O'Hearn had a good game yesterday.   It would be rare for Mountcastle to sit two in a row - manager's decision, but I half expect that might happen.

Urias is only 2-for-18 since returning, and could be easy to spot out against RH SP as well.

Perhaps a Vavra start. He and Frazier between 2B and RF and Santander at DH

Are there any waiver wire pitchers we can sign?  Last couple or years we signed Baker, C.Perez, Jorge Lopez, Coulombe, Voth any other I missed, that turned out pretty good for awhile. Maybe we can sign another diamond in the rough.

It's not as easy this year since we don't get early dibs on the waiver wire.

That's a decent looking lineup. Nice to see O'Hearn get more of his opportunities to stay in the lineup too.

O'Hearn keeps putting up an .840 OPS against then he needs to get at bats. They can always bench or DFA if O'Hearn cools off later.

At least Mountcastle finally got moved down to 6th.  I hated to see his sub .300 OBP hitting 3rd.

Both Cedric and Gunnar being out now, probably means he climbs back up in the lineup to at least #5 unless something surprising is done like putting O'Hearn or Hicks there.

Ugly lineup today given the injuries and poor performers.  Yuck.

Well, Lester was hitting well in AAA. Maybe that translates to a good game today.

It’s the best we can trot out there. Over 162, guys like Hicks and Lester gotta give us a little something. Day games are always going to be ugly with McCann catching. 
 

I like Hicks’ patience in the 5 spot. He’s giving us solid vet ABs.

It's not the best we can trot out there.   It's the best we are willing to trot out there without tapping into our minor league depth perhaps.

Ouch, I try not be too reactive about lineups but this one is pretty bad. Of course, that means we’ll see 8+ runs from the bottom 3, right?

DHing today. Resting him up for the trip to MIL? I don't think today would have been an option on such short notice.

I understand today, but if Gunnar ends up on the IL, I hope they call up Westburg.

It’s looking like Gunnar won’t need a trip to the IL based on Hyde’s remarks.
