@TooMuchMortons_ I think Sheets is hitting so well that I am ok with him playing. Starting Solak over France is the one I am questioning. Also think this should be Bowen's last start. He needs to take more of Bryce Johnson role that part time starter.
@JayPosnerSD What they didn't mention is the Manny almost got hit in the head twice before Xander did (and maybe Tatis once). Their young SP was throwing up and in so I think a message did need to be sent.
@TooMuchMortons_ What are we doing here! You have the best RF in baseball playing 2B, a guy who's natural position is 2B at DH and playing a guy who should only be a DH in RF? I can only assume it is for lineup flexibility later in the game but help out your SP a bit!
@TooMuchMortons_ Was not looking forward to extra innings, for sure. Also, to win and not use any of the high leverage guys out of the pen and now they get an extra day off.
@TooMuchMortons_ I really felt like this was a tipping point game, to beat Burns with that lineup and King going tomorrow for the sweep and they are right there...now, I think this team fades. Schedule gets real tough, real quick.
@TooMuchMortons_ Manny swinging 3-0 at a slider in the dirt with 2 outs and Tatis on 3rd still kills me...then couldn't even get a productive out to score a run later.
@TooMuchMortons_ Dude, if you are hitting .160 you don’t get to swing 3-0. Very selfish by Manny there. Also, if he walks good chance Burns doesn’t come out for 6th if Sheets sees a few pitches.
