Another series where we should pick up some wins.

This is really getting fun. Win another series. I'm not expecting a sweep every time they go out, but just keep winning series and they will be in good shape.

I know you iike to rest your players, but why rest the hottest player on the planet?

 

[Threedee]

Julio Rodriguez is getting the day off. He was dealing with some cramping at the end of yesterday’s game. He could still play late in the game if needed

Hope this isn’t SS being stupid. If you want to rest Julio you DH him.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Don’t think we will need Julio! Great start.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Their pitcher can’t throw strikes. Apparently he has one of the highest walk rates amongst starting pitchers.

The man has been on a tear... JP is back give him a spell bring him back tomorrow

The question is.. where do you bat Julio when he hits the lineup again.... I love JP at lead.. but Julio has been RELISHING that position... such a hard lineup decision there

Feel like Scott was giving himself a day before the fan base killed him over his lineup choices heh

Great 1st inning start!

How about have JP bat 2nd?

Still in the first inning. This is the type of game where the mariners relax too much and let the other team back in it. Hope I’m wrong.

Usually happens.

This is the fourth game in a row Castillo has gotten big run support, especially early in the game.

 

[fenderbender123]

On pace to score 45 against the White Sox. Not bad.

 

[sutz]

I think I prefer letting Julio drop back to 3, or at least 2. More chances for him to hit with men on base, and he'll still likely get at least 4 ABs per game.

He’s your hottest hitter, DH him if you want to give him a day off since you pretty much said he’s available late in the game. I don’t remember Griffey or Edgar getting days off on the middle of a hot streak.

I like JP more as the lead off. JP walks A LOT. Let Julio drive him in from the 2 hole.

it's just if your on a roll.. you keep it rolling.

 

[sutz]

OK, we can afford to give up a single run here and there and still stay out of trouble.

The guy is one of the top categories in LOB.
