    Someone tell me why Straw batting 2nd make any sense at all? And also tell me why Toro still in the lineup.

    Toro I assume to give Diaz the first half off. I'd option his @ss down when Bregman comes back. Diaz and Mayfield can handle the backup IF.

    Nice job, bats. Now don't screw this up Bielak.

    Bielak isn’t that good for now.

    Time to get Brandon some more runs. I like how he gets his composure together after mistakes, and I also like that today he's been getting whiffs at a better rate.

    Ugh. Just as I get a little more confident in Bielak, something happens. Still think he can be a solid 4 or 5 starter in time, though it may not be us. Would love to have one of our pitching draftees become a rotation staple.

    At this point, do we have a corpse we can throw out there in place of Bielak?

    In a shortened season, pitching needs to be shortened. Once you have a big lead, the starting pitcher has a 5.40 ERA and against Mike Trout with a player on. Time for Bielak to hit the shower.

    They have 6 relievers to cover 2 7-inning games today, with the game 2 starter making his season debut.

    This is not a normal day.

    I'd roll with Paredes in the 6th and Taylor in the 7th assuming Devo holds it.
