Happily, though being honest I'd rather see him at bat than Mateo.

Don't worry, he'll have a pinch hit homerun in the 8th inning.  No problem.

Adley had a full off day recently. My prediction would be we will see him at DH or at least as a PH. Maybe rest Gunnar to start but use him as a PH for Ortiz or Mateo at the first opportunity. Hicks is slightly better vs LHP for his career. I would definitely start him over McKenna. Santander is even more so. Only way McKenna should be in the lineup is if Adley needs to rest and Santander DH. 

 

Lol I got Adley at DH correct.

I miss Mountcastle for this matchup.

he is going to use his bench early and often, especially against a guy like Kikuchi who doesn't usually last beyond 6.

You called it there.

It was quite creative of them to start Urias at 1B. That was one way to get all of those infielders in the lineup including Ortiz. I wouldn't want to put Urias there every day though. That one ball that zipped by him showed it can be a little uncomfortable from that angle of the diamond after playing so many games at 3B the past year.

Today the Orioles face the right handed Hendricks. O'Hearn had been on a hot streak this past week or so, but he's 0 for 3 against Hendricks in his career.

So... Who are you starting at 1B today? O'Hearn, Lester, or Santander? Or maybe another surprise with James McCann? (I hope not but I wouldn't put anything past them at this point.)

Talk about small sample size!  O’Hearn starts IMO.

06/16 lineup vs the Cubs.

I am not missing Mountcastle.

Also, given Frazier's history of success against Hendricks, this might be one game where I'd have preferred him batting leadoff to hopefully get one more at bat against the SP.

But hopefully Gunnar is still on his heater and does some damage out of the leadoff spot.

The Gunnar Adley 1-2 punch is awesome. This time next year that premium thump is going to continue down the line-up 5 or 6 deep.

Just heard on Peacock pregame Gunnar is a late scratch from lineup
