of the lineup next inning is worth not trying.

Don’t expect more than vague mentions.

I’m not ready to say he sucks but failing to have him be a backup plan instead of THE plan was nuts. Would help if we could actually have our A lineup for a game. Yet to happen.

He does. Just needs some PT out there. Prob been mostly taking reps in RF. He looked pretty comfy for a good chunk of last season in LF.

Stoney not too subtle about his dislike for Tony’s lineup.

Guys a d bag. He gave up 9 straight hits. Defense was in fact atrocious, but that isn't the way to address it. Wish we had the depth to jettison his ass to the moon.

Well, can't be worse than game 1.

Let's strive to do better than game 1.

Can we move Moncada back to the 3B yet?

About 15 ticks lower on wRC+ across his career. Luis is going to be an absolute star in this game. He looks like shit at the plate the last 10 days or so, but he'll be fine. Relax.

Lol...jack.....Luis has a 128 wRC+ in his first 560 MLB plate appearance. How in the fuck does that lead to "most of his value tied to defense". You're insane.

Severino!? Will he kill someone today?! Its anyone's guess.

Its Parkman. We could be 9-0 and he'd be hanging off the ledge.

Looks really bad up there right now. We've seen this before, but was man....was hopeful that corner was turned for good.

I don't disagree at all. Still don't think they're going to punt Dallas until mid summer with how thin the SP is currently and Kopech needing management.

Problem is this team still need pitching. He's safe....for now.

Need 3-4 from Banks here.

Looks like a team that hasn’t played in half a week

But why? These guys haven't played for almost 3 full days!

Chance of rain all weekend. Saturday temps looks nice, but chance of rain. Both Fri and Sun look rainy at low 50s in MPLS. Its been really cold and miserable here lately after a few weeks of nice spring weather, so that is actually a large step in the right direction.

2013....man time flies.

Last doubleheader in Cleveland the Sox clinched the 2021 central division. I was at that game, and it was lovely!

I am fine with this lineup. Bummer Eloy is still hurting after 2 full days off though.

Even if 2021 Moncada is who he is moving forward, that is an ~20% above average MLB offensive producer (per OPS+ & wRC+) who plays well above average defense at his position. That, ladies is gentlemen, is called a 4-5 WAR player. Some of you guys are nuts.
