If Gladden is going to go on and on about Garlick = Knoblauch on the air, he should pronounce it as Kepler would, with the K pronounced rather than silent.

 

well, darn it ... was putting laundry in the machine and missed the homerun

 

Cruz is up. That load is probably ready for the dryer. 

Big MIke come out for the 7th?

 

My guess is yes.

 

well, darn it ... I took something out to the mailbox and missed the home run.

well darn it... I had to dash out to the shop and dab some paint on a window frame I've been repairing and missed the home run

I don't understand the logic of Polanco hitting leadoff, why not let Simmons or Arraez hitting leadoff instead? Polanco should hit 9th in the order.

Looking like not.

Depends on the opposing starting pitcher.

For the record, I was gardening.... I planted my butt right here on the chair as I did some work on the computer and listened to the home run. 

I would like to see more playing time for Jeffers.

Duffey come out for the 8th?

Jinxmeister 9000

Feel free to grab the lead here, offense.

Jinxmeister 9000

I missed 8999 i guess...

Sano, he of the .107 average, leading off? Rally starter?

Sano missed a hanger...twice in a row.

Simmons should always bat in front of Cruz and Buxton.

But against lefties, Arraez doesn't hit well enough to bat leadoff. How about Buxton. Ricky Henderson did okay batting leadoff. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a right-handed alternative on this team, as far as I can see.

I'd like to see Garver at first, Sano on the bench.

 

 

Simmons should always bat in front of Cruz and Buxton.

He has a .318 career on base percentage. HIs rocket is s earthbound, I believe.

And an 91 career OPS+.

 

He's just fine where he is. Having a very nice start to the season.

Against lefties, Simmons and Garlick should bat 1st and 2nd. Against righties, Arraez and Simmons should bat 1st and 2nd. Buxton should bat behind Cruz.

Colume isn't quite quick enough to get the dribbler...

I missed 8999 i guess...

After the 500 model they started going every 1000, so this is, like, the the 16th model, I think.

And an 91 career OPS+.

 

He's just fine where he is. Having a very nice start to the season.

I too like Simmons at short.

The pitch hit Garver in a bad spot...his glove.

Seager makes me nervous.

I blame me.
