Lucas needs to man up today.......

Time to start turning things around for him.

Can't wait to see the Sunday lineup for this one.

I actually wouldn't blame Tony today.  TA needs a day off......need to keep him healthy. Abreu needs to DH or sit.

I agree. That's why I'm expecting it.

Yeah I'm expecting Mendick as SS, Vaughn at 1B, Abreu DH. Maybe Leury in RF.

You almost have to sit Abreu today.  I can really understand a Sunday line up today.

I bet he is DH. Abreu that is.

It absolutely is the right thing to do but let's not get carried away here.....it is always legitimate to Blame Tony. 

Imagine Foster will be back today.  Believe bereavement is a max of 3 days.  

Scared to see the lineup today

Which also requires a roster move.  I wonder if we see another DLing.

 

 

Yikes, that lineup

Just couldn't pry Pito out of the lineup. 

Man Abreu just can't get a day off can he?  At least he is indeed DHing.

I don’t mind it.

It’s his own doing, I’m sure.

Was to be expected and probably the best that can be done today outside of maybe Pollock for Hasely, but even then we need to keep Pollock fresh as well.

No doubt.  Dude is a gamer that's for sure.

Fine with this, and I say that as a frequent critic of TLR's lineups.  TA clearly needed a day, half our lineup is injured/unavailable.  The only one who could be there to upgrade is Pollock but I imagine he needs a day too.

Probably after a long conversation....Jose agreed to DH today.  But if Pito is alive....Pito is playing.

I hope you are all happy....after all the bitching, big energy is now batting 9th and Hasely is 8th (he did put down a nice bunt last night though)

Is Leury dead?

Yeah, about as good as one can expect after last night.
