That name... I keep thinking the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I guess kind of like Raptors were named on the hype of Jurassic Park

Missed the most Winner-nyess of wins watching the Leafs. Nice to see a good game by Kikuchi tho. And hopefully are bats start heating up.

Glad we're finally not facing a good team so hopefully the Bats can get going here. Not worried about the Yankees too much they've had a cupcake schedule.

Worse. He's leading off.

No Springer and no Teoscar either. Hoping for the rainout (which, judging by the forecast, we may very well get).

so george DH'ed yesterday and he's down today. either charlie is moronically babying him or he's dealing with something bad enough that he can't be out in the field every day. either way it means more ABs for zimmer and tapia which is never good when you're trying to win.

How Charlie creates a lineup:

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Only one of these teams has Tapia leading off and it isn’t Cleveland.

Why is the worst hitter on the team batting leadoff in front of the team’s best hitters

Tapia has put up negative WAR and is rewarded with leading off lmao. If we're benching Springer have Espinal lead off at least or just put Bo leadoff and bump everyone up.
