Wow, that’s a right-heavy lineup…

 

[Brightboat]

Yikes. The dreaded Sunday Getaway Day Lineup that the previous two managers were famous for. Might surprise us

Except for one glaring exception. Luci must be headed for Sac.

Surprising stat of the day: The Giants are 8th in the entire Major Leagues with a 107 OPS+

 

[tzill]

Both Soler and Flores have some good history vs. Manaeuuuugh.

Only McKenna is even remotely controversial. How is this a “getaway” lineup, outside of the fact that it is the lineup for the getaway game?

Maybe Wisely over Luciano but the rest are definitely starters on the roster as it is currently constructed.

I didnt include Luciano because of what we have been discussing about him recently. He has a glaring hole in his game that damn near makes him unplayable.

Wisely is untested and the best hitter on the team, Wade, is out of the lineup but ya, , I guess with all the injuries this lineup isn’t so bad

 

[Sandisfan]

Of course Soler with a runner on third first pitch out. UGH His hitting with men on base might be historic. UGH

Good point. Flores over Wade is interesting but not unusual.

Wade has a hammy issue. Not surprising at all.

 

[calsnowskier]

That was one of the more horrible replay challenges I have seen. Not sure what our replay guys were looking at.

 

[calsnowskier]

Wisely is definitely making himself known. He wants to make sure the org doesn’t forget about him with Fitz and Lucky getting the bulk of the attention.

To be fair, Soler has been getting some bad BABIP luck recently.

 

[msgkings322]

Chapman had a home run stolen by Bader. Webb dealing again. So far so good

 

[calsnowskier]

Soler is slowly coming out of his funk. He is getting some base hits and getting BABIPed. But I can see a guy who can carry a team for a week+ in there, trying to get out.

 

[msgkings322]

Well we were due to have another one of these. Sucks but nothing to cry about. Be great if we can take two from Philly. Can’t get swept again

It’s different than how I see them but so far the hitting has actually been better than the pitching especially the bullpen
