RHP Corey Kluber (0-0, 0.00) vs RHP Michael Kopech (0-0, 2.25)

 

 

The standings already look very much how I would expect them to end up.

 

Kluber vs Kopech. Don't stop now boys!

Love watching Kopech starts

Kluber pitched 4 2/3 scoreless his first start and has pitched very well against sox in his career (albeit not against half this roster)...Kopech is gonna have to be on his game.... another potential low scorer

Burger sitting today. Leury at 2B, Harrison at 3B, McGuire at C and Grandal at DH, Vaughn in RF.

Surprise surprise... Burger sitting and Vaughn batting last.

Make it make sense. 

Vaughn hitting 9th and the 1 hit wonder batting 6th. TLR needs to go F himself. This is ridiculous

Time to do a money ball type move and trade or cut Leury.  If they wont do that, take the booze away from TLR ?

Hey, you try making a lineup for a day game after downing a fifth of vodka the night before. It ain't easy. 

I just will never understand his lineup construction.. I don't even think he understands his lineup construction.

I try not to question when certain guys get days off, but the optimal lineup for the 9 guys you are playing is fairly straightforward and this is very frustrating.

Leury is a frustrating player but I dont think he deserves the hate he gets.

Who Tony deems the worst hitter always hits 8th. Dating back years.

Not sure what's up with leury lol.

Yeah it's not really his fault that he gets misused. When Moncada, TA and Harrison are all healthy he should start twice a week at most. Even with Moncada out it should only be 3-4 times and not every day. The only thing I can figure is that his ability too bat from the left side is getting way overvalued since he doesn't really hit righties any better than most of our RH hitters.

Only reason I see justifying Leury in the lineup today over anyone is he is 5-12 lifetime against Kluber….I’m trying to find the bright side of things…but man is that tough

Just goes to show how talented TLR is

We need one of those 12-1 laughers.

I have zero faith in that lineup

if they score more than 3, I'd be very surprised

Would like to see Sheets in for Jose today.  Jose is 1 for his last 15 with 7 K's after unnecessarily sliding into home during a 9-1 ballgame on Sunday and hurting himself.

With a fully healthy roster, Leury still will play everyday as I said back when we signed him in the offseason
