3 games within 24 hours. At least Bell isn't starting.

Not even sure why I'm showing Soroka's MLB 2025 stats . . .

Righty-heavy options for Davey today, but because Adams had the night game, it's Ruiz catching. Wood back to DH to get Call in the lineup. Rosario instead of Tena and hitting 2nd. Garcia gets the benefit of being stacked around righties and switch hitters if the Guardians try to go to a righty in relief for the bottom of the order.

Wow, why is the game this early? I'm guessing most working people & students won't be able to attend

They have a few noonish starts. One has to do with summer camps but that's during camp season. I haven't heard why this date. Maybe there's school groups?

Rosario slotting in for Tena instead of Garcia versus a LHP is interesting to me. Maybe just a decision both are bad against LHP, may as well get better defender in at 3B versus 2B

Crews slipping in lineup

No reason to play Rosario over Tena

Alex Call continues to hit well

He mashes LHP

Teams need to learn they better not Call.

Slateman · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2025, 12:58:26 pm »

Nice bounce

imref · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:17:59 pm »

Two fantastic throws by Ruiz so far.

Slateman · « **Reply #16 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:19:01 pm »

Caught stealing

GataNats · « **Reply #17 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:24:41 pm »

No more need for Bell. Keep Call in the lineup. Hits, walks, sees a ton of pitches

Slateman · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:32:46 pm »

Jacob needs a new walk up song

GataNats · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:34:16 pm »

Bad luck. Had to score there

GataNats · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:38:04 pm »

Pull him

Call has a .465 OBP after putting up a .425 OBP last year. It's not just his frequent walks, his K rate is under 10%. So he plays every day and it drops to the low 4's, he'd still lead the team in OBP.

i'm getting tired of pushing every starter too long just to avoid the bullpen.

imref · « **Reply #23 on:** May 07, 2025, 01:39:34 pm »

Darn. Left Soroka in just a bit too long.

Now, here come some guys that shouldn’t be on a roster
