Or O'Hearn. And starting Mullins and Urias who are 0 for 21 vs this pitcher. I like the defense but seems Sigbot is short circuiting.

I don't think BvP numbers are the best way to decide how to make a lineup, especially against a pitcher they haven't faced in 2 years.

Also, this is Rasmussen's second "start" since coming off a rehab from his 3rd TJS. I reckon he's not going to go longer than 3 innings. In his rehab starts, he went 1-2 IP max. Same as his last start in the majors. I reckon it'll be more of the same.

Ah, so this is an opener situation? Do we know who is the real bulk pitcher today?

I don’t have any inside info, but from looking at their pitcher usage, I’d say it’ll probably be Tyler Alexander.

Good guess. So Hyde is keeping the bats available and going with defense the first time through the order. Interesting gamesmanship. 

I hope the O's pay attention and consider using Bradish similarly next year.

They don’t think he stays in for more than one time thru order.

Let’s get that Mayo first hit off the board.

Decent Sunday lineup 

[Fiver6565]

It seems that what acquiring Jimenez has done is given Adley more full days off. I’m not sure he’s been in the lineup as DH since we got him. Even if he has its certainly not the same frequency. Hopefully a more rested Adley pays off down the stretch. Eloy continuing to contribute helps too.

Yeah no kidding. Maybe a couple clean plays on a row at third also. Get the kid feeling a little more at home.

Not sure why Holliday is behind Mayo.

Put a lefty between to right handed hitters.  Also, Mayo may get better pitches to hit if he bats in front of a hot hitter.

I don’t think it matters a heck of a lot in the grand scheme of things.

We need the 900 OPS vs LHP Mounty today.
