Weather permitting (radar looks ok though)

Might I suggest a pre-emptive doubleheader with the Rays on Tuesday too?

The bench is Palka, McCann, and Leury & Yolmer batting righty. Not much he can do.

Yeah, this lineup is better than the last one almost solely due to the absences of Palka and Yolmer

This is the main problem.  Hahn entered the season with these two guys as starters for RF and 2B.

Moncada has been on a tear. Why start moving him around in the order? Lefty or righty should not matter while he is hot.

And McCann

I can't wait until the days where Madrigal and Robert are in the lineup.

DId you just ask a question and answer it too ? You go up there and hit regardless of your place in the lineup.

We want Moncada to have more at bats than Rondon and Castillo. 

I probably would have went with Engel or Rondon batting first. Anderson has too much power to lead off followed by Rondon who has little power. Anyways, let's take this rubber match!

You can't always get what you want, He's been hitting like a middle of the order hitter so that's where he is. With this Mariners team hitting like the 27 Yankees we need th middle of the order to produce and get some opportunities to drive in runs.

If Anderson could draw the walk and hit for a higher average he could leadoff and be followed by Moncada at #2. That's seems a little lethel.

I didn't know how much power you had determined if you could lead off or not. 

It's not bad to have power in the leadoff hitter as long as the #2 has more power.  To bat Rondon after Anderson is silly because we want people on base in case Anderson goes yard.

Fun fact, Rondon hit 24 homeruns between Charlotte and the majors last year.

 

so it appears he now also has "too much" power

We can start our lineup with

Anderson

Moncada

Abreu

Alonso

Eloy

Rodon

Castillo

Good point about Rondon, I didn't know he had that much power. Although Anderson's power is more proven.

That's why Renteria gets paid to be manager and I don't. ?

If that's the case since Anderson has more speed he fits better #1. Maybe Rondon will go yard today?

Mallex Smith is just one of those annoying pesky players that practically don’t exist anymore.

jesus fucking christ.

Anyone else wishing for a different Sunday home alt uni??   Loved when the 83s made a comeback but wanting a change...

our catchers suck dick.

Castillo with quite the first inning so far.  Defense is just a rumor for this team.

That was a clinic on bad catching
