48.

Lets not break that record if possible.

[Shqiptar]

What a horrific lineup… Where is Upton? Walsh? Why is Suzuki in there- a .220 hitter?

When the hell does Trout and Rendon get back?

What a shit show. Worst lineup I’ve seen in decades. Except for Ohtani, one loser scrub after another. No wonder they can’t score a damn run for days.

Walsh is on the IL.  Upton is getting a "normal day off," according to Maddon.  Suzuki is in there because it's a day game after a night game.

No word on timelines for return for Trout and Rendon.

Anything else?

What should I have for lunch?

Absolute BS about Upton and Suzuki. These guys get paid way too much to be babied this way

WE SCORED!!

[Second Base]

Matt Thaiss had the most beautiful LH swing. Great at barreling the ball. Good line drive hitter. If his defense can catch up, his offense would make him one of the better catchers in all of MLB.

He would need to actually catch first.

Without Ohtani they might not score the rest of the season.

But just think, if he could learn that and learn to manage, we could get rid of Suzuki and Maddon in one fell swoop.

That was only the second run in last 45 innings versus the A's
