5 IP 67 pitches and Murphy pulls him? I mean he gave up the walk but come on you can't do that

yea I'd agree on this one.  Made me double check if there's an off day tomorrow and there is not.

Not much fun watching a significant chunk of this lineup step to the plate.

That'll happen when half the lineup consists of should be minor leaguers.

Which 4-5 players of the 9 player lineup would those be?

[MrTPlush]

Chourio is brutal. Since a homer and two walks on April 20th:

1 XBH / 1 BB / 0 RBI / 1 multi-hit game 

A lot less K's is about the only consolation prize (especially in the last 10 games or so).

Who knows then but I'm sure there was a reason and it seemed to work out.

I agree with the constellation part ... Chourio is gonna' be a star!

Allowed a run in a close game, Got into the bullpen early with one of the best arms, when our depth is struggling. 

[Team Canada]

Sanchez now up to .860 OPS.

[Brian]

Sanchez does have some power. Go's yard. 

[treego14]

Gary is scary!

His smack goes over the warning track!

[liveforoctober]

Left handed hitters just have better looking swings... so home runs from them are always better.

However Gary Sanchez has a great home run swing.

Which 4-5 players of the 9 player lineup would those be?

Bauers, Sanchez, Dunn, Perkins

I'll save you time on Perkins since that's where the argument will probably come, he started nicely but he's hitting .211 over his last 20 games since hitting .367 over his first 8 games. 

Sanchez provides one thing and one thing only and he doesn't provide it at an elite enough pace to be as poor a hitter as he is. 

Bauers and Dunn are self explanatory. 

[yfinn6]

WHY

Sanchez started out rough, but he's pretty much doing what we expected of him. 

[duewizard]

I hate you Jason Lane

[kevinisaname]

You have Contreras up. No reason to send there against a guy who has a huge arm.

[liveforoctober]

Dang, Dunn had a bad read off the bat. Tough send, not mad at it but dang.

Bauers, Dunn sure. Perkins is a great 4th OF. One of the best defenders at his position, Sánchez is doing what he is paid to do. Hit bombs and give Contreras off days.

[HarryDoyle]

Too much exit velocity.

Chourio should be in AAA in terms of actually play/development at this point.   Due to injury though you can't

I get why they sent there due to the OF running to the side so its a tough throw.   But I probably take my chances 2nd and 3rd 1 out once Dunn correctly hesitated to make sure it was down. 

[stoutdude04]

I guess I just wonder...why?  The two best hitters are due up.

Chourio is 20. He's also been hitting over .300 over the last week.
