Switch Fletcher/Kole and Goodwin/Bour. Do it, Ausmus!

Nah I kinda like having two of our worst players before and after Mike. It will force him to hit more solo dingers

He'll be pinch hitting for Trout in the 9th.

Getting paid about $75K per game to "figure it out." Must be nice. 

are you trying to tell me that La Stella isn't going to hit 44 home runs? 

My prediction: No one hits over 60 home runs this season. It's early. Players start hot. Players start cold. It'll even out.

You're welcome. I try to use big words whenever I want to come across as insightful. Also, I was trying to be sarcastic.

Buttrey or Robles would both be better in the 9th, in my opinion. 

I guess. Although nobody has given anything  beyond their fanboy crush that indicates that Fletcher was a better option against Gearrin in that situation. Which, of course, leads to the common sense defense

That's a truly profound level of data. Staggering that it wasn't the final consideration

everyday player please.  
great defense.  improving offense.  

Buttrey, 9th inning, NOW!

This disrespek of Brian Goodwin is unbearable. 

This is probably Bourjos' last chance. 

I'm very happy Mike is back. I'd switch Fletch and Kole in the lineup but other than that not too bad today!

It's time to give Goodwin some reps batting leadoff, I think. 
The good news is that Fletcher is finally playing every game, which he absolutely deserves. Doesn't matter what position it's in, get him in there every single game. One of our top 5 position players

I think they bring a component of levity to the game. I know I’m on pins and needles, and both guys do their part in reminding me it’s a game at day’s end. I personally think their extended riffing on music to be great, but that caters to my own tastes. As far as making assumptions about Gubi’s ‘intellect:’ that’s a subjectively foolish errand. He is paid, in part, to be ‘entertaining.’ We only see the public/paid side of that. For all we know he may dabble in chaos theory, compose 12-tone oratorios for celeste and tuned-percussion, and be in the midst of isolating a genetic genome predictor for cancer on the 21st alleles. But his checks get signed for being the dopey relief—a slightly less four-seam batshit than Hud’s (who I also liked). 
I see way more issue with some of the players than Gubi. Of course Rojas is great, full stop. 

I like Gubi. Says some funny things. He and Victor have a good rapport and seem to genuinely like each other.
