Might as well have a mildly humorous game thread title; it might be all we have left. 

I'm at the game and kind of wishing I would wasted my money somewhere else.

Lineup per MLB app preview. 

Eloy in RF. Wow.

Probably trying to break him out of his funk although swinging at pitches off the plate inside a lot less would help more. More likely to help him break back onto the IL.

 

Eloy in RF. Hope he makes it through uninjured. If he does get hurt out there, Pedro needs to pay.

I was really hoping new hitting coaches would help this nonsense

Eloy, currently lost at the plate...what could help him break out of the funk?

 

I know!!! Move him UP in the order.

I think playing him in the OF might help. Maybe he can't get his damn head in the game being a DH 

Maybe Eloy is pouting about DHing and just needs to play RF to hit again.

Eloy couldn't stay healthy for ~6 games playing exclusively DH. If putting him in RF occasionally get his bat going, do it.

bat him leadoff, it doesn't seem to matter anyways

The thing about Eloy is he could get so hot that he could pass Robert for the team HR lead in 10 days.

When is first pitch for this one?

Should have played Sheets in game 1 for Eloy

If you have Romy and Eloy in the lineup, and they’re each playing a corner spot…why on earth would you have Romy in left and Eloy in right? This question needs to be asked 1000 times in the post game no matter what the outcome is tonight.

Didn't seem to bother him much the 2nd half last year but something has to jump start him.

Eloy might be the guy that has an inexplicably bad season like Yoan last year.

Does it make much difference ? Probably just because when he has played OF either in ST or regular season so far this year it's been RF ? Not sure if that's correct though. Feels like it is.

OMG. Eloy is in RF. Comical at best; please stay healthy. Over/under on Eloy mishaps: 2 or 3.
