It's the usual Shelty screwed-up lineup. I'm done explaining his srewyness.

The Reds just signed Smith today, and he is in the lineup tonight. Somehow him being here will effect the outcome of the game.

As long as Grandal is in the starting line-up, I will refrain from commenting
until later in the game. Just seeing him there makes my blood boil.

Possum, Wizard-look on the bright side.
Shelty has grudgingly moved Connor Joe to 6th in the order!!!!
But hey, let's keep the hitter that hits lefties the best in the lineup, buried down at 5th in the order!!!!
That's right, Oneil Cruz is our best hitter, our biggest threat against righties or lefties, and there he sits, fifth in the order!
He should be hitting third, Bart should be cleanup, BDLC 5th, Triolo 6th, Grandal 7th, then Joe, then Taylor.
Actually, go IKF-Cruz-Bart-BDLC-Reynolds-Grandal-Triolo-Joe-Taylor

Skenes pitching, I'm watching. Be cool to sweep them. I have not seen crowd yet but imagine it will be large.

No it won't. Might hit 20,000 barring incredible walk up. I mentioned this to Doc, the new car smell is gone with Skenes. People are tired of going to see him pitch and leave with the game tied 0-0

I think I might text play by play to the Wizard, but only when Grandal is up to bat
