are we nearing 2010-level bad lineups?

I keep hearing Juan will be insane this second half so hopefully a good start to it.

That depends - how old was our starting catcher in 2010?

"July 3, 2021: The Cleveland Indians designated Rene Rivera for assignment. The 37-year-old loses his spot on the 40-man roster as Roberto Perez (finger) is activated from the 60-day injured list. Offensively, Rivera has outperformed fellow catcher Austin Hedges, but a .236 average is still unremarkable and not enough to keep him around as Perez's backup."

here's our starting lineup for our first game after the ASB in 2010 (which we won, defeating Miami 4-0)

1. Roger Bernadina RF
2. Adam Dunn 1B
3. Ivan Rodriguez C (38 years old at the time)
4. Ryan Zimmerman 3B
5. Cristian Guzman 2B
6. Josh Willingham LF
7. Nyjer Morgan CF
8. Ian Desmond SS
9. Stephen Strasburg P

That wasn't a terrible lineup.

when the heart of your order are Pirates cast offs, it is worth asking.

MASN is just wrapping up Nats Classics with JZ’s no-no. I miss Johnny and Ray.

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #7:** July 16, 2021, 07:03:07 PM »

FP is back.

And Bob is off again. Given how much he’s scaled back this year I think this is his last season.

Over/Under on the inning he tells us all what terrible fans we are...

We knew the allegations against Santangelo weren't credible, so for that reason only I'm glad he's back.

I think JMax really improved over time. He's OK.

I agree with this. Not a huge FP fan but glad to see the system worked.

Bob, via Twitter:

My friends and conspiracy theorists: I'm off until next Friday. This is a schedule that MASN, The Nats and I agreed to last fall, so my absence has nothing to do with FP's return. FP and Dan will do a great job and I look forward to having the band back together next week.

Castro ain't coming back. I wonder what he would've fetched on the market?

Slateman · « **Reply #13:** July 16, 2021, 07:08:45 PM »

Time to admit Fedde is just an average 4/5

I would not go that far. Reporting says "inconclusive," not " not credible." On the bright side, they didn't hold reputation against him

and that is more than we expected at the start of the season

I thought the same thing about Odubel Herrera so don’t be so sure…

Slateman · « **Reply #19:** July 16, 2021, 07:15:25 PM »

Can we hire the Padres baserunning coaches?

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #20:** July 16, 2021, 07:20:54 PM »

freak, this isn’t starting off well. Watch the next guy hit a 3-run bomb…

Call should soon be going out to hang a for sale sign

We’re picking up exactly where we left off before the break.

He’s on “administrative leave” and it appears to be domestic violence related.
