Starting Lineups and Starting pitchers for today's game
Notes:
-Pete's playing today despite being sick and is at 1B instead of DH (thought Buck might rest him after last night)
-Pham's in LF and McNeil's in RF
-Marte is resting and Bucks has---surprise, surprise---left Vientos out of the lineup.
-Alvarez is resting today with Perez getting the start at Catcher.
-Escobar is at 2B again.
-At least Baty's in the lineup today...
#LFGM!

Giolito is the guy for me... give him a run and see if he's a NY fit, then resign him.
and trade who?
id want hendriks in the deal also, and for both id give up someone in the top 100's. would try to headline with 1 of alex ramirez, jett williams, or if they buy the hype on vasil maybe him? if push came to shove and parada was the deal breaker id consider it since his d at catcher is presently shaky.
the vasil break out this year is a nice story but giolito is a known quantity. and hendriks possibly makes up for losing diaz. even if he's pitching well his salary is high enough he shouldnt be too prohibitive to get (kind of like iglesias for atlanta last year).
shouldn't we focus on keeping our cost controlled pitching for once so we don't have to keep shelling out expensive short term deals.
id rather shell out for pitching personally. jt ginn was a cost controlled pitcher traded for bassitt, and the latter was a big part of last year's team and ate a ton of quality innings. ginn is about to turn 24 still getting lit up in AA.
pitcher development is a lot more unpredictable than hitter development. I hated the stroman trade at the time but neither of SWR/kay amounted to anything. matt allan's career never even got on track bc of injuries.
so yeah, since we have cohen's $ ill just sign vets to eat innings. they wont all be 40 years old, some can be younger like senga (or in this case, giolito).
Nido beginning a rehab assignment in St. Lucie. Locastro to 60 day. Perez to AAA. Still need another move for Carrasco.
agreed this is the team's best lineup right now. maybe they told buck if any of the kids suck for a few days he gets to personally tell them they are getting demoted?
And there’s always some that will ball wash the Manager/FO no matter what.
Listen, say stupid things…win stupid prizes. And Buck has said a lot of stupid things, been stubborn to make obvious moves to improve the team, all while his $350 million team is playing like a bottom feeder in the league. Buck and company is absolutely deserved of criticism. It’s weird that this bothers some people.

HAHAHA!! You owe me a new laptop, I just spit my beer all over it...
