You actually started duplicate threads for the same game about 15 minutes apart (you must have been REALLY tired, or else REALLY something else :D ). Neither thread had any additional posts yet, so I deleted the duplicate.

let's hope it isn't like yesterday.

You know our lineup must be bad if we are forced to hit our 8 hitter in the cleanup spot.

Of course, he only hits 8th because of the stupidity of the managers.

 

Another zero run inning after having the first two guys reach.

This could be a tough one, wife asked me to the movies or do I continue to watch Coleman continue yesterdays pitching woes

I wonder how many times in MLB history has a hitter gone from hitting 8th one day to hitting 4th the next, and it wasn't a decision that involved platoon splits either day? I understand hitting a LH like Colvin 8th against a tough LHP and then hitting him 4th (should never hit 4th, but that's another issue) against a RHP. But one, Soto doesn't have a problem with RHPs. And two, both pitchers the last 2 days have been LH.

He was teaching Castro a lesson.
