Only 3 things are certain: death, taxes and Polanco in the lineup. Tonight he lugs his hefty .197 BA into the game.

Go easy on our dear Polanco. He’s there to help the team lose. He’s actually quite good at it.

It appears that Shelty doesn't like to have two Orientals in the lineup on the same day

Another stellar defensive play by Polanco. >:( What a complete waste of a player he is.

Castro flubs a ground ball by Goldschmidt, it rolls behind him, he chases it down in short CF, grabs it, spins, throws to 1B and STILL gets Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt must be incredibly slow.

Just saw the video. He waved at the ball like it was a passing bus he was trying to catch. His inability to play defense never surprises me.
