    Usually Espada waits for the series win before deploying a lineup like this, but he has the home-stand win clinched so rolled this out. I see you working Espada.

    Taillon has had some good seasons in the MLB but this year he is subpar.

    -0.1 bWAR
    4.47 ERA vs 5.19 FIP (suggests he's been a bit lucky)
    85 ERA+
    21 HRs allowed (most in the AL)

    Cam Smith or Bake Meyer not batting 1st?!?!? I hope I’m wrong and we win the series.

    I had him on my radar a bit earlier in his career as a "get out of Pittsburgh" project ala Cole

    Punt lineup but we still gotta win the series. Can’t let the Cubs take the series.

    Framber hung that curveball. Lucky Tuck didn't smash that out of there.

    I feel like if he’s spiriting out of the box, that could have been a double

    He was sprinting, he's just extremely slow.
