I think I would flip Reynolds and Chavis in the order. Maybe batting lower might take some pressure off Reynolds and help get him going. It would also make the lineup better as long as Reynolds is slumping.

Maybe we should hope for no hits again. It worked the last time.

I wonder how far Peters goes tonight if he's pitching well. I don't think he even got to 50 pitches last time. Not sure if they might want to consider stretching him out now and taking a spot in the rotation. Maybe they'll just keep him in the hybrid role. His interview with Ishkabibble, I got the impression he isn't exactly thrilled about it.

Agree, I'd also swap Yoshi and Suwinski too. Suwinski has shown he can hit the ball out. Maybe lower in the order Yoshi can keep working on being a slap hitting, on base kind of guy because that's what it looks like he's trying to do.

Chavis goes to 1st and Castillo to second. Funny how I read Castillo thought he was ready to go on a hot streak and now he gets pine 2 days in a row. Tsutsugo is bad at baseball .

Me too! While we are at it… Ke’Bryan Hayes hit 5 HR in his first 95 plate appearances. He has hit 6 in his last 530. ???

Maybe he is our table setter?

Audio is not matching to the picture on ATT sportsnet, there's like a delay. IDK why I find it distracting.

Pirates still haven't had a hit since Castro's one out single in the bottom of the 7th on Saturday
