Will we go to pitching chaos for three out of five starting spots?

I think they'll move Jake into the rotation, he'll be the next $400M 2way player.

Tork is back to sucking again.

Bryan Bello is toying with them... statistically the worst starting pitcher in the league .

Can Hinch just put Colt Keith in the lineup everyday instead already wrting him off as a platoon player at 24?  

I know Hinch has man love for McKinstry but let's find out if Keith is a legit hitter or not

what does platooning have to do with Keith vs McKinstry? they're both lefties.

well, as crap as this team is going right now...my daughter just got nominated for an acting award for Northern Virginia HS theater programs.  So, there is that.

Skubal’s hurt?  Don’t worry, they said, we have Framber!

Throwing Framber out of the game for hitting one guy is ****ing horse****. 

I don't know.  Up and in after two HRs.  He had 45 strikes to 15 balls thrown, so it's not like he was wild.  I think the Story reaction is what did it.  Had he just gone to 1B, I bet Valdez remains to throw more batting practice.  I'm not blaming Story, I might have reacted the same way.

I missed this game due in part to my daughter's college acapella choir throwing an informal concert.

but McKinstry hits lefties slightly better than righties   L/R  BA .238/.229    OBP  .307/.296   OPS  .678/.676

And I agree about Colt Keith.  He's your second-hottest hitter this year, let him play.   Colt is .250 BA vs. Lefties.  Not that bad.
