First game without Hyde managing.  Braxton was a Hyde pick up.

Who do you think made up the line up card?

Hmm, Davis gets the start against the southpaw. Smyly is struggling, but I guess with no Wilkerson this is what we can expect.

The way I look at it, is that he's getting the start over DJ Stewart.  

Is it just me or have we been facing a lot of lefties lately?  A lot of lineups with Alberto in there lately.

Ok, I'm running on no sleep today and didn't pick up on that. Stewart needs playing time or is he going to get platooned against LHP?

He doesn't have bad platoon splits and he's been playing against lefties so far.

I feel he (and anyone else really) needs playing time over Davis, yes.

Agreed, but I guess they want to include Davis in his first game off the IL. Might see DJ off the bench at some point? Just to cycle guys in.

We now have 5 lefty hitters on the team and still just a 3 man bench, so at least 2 have to play.   Smith can handle LH pitching OK so he's one of them.

Sisco can platoon with Severino, so he can sit vs LH and still play 70% of the time.

Ruiz will sit vs lefties, as Hanser kills them.

That leaves Davis and Stewart.

So there's basically 2 options when facing a lefty:

A.  Mancini in right, Davis at 1st, Stewart sits.

or

B.  Stewart in right, Mancini at 1st, Davis sits.

 

Tonight Hyde went with option A.   I think we have another lefty tomorrow, maybe he'll go with option B.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I vote for option B.

Everybody does. But there are 160 million reasons why A will be the choice for a while.

And I was right, tonight he went with option B.
