I guess Connor Joe is being punished for having too many hits yesterday.

Sheltington are always the smartest guys in the room. They can't let the players succeed without making changes. It was commonplace last year for guys to be benched following a standout game. Good to see that practice continuing. After all, it netted them 62 wins last year! :D

Joe has been “Sheltied” today. Who will it be tomorrow?

Reporting live from PNC Park. Back to normal, not many here. Hope the winning keeps up and see bigger crowds. As far as who plays, Shelton basically has some guys in a rotation and they know when they play. We already know tomorrow is going to be an interesting lineup. I suspect Suwinski is about ready to be put in the witness protection plan.

Shelty just said on his radio show that Joe played yesterday because he is a great reverse split guy against Giolito as the reason why Joe played yesterday. ::) ::) ::) ::)

And Choi kills the rally with a 3-pitch K.

So far Santana is making Cherington look good

Can't say the same for Choi

However it is only 8 games in
