Are you referring to the one play where the shift hurt them? There was a play in the first inning in the first game where it was clear they wouldn't have gotten any outs due to the shift.

I get not wanting to burn him out early but I'd rather play him against Minny and sit him tomorrow.

I ageee. Gotta go with Mendick at 2B with Leury in RF.

When Mazara and Madrigal are ready: 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Jimenez LF 4. Abreu 1B 5. Grandal C 6. Robert CF 7. Encarnacion DH 8. Mazara RF 9. Madrigal 2B Edit: this is the linup I use in The Show. I got sick of too many slow guys being in front of Robert so I had to flip him and Edwin.

Didnt see most of the game yesterday, but one of the plays in the first was definitely due to the overshift (Anderson being too far from 2nd base).

Delmonico, Detwiler, Seby can go and no one would care.

Kind of makes sense. Otherwise, why even have divisions in the first place? Essentially 1st and second place teams of each division and then 2 wild card teams.

And play where? 4th in line for catching, at least 4th in line for DH?

Nah. You can't eat innings if you can't even find the zone.

Thought the exact same thing.

Like someone above said, this season may not even finish. I'm fine with them waiting the 5-7 days whatever the number is.

Ha. I'm good with him coming into the game around the 5th 6th inning for defense if we are leading big early but that's about it.

I'm hoping for Mendick at 2B and Leury in RF for a handful of games if Madrigal isn't on the roster.

I'm down for this. At least he has been in camp somewhere.

Don't think it's likely at all. Dodgers love having a deep bench and now they can use the DH this year.

All it took was a pandemic and 2nd highest amout of money in MLB history.

Nothing changes for this year. Joc is a free agent after this year. Plus, Joc also plays 1B and can DH this season. It's a Dodgers wetdream being able to have this deep of a bench.

Ready to go? Has he played any games this year?

And also tested positive for COVID.

With a pandemic going on and the possibility of the season getting cut short this year (and even next year for all we know), it makes sense to take the money now.

I was going to say. Is it really that crowded?

Honestly, it would be pretty bs to get to the World Series only to find out a day or two before half your roster tests positive with COVID. Definitely thinking this season deserves an asterisk for sure.

Makes sense. The team has been bad since 2012, you had Cubs fans also tuning in (Sox/Cubs of course) and there hasn't been baseball (minus Spring Training) in like 10 months.

I'd rather it be Mendick at 2B and Garcia in RF if they are going to wait on Madrigal (without Mazara of course).

I'd definitely put my money on Abreu. I know you've got your bias goggles on though.
