Surprised to see O'Hoppe start all 3 games this series. Surprised but love to see it.

The fan was right.  Guy is a bitch

Yep, I like it, too.

Meanwhile, "load management" is needed for Rendon even after an off-day Wednesday before opening day on Thursday, plus the off-day Friday, and another one coming up this Thursday.

He bumped into the tarp at moderate speed you see. 

[UndertheHalo]

Also it was pre planned.

Rendon can play in NBA, plus Sam Blum said 30 day suspension coming.

RE: Rendon he ran into a tarp not a brick wall.

Tarps should be on the softer side of things you could bang up your knee on.

 

Yeah, I know it was a scheduled day off his third of the week?

[Docwaukee]

They didn't want Rendon to get a five minute major vs. the A's pitcher.  

[Halo in Chicago]

Excited to see what Anderson does!

Rendon jokes are dumb. How would your knees feel crashing into a solid rolled up tarp?  Y’all complain about GA not giving effort and you blast a player who does. Such bullshit.

But he's not injured, remember? Planned off-day!

Would you rather he last all season or not play?

We all know that the official statement is always BS. We shouldn’t be shocked. 

[Lou]

All of a sudden we have a bunch of tough guys here.

Again: off-day Wed, opening day Thurs, off-day Friday, game yesterday, off-day today.  Off-day this Thurs. 

At this point, I'm going to view anything we get from him this season as a bonus.

Rendon has a lot to prove this year.

Three games into the season and he's hitless in his first two games, has had a altercation with a fan, and now needs a day off three games into the season after already having two this week.

Break the .500 mark and never go back under it in '23.

How much toughness are we needing here on game 3 of the season? Our friend @jsnpritchett has pointed out that we aren’t even talking about 3 consecutive game days here. 

[Justin]

Urshela has 5 hits in 8 at bats. 

I would rather watch him today than Rendon.

He ran into a tarp and banged his knee. He's also coming off two straight seasons where he had season sending surgeries.

Again: planned off-day!

EDIT: Also, he came back at the end of last season.

Oh, come on. You have to be smarter than that. We all know that's bullshit.

But he says he’s available to play and that it was a pre planned day off. Look I didn’t crash into the tarp. It’s true, I can’t exactly say how that went for him. But it didn’t look like that big of a deal to me.  Justin is right tho, maybe we’re better off with Urshela anyway.  He looked like shit last year and he’s doesn’t look much better in his 7 or 8 AB’s this year.  That apparently he already needs a break from.

Oh, I absolutely believe it's b.s. That's why I'm mocking it by reposting it.
