Why not? Looks good to me for Game 2 of a DH against back to back LHP. I guess you could have Urias DH?

Urias or Frazier would have provided a boost. Screw the splits. Frazier was one of the few that actually got a hit in game one and he's come through in clutch situations all season long, regardless of the splits. Plus they're paying him $8,000,000 to sit on the bench.

O's had nine hits in the first game.

As long as they win, I won't care what I thought about the order before the game. Let's go Orioles.

Hopefully they knock the lefty out and bring in the LHBs. That is how this roster is designed to be used.

So far so good. That bottom of the lineup that I was so concerned about is making me look like an idiot. And I don't care because the Orioles are in a rally and winning.

Looking forward to when our backup catcher has the most starts at DH over anyone else on the team!

If we keep facing LHP like this he's going to keep getting ABs.  And really there's no good argument against it.

Mateo moving on up.

OPS+ of 65!

McCann sure is playing practically every time we face a LHP.  McCann has been active for 20 games.  He’s started 10 games this year, 9 against LHP.
