You're not wrong, but I think the lineup is set up this way so we don't get Chaz Roe'd or equivalent for consecutive RHH late in the game. I suppose an alternative to that is to hit Biggio leadoff and Bo second and then flip flop the lefties and righties similarly down the lineup. Meh.
Finally, two full lineups without glaring omissions. This should be a fun game. It's too bad for the Mets their staff has thinned because that is a very good offense on paper.
Gabe Kapler is just leaving his guys out to dry. Menez faces Bellinger, Turner, almost gets his head taken off by a Corey Seager rocket, and then still leaves him in to face noted lefty killers Kike Hernandez and Chris Taylor.
Yeah it's three batters minimum or the pitcher finishes the inning. I don't remember if I was always on board but it's probably the best rule change the Manfred administration has imposed.
This weather can f*** off. That might be both Max and Cole out of the game, if the game is even finished, which I imagine they'll want to given the schedule.
Max Scherzer has 10 strikeouts through 5 against the best lineup in baseball. The best lineup in baseball has 4 runs in 5 innings against Max Scherzer.
I missed baseball.
