Not to mention the number, including certain podcasters, who insist on calling Eloy "HIM-en-ez."

So if it happens to be a game against a tough lefty, Sheets sits for example. Edited March 20, 20223 yr by Bob Sacamano

So we're adding Abreu and Grandal to an already crowded DH set. It's not unexpected, but that's quite an ensemble. I would think Grandal would be the primary DH (50-60 games) in light of age and health. Is TLR really sharp enough to juggle this many butcher knives? Not many would be.

Grandal and Abreu should be rested more if you want to keep them healthy for the playoffs. Vaughn and SHeets needs 500 PA's a piece or enough to determine if they are helping the team . It's not like this is something unexpected. He'll be a part of it , that's all LaRussa said , as he should be, just not a primary part.
March 20, 20223 yr Hey guys, did you know they have Statcast data for ST games this year? It's nice. Real Gameday too. Edited March 20, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

Valsquez pitched a perfect 1st . In the 2nd he gave up 3 straight singles to load the bases to start the 2nd . He then got a K , a force at home on a ground ball to Burger at third and then a fly out to end the inning without a run.
