Triolo at 3B (Hayes on 10-day IL). Bart is at DH with Grandal catching. Otherwise I can't complain about this lineup too much. Shelty is handcuffed by GMBC and his crappy way of acquiring and promoting players. Now if Shelty will just figure out how to manage a game to win.
I'm rooting for McKinney. On one of his player pages, there's a picture of him running after swinging, in a minor league uniform. He looks exactly how I picture Doc when he was young.
Of course, we'll never know for sure, because photography hadn't been invented when Doc was young. The closest we can get to is a couple of cave drawings.
I see Grandal is in the line-up tonight. I was ragging on him when Skenes pitched last week
and he had two hits including a Home Run. I don't care if he goes 4-4 tonight and drives in 4.
Shelton must be under some illusion that they are still in the playoff hunt. I think they are going to
have a tough time equalling last years win total especially if they shut Skenes down. Grandal won't be
here next year. In fact, I hope he is gone Sept.1. Bart should be Catching and De La Cruz who
should be here next year should be the DH. I guess the bucs got him to sit on the Bench.
Otherwise I can't complain about this lineup too much. Shelty is handcuffed by GMBC and his crappy way of acquiring and promoting players. Now if Shelty will just figure out how to manage a game to win.
