odd. I guess Adams is catching day game after night, so it's a question of Dom or Ruiz. I suppose they could bench Joey, but he hitting every one (for average, not HRs). VEDEP at 2nd, Alu in left.

Young looking like he's every day.

Varsho and Biggio are lefties. The rest of the Blue Jays lineup against Corbin are right-handed bats.

The Nats are more mixed, with 2 lefties (Abrams and Alu) and 2 switch-hitters (Ruiz and Vargas).

Bassett being a righty, you might have figured Dom over Meneses, with Ruiz DH, but Meneses has been quite hot.

i fixed the lineup, Zuck had both Vargas and Kieboom playing 3rd.

Vargas costs us two runs

has a ball been hit to him? I'm following on FG and they said a single (Vladi Jr) was hit to 3rd and then a double on a fly to CF scored 2.

Saw the replay on Kirk's double. It was Alu in left who missed it. Are you saying that had it been Call in the line up in left, Alu would have been at 2d and Vargas on the bench, and Call would have caught it?

Fell asleep on the double steal and was ten feet from second base. Runner was going to be out by 8 feet

Kieboom!!

Can’t get this fat boy out

At the very worst, Kieboom is our everyday 3B next year until House is ready.

aspenbubba · « **Reply #17:** August 30, 2023, 04:37:29 PM »

Crap!!! I missed Young’s double. I fell asleep. I’ve been his advocate for the past month or so.
