You might have spoken too soon. Of course they'll probably IBB Mercer and have a chance to get out of the inning with the pitcher and then maybe Harrison up.
3B Harrison RF Polanco CF McCutchen 2B Walker LF Marte 1B Alvarez C Cervelli SS Mercer P Locke CF Gomez C Lucroy RF Braun 3B Ramirez LF Davis 1B Lind SS Segura 2B Gennett P Fiers So we're really doing this Lind against LHP thing?
27 is a young starter? If that's all we can get for Segura, I'm more than fine keeping him. If he improves, great. If he doesn't, it's not like we're missing out on good players.
Somebody asked (sounded like Haudricourt) if they thought about bringing Smith in in the 8th. Roenicke says they talked about it but right now they decided that Broxton's going to be the 8th inning pitcher and if it changes we have to have the conversation to match up the 7th and 8th. We have three guys we like there and maybe we'll try to match it up better. We like "Brox" and that's not going to happen very often but it was set up, no question it was set up better for a lefty. So he admits that it was set up better for a lefty but decided against giving his team a better chance to win. It's astounding how much this entire franchise pisses me off.
