I believe TT was being very tongue in cheek with "experts." Probably quoting you 

I know that, he typed my posts word for word lol. My post was a affectionate dig back at him

When the choice is between Mastrobuoni or Wisdom, I think the choice is clear. 

Agreed, against a RHSP with Lopez's velocity and heatmap, you definitely want Mastrobuoni's left handedness and ability to handle that zone.  To say nothing of the fact that playing Wisdom instead of Mastrobuoni requires someone at 2B who has been a below average *corner* infielder and who the team wants reps on the corner.

I’ll bide my time TT

Acuna didn't deserve to be on first anyway

[JHBulls]

Acuna Jr realised he was out about 90 seconds before the review centre in New York.

Need to see more of that oppo stroke from Busch.

And less stolen base attempts

That's a really tough play Morel just made

I miss the JD and Len chemistry. JD and Boog appear to have very little.

I disagree.

I do think, however, that when Boog is talking that JD is often looking things up  and so when Boog asks him a question he's not always ready for it

That’s more likely what it is then. Some awkward silences between the two.

Amaya is just non-existent with the bat.

Send 👏 Ozzie   👏 Albies   👏 To   👏 The   👏 Hague

Cubs hitters are depressing to watch, even when they get someone on base it's hard to get excited.. 🤷‍♂️😆

[CubinNY]

Lot of traffic tonight 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Nibbling against Short was so dumb

[Derwood]

First real struggle for Shota all season (and he still hasn't given up any runs so far)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that is an extremely obvious swing, give me a break

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Braves offense forcing a ton of pitches and getting into the bullpen early does not bode well for this series.

[WhyCantWeWin]

This is gonna sound dumb but that was a good ejection by Counsell

[JHBulls]

Yes!

Shota says “screw you, ump!”.

[squally1313]

#umpshow

separately, shota with not his A game doing this against this lineup is so impressive 

[chibears55]

Good job by Counsell and Hottevy there..

Giving Imanaga a chance to collect himself and throw a good pitch there to get the out.

Let Go offense,  get some runs here

[We Got The Whole 9]

Terrible AB Happ. He threw one pitch in the zone.
