Righties Nottingham at first, Taylor in CF and Reyes at third against L Kim?

 

Big Dan V has been hot lately, but the Sheriff has better #s vs Ls

 

Shaw's and Reyes' wRC+ #s are only 4 points different over the last 7 days.

 

Taylor has been feasting on Ls this year (.444)

[Hopper]

I have Peralta on a few fantasy teams.

If I start him, he will get shelled.

If I sit him, he'll go 6 innings, 2 hits 1 run, 9 K's.

I'll take one for the team and bench him today.

We appreciate your sacrifice

Release him for the no hitter.

I just traded him after his last start. Typically that means he'll be on no-hit watch.

No Garcia in tonight's lineup. Odd considering the lefty on the mound and how hot he's been. I wonder if he's nursing something?

Seems likely to me.

 

Also Suter is back

Pre-planned day off.

 

According to the day off schedule made 2 weeks ago, it's his day off.

LOL you aren't really wrong.

[Outlander]

First glance I don't like Shaw batting cleanup but looking at the lineup don't know who else to put there unless Garcia was playing.

[Eye Black]

A key tonight might be how Freddy Peralta is able to handle Paul Goldschmidt. Previously Freddy has faced him 6 times, and Goldy is 4-for-5 with 2 home runs and a walk in those plate appearances.

[Eye Black]

Freddy having a little bit of trouble with his command early tonight. Gets through the 1st inning on 23 pitches, but no damage done.

[RollieTime]

Wong has such a good approach at the plate.

[yourout]

Wong has such a good approach at the plate.

 

It's becoming a lost art.

[nate82]

[sarcasm]But he swung at a 1-0 pitch! Must make pitcher work every PA!!!! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!![/sarcasm]

Hoping at some point it rubs off on some of the other players

[nate82]

Taylor popped up a pitch he should be hammering out of the park uggggg. It is going to be one of those games isn't it?

[jason21nl]

Having a real tough time getting behind this team.

[wallus]

Made Yadi look bad there

[JET15]

So fun to watch Molina get a K

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I know it's hard to change your approach, and, generally, the launch angle apprpach works. But, yeah, that doesn't mean it's good in every instance all the time. I think way too many players are applying a blanket mindset where a fine-tuned one would be much better.

[yourout]

Those shots to the middle of the chest can be dangerous.

If it hits just wrong it can stop the heart.

Brewers had a lower level prospect that that happened to a couple years ago. Thankfully, I believe he survived and made a full recovery.
