Anderson owns Singer in his career, so of course he’s sitting against him 

9 ABs is considered "owning" someone ? 

OK, sure. 

How long would have Cal Ripken's iron man streak gone had he played for LaRussa? 

 

Isbel can stop tracking down every single fly ball any time now...

Robert has played in every single game since May 1st with the exception of 1 of the Cubs games. He's fourth in the team in PA despite the IR stint.

Anderson is second on the team in PA for the season. 

Moncada is just coming back from an injury, so I think managing the workload is wise. 

I understand the frustration, but let's put this in perspective. The only person who is frequently getting the shaft in terms of playing time is Vaughn.

6-9 is pretty impressive.   Lot better than Abreu and his 1-12.

Is the 4D chess explanation that it's 3 games in 24 hours and everyone is playing two of them? 

Everyone but Leury. He gets to play em all.

And the 36 year old Abreu somehow never needs rest.

This pitcher is not good

None of those 4 guys mentioned there play every game, in fact it's not even close to being a fact. 

Grandal: 30/34 games

I don't feel like going back and counting the days that Pollock and Harrison missed, but I know it was a significant chunk. 

Pollock: 20/34

Harrison: 23/34 

Once you start counting eligible games, we've seen a lot of Big Energy.

Considering how much we didn't see Vaughn early in the season and now (i.e., eligible games), yes, I will be annoyed about this.

 

We should’ve scored atleast a run that inning. Ffs.

He'll get at worst a quality start against this offense.

Not a good start for Dylan.

Benintendi made a nice play. 

I was told yesterday Pollack would catch that ball. 

 

The KC approach is clearly not to allow Dylan to get into a count advantage.

Maybe don't throw first pitch fastball every AB Dylan.

Having a game plan isn’t allowed

Merrifield hit this one a lot harder than the one last night. 

Wow, Perez is as bad as Abreu.

"How do you do that?"

Way to pitch around the double. Dylan probably has to pitch backwards to these guys. They're looking to swing early in the count. 

Great recovery

This fker is all over the field, where we have balls batted.

Leury got robbed, but if you're the bottom of the order, you can't be getting out in 1-2 pitches per AB. At least take some damn pitches.

I can't hate on his D, but I've seen enough already!
