Some of the posters here remind me of the Carrie Fisher character in “When Harry Met Sally”: “he’s never going to leave his wife, is he?”    Well, duh no, he isn’t.    When Elias traded Mancini a

The gist of this entire thread for many posters seems to be: 1.  Play your nine best players everyday and never give any of them a day off, because we’re in a playoff race, dammit! 2.  The b

I don't like the lineup either, but I'm hoping the outrage on OH seals the reverse lock and the Orioles score 8 runs tonight. 

Seriously though is Stowers dealing with a minor injury? When is he going to get back into the lineup. 

Tomorrow. No Chirinos, Aguilar tomorrow. No McKenna. 
 

Santander DH, Adley C. Stowers in OF.

I can see giving the lefties the night off against a LH starting pitcher.  I just wish we had a better option than Chirinos as our backup catcher.  When you were hoping for 70+ wins, Chirinos was a reasonable choice.  Now that they're in the playoff hunt, not so much.  And, I would prefer Henderson at 3B and Urias at 2B.

If I’m being honest my biggest concern tonight is Gunnar at 2nd. Not sure why he doesn’t use Gunnar at 3rd, Urias at 2nd. 
 

Gunnar has the skill to play anywhere and Urias is real good at 3rd. That said Gunnar doesn’t have a lot of time at 2nd.

Until this year, I often wondered whether some of Hyde's odd (odd to me, at least) lineups and bullpen moves were dictated by Elias, expressly or as a result of general directions or guidance from the GM. I thought we were past that this year, but putting Aguilar in the lineup, and batting him fifth, makes me wonder about that.

Urias stinks at 2nd

Same with Brett Phillips, right? I hope they don't give Aguilar 17 AB to prove that yes in fact he stinks. Fact is, he should not in a the lineup of a playoff contending team. He was cut by a team 20 games under .500.

Voth was cut by a team 41 games under.

Chirinos has been playing much better though when he getting limited starts.  I believe he led the team in average and Ops in August in those limited at bats.

I get the Adley slump and Mullins splits against lefties.. but throwing McKenna and Chirinos out there on the same night against a pitcher who beat us earlier in the year doesn't seem like a good plan to me. Again, anything less than a sweep in this series is fairly unacceptable. Sure hope these guys can step up. I am still very concerned about this offense even though we just had maybe our best road trip of the year. It was HRs or nothing with great starting pitching. Can't expect that pitching to continue.

It’s major League baseball. The idea that ‘anything less than a sweep is unacceptable’ is absurd.   Calm down. It’s going to be OK.

.400 / .478 / .550 / 1.028, with a homer, 3 walks, and 4 RBIs in 23 PAs.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
