If you squint and give Dickerson and Yaz and Solano credit for being good hitters, or at least respectable, that almost looks like a legit lineup. Almost.

My eyes hurt now.

Interesting to see Duggar stuck in right field. Is his glove no longer center field worthy? If so, that explains why this is his first game of the season.

Good point re: Duggar. Maybe it is similar to what they did with Pillar. Pillar got moved because, at the time they say Duggar as a part of the future, so they were investing in his playing Center.

maybe now, Duggar has simply fallen out of favor and now they investing in Yaz playing the position??

How good is Yaz in center anyway? If he is anything less that good, it says a lot more about how they feel about Duggar than how they feel about Yaz.
A counter point would be that they sent down two outfielders for Duggar, so they still see something in him. Of course, the counter to that counter is that this is FZ we are talking about here. Transactions are his addiction.

Got no problem with Duggar playing right at home. Heard the other night that Oracle is the toughest right field to play.

What I read was that Yaz was doing so well that they didn't want to upset his flow by moving him. They want him to get comfortable in CF. They still consider Duggar to the superior defenseman.

Told ya that lineup could maybe score some runs. Yaz my goodness I hope he's for real.

How does Yaz go years and years without getting an opportunity and then come in at this age to slug so well? Dickerson kinda similar, too, though he did get some MLB playing time in his mid 20's.

Attaboy Solano...great AB

 

[msgkings322]

Such a Brandon Belt line: 0-2, 2 K, 3 BB.... .600 OBP ya'll!

At least neither K was looking LOL

He really is the upgraded version of J.T. Snow.

Man it is fun watching Tyler Rogers pitch

I've missed baseball...

Pretty sweet that he struck out that Padre looking on an 82 mph fastball.

Not so good this inning,

Yeah, Kapler let him pitch way too long.

 

[LHG]

Yeah, Kapler let him pitch way too long.

Of course, that must be it - its Kapler's fault . . or Whiteside's. Or maybe that wasn't really Rogers at all but some devious human that is bent on his major league career destruction. What kind of awful, despicable human could stoop to such horrendous things? I mean, we all know that Rogers is the most amazing pitcher that this team has seen in at least a generation.

Dick was pretty much all about his propensity for getting hurt. No one ever doubted his PLAYability. It has just been his AVAILability that held him back.
