This week sucks. Probably not going to catch a live game until at least Friday now....

For those unaware, Khrush likely has the worst OF arm in the sport. We’ll see if that comes into play tonight. That’s why Eli was activated yesterday, to give us that extra defensive/PR option in the NL park.

I was curious if Davis would be in the lineup.  He's one of only a few with career AB's against Wood and he's 2-2 with a HR.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

His role is to play against lefties. Woodward said he would play yesterday & today when he was activated.

So Calhoun plays everyday. Against lefties he would play LF and Davis would DH? And Against rights Calhoun would DH and Dahl would play LF? Do I have that correct? Think that's what I read over the weekend. I don't know though, I was pretty drunk

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Yeah. Joey & Willie will sit occasionally, but it’s basically a strict platoon between Dahl & Khrush. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Interesting lineup will be tomorrow’s day game. If he sits Dahl again, that will be 5 days between starts.

Going into this year, I couldn't imagine looking at that and saying, "yeah--that's an ok lineup."  But here we are.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

There are so many shitty offensive teams right now that it doesn’t take much to look passable.

Glad I stopped after about a week. Almost thought about trying that with Detroit though

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Of course the very first ball of the game finds Khrush. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Quite the ‘double’ by Nate there.

hit it where they aint

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Of course it’s gotta be Brandon to hurt us. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Khrush & Charlie answer. 

[Jameslaw121 4448]

I told myself I was going to bed at ten.....

[Jameslaw121 4448]

WTF.....

Yep, it fucked us pretty good.

Cue the fucking circus.

Holy jesus..... after that throw... DH only!!!!

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Going all the way back to his Milwaukee days, he’s admitted he can’t throw. It’s as much mental as physical. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

But the real issue that inning was the 2-out walk to a PH. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Alright boys, give us a sweat here. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

And there it is, Joey up as tying run. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Khrush against a lefty, do it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Okay, now Charlie time. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Welp, no bats & bad D is typically a losing combo. 

2:45 tomorrow. 

[DougO 5256]

Really hoping for Kris Davis to stay decent enough to make himself trade-able before he falls off the cliff.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Adolis gets two days to chill, & something is clearly up with Trevino. Of course, none of it likely matters with Jordan throwing. 
 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Confirmed. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Joey hit into a weird 6-3 DP to cost us a run. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Wow, they overturned it. Lucky. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Well, that lead lasted two whole hitters. 

Lyles’d 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Four hitters to be losing. 

Lyles’d

Maybe I should have done this just on Lyles starts....

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

He’s out, let’s not take a month. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22316]

Lyles last start can't come soon enough.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

And we’re about to be 3-3 on challenges today.

How bad was the second one? I missed it.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

It was a high throw by Heim, but IKF tagged him on the foot. 

This one was just a shitty call.

Thanks. The Gallo one was pretty close. Surprised the Rangers got that one

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

10 Ks through 6 for our bats, impressive. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22316]

Another SP with a high ERA that we make look good.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Goddamn, Lowe is fucking AWFUL at 1B. Holy shit. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22316]

That'll do it.  See ya'll in H-town.  May be cursed to go above .500 at any point.

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Dahl gets one back. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16023]

Dumb series.
