Ford seems to be facing all the LHP. Garcia gets a shot at a lefty as the DH. Young plays, Lile on the bench.

Alvarez suppresses HRs by being a GB pitcher, lots of Ks, and a low HR/FB rate.

Boom! Chappy blasts one. 3-0

Why we play Chappy vs lefties.

Obligatory, why is Chapparo hitting 3rd?

No sweat bottom of the 1st.

Alvarez needs to throw his fastball more.

Mead a disaster at third

Have to improve the infield defense.

May want him here in the 3rd...

Getting Garcia at bats against LHP to try and up his trade value

varoadking · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2026, 09:55:18 pm »

Mead sure seems to be the real deal...need to get serious about unloading House while he still has some value...

Slateman · « **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2026, 09:56:50 pm »

Cmon Chappy, you know better

Or we could play Mead at 2B ....

Cj back to being awful at the plate when it counts

Slateman · « **Reply #19 on:** July 20, 2026, 09:58:48 pm »

Kind of incredible that Freeland owns us like this

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** July 20, 2026, 09:59:31 pm »

Stranding a leadoff double with 3-4-5 coming up is not good

welch · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2026, 10:08:13 pm »

Jacob Young??????
