I thought Urias started? Then was replaced. He can play the field?

He was in the initial lineup but scratched before lineups were exchanged.  So he was never in the game.  I assume he can bat but they don't want him in the field so they used him to hit for Diplan.  All that's left on the bench is Wynns and Mountcastle.

Twenty eight man roster and a two person bench. 

[scOtt]

Only the one. But a run is a run is a run.

 

Who was up in the Pen?

[scOtt]

Eshelman! Long man. Hopefully...

[scOtt]

Oh! It hit the bag at 2B. I thought it was Val's foot.

[scOtt]

OUCH! That was Gregorious' foot!

[scOtt]

Can of corn.

Yeah we used Urias and McKenna to hit for Ps, and we just disabled DJ Stewart and brought up a pitcher.

Baseball in the 2020s.  Ugh

Roch quoted Hyde saying something about him not "being stretched out" so maybe we only get a couple innings out of Esh.

[scOtt]

Easy inning except for the "single" off the 2B bag

[scOtt]

Throws 100!

[scOtt]

1-2-3 for Esh!

[SteveA]

Eshelman hitting here...odd move.

If I was tanking, I would have hit him too.
