After last night blunder, I expect to see MVPete to show up and show out.

I'm expecting him to try too hard and earn the golden sombrero.

Hopefully the starting pitcher can give up less than 8 runs today 

[chibears55]

Off to a good start..

Happer

[DYMNO]

That was a fun start!

[Eeyore]

That helps 

[Stratos]

They said 9th HR in June for Happ

[DYMNO]

Seriously, what is the logic behind batting Swanson 5th? I just don’t get it. Any ideas?

[Derwood]

Gotta swing at that, Tuck

Yea. That is correct. 

[DYMNO]

[profisme]

Overall stats i guess.  He did really well when they moved him to the bottom of the lineup.  In Counsell's defense the rest of our RHB before him are meh too

[profisme]

That was an extra 5 pitches and a bit of drama because Busch was too lax.

Nobody under him other then Busch that would make much of a difference and if you bat Hoerner 5th or 6th then the bottom 3 will all be basically easy outs and noone with a decent OBP to get on in front of the top of order.

Swanson Shaw and McGuire batting in a row would be a pitchers dream 😳 

 

[DYMNO]

Swanson does not agree with my earlier befuddlement. Nice two-bagger from Dansby.

He made up for it

[JHBulls]

The only time I ever want to have a RISP situation with Dansby involved, is when he is standing on second base and someone else is hitting.

[Eeyore]

I wonder if I can go to bed now and not wake to find that they blew it? 🤔

Fun. Would be more fun if he ever did that with guys on base. 

[JHBulls]

The Night Agent really getting horsefeathers on here lol.

One step at a time, I suppose.
