Just can’t understand how Adley continues hitting 2nd and the guy with zero ability to drive in runners hits 4th. But do go on about Hyder’s managerial abilities. 

Adley shouldn’t be batting 2nd against righties. But I guess the only reason Hyde is doing it because of the Little League RF? Either way, this club needs more out of Santander. And Cowser needs to do better with runners on.

I think that's the A lineup - exactly the same as Sunday except the 2-5 toggle of Westburg and Adley for LH/RH.

The Westburg and Urias placements 5 and 8 - it feels intentional to narrowly bypass three LH bats in a row for the Tims Hill and Mayza.

Will Mountcastle pinch hit for O'Hearn or Kjerstad when the time comes?

O'Hearn I would hope, to double as a defensive replacement.  Plus, Kjerstad can hit lefties.

Hopefully only for O'Hearn.

With Mountcastle back O’Hearn needs to return to being strictly a platoon player. Plus Mountcastle is a much better defender at 1B.

Agreed. Platoon and keep off the field as much as possible.

I'd like to see Kjerstad and Cowser flipped.
