I feel like every year we have numerous games where we end up needing a big hit off the bench and have to go with a trash lefty/lefty matchup. Is it that difficult to construct a lineup and bench with some balance?

Haha.

 

I mean honestly, I know against the lefty you are going to have most of your righties in there, but you'd think especially on a bullpen day you'd want at least one righty on your bench. Seems like they go a little overboard every year on their lefties and end up in this situation regularly.

When you only have like 4 position players on the bench, and one of those is the backup catcher, there aren’t likely to be a lot of good PH options if you have to start using them in the 4th inning.

 

Like it matters when they are essentially throwing in the towel with the pitchers they’re forced to use. It’s pretty likely the Marlins will be getting to double digits today as they continue to look like a much better team than the Brewers.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

The Marlins actually know how to hit a baseball.

If this is a lost Yelich season I would guess that this is closer to a 75 win team than a 90 win team.

 

If they don't right the ship soon we'll be lucky if we win 75. We have no Hiura, Yelich, Narvaez, Pina, Anderson, Lindblom, Burnes...the list goes on and on.

A big chunk their preferred starters are on the DL (Burnes, Anderson, Narvaez, Yelich) they’ve had a tough schedule to start the year, and Miami can pitch... they’ll be okay

It would suck to be Nottingham.

 

He knows damn well he is gone as soon as Narvy and Pina return...

 

He shouldn't be. Maile is trash.

 

You think they will keep 3 catchers?

 

Both Maile and Nottingham are goners when they get back.

All I said was that if it's a lost year for Yelich, I'd put them closer to a 75 win team than a 90...so basically without Yelich I'd take the under on 82.5.

 

That seems optimistic to me, frankly.

Nottingham is nothing special, but honestly there are probably 5 to 10 guys on this roster that deserve to be DFAed before he gets it again. I can't even really make any case for Vogelbach keeping a spot over Nottingham other than Vogelbach being left handed.
