I would be OK to DFA Pedro too. Whatever it takes to get Trumbo out of RF. Trading Trumbo would work too.

It is strange as bad as team is no one has been DFAd.  Even Tillman couldn't get himself DFAd.   If. I were in charge Valencia,  Pedro,  Tillman,  Wright,  Satender all would have been waived.

I'm starting to be in the camp of people thinking Buck is a bit nuts. Davis batting 5th? Valencia as the DH? Jace Peterson at 3rd?

Our lineup sucks tonight.

So does the pitcher.It is ying and yang.

After the game it will be we ran into a hot pitcher... Sometimes you have to tip your cap.

It’s hard to get all of our DHs in the lineup at the same time. Trumbo, Davis, Valencia, Alvarez, Mancini. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Davis bats fifth yet again.

Not surprised (but certainly annoyed).

And Susac is starting against a right handed pitcher...

Two days in a row for Susak with a RHP on the mound?  Is Sisco okay?

The only thing that comes to mind is that Buck hates Kim.

You can't make much of a case that Sisco has looked good, but he's looked better than Susac.

Rookie needs to be able to take his bumps.  .684 OPS isn't horrible and he has been pretty good behind the plate. No reason that he should be splitting time evenly with a career backup.  

Another situation, where Buck's act is getting tired. Now maybe he plans to play Sisco the next five games in a row and wants to give him a breather.  Doubt it though.

Yesterday the "real" starter was a lefty, Yarbrough.   Romo was only going one inning.  And Buck knew it. 

I don't know who the real starter is today, after Stanek.  Maybe it's another lefty, and maybe Buck knows that.

Fair enough.  Sisco needs to learn to hit lefties at some point too though.  No time to learn like the present and when we are 17 games below .500.
