Is it possible to alter the rules and just have Yaz, Solano and Flores to hit for the entire team?

If teams can pick someone to hit for the pitcher because they want to see more offense, why not get rid of the lineups entirely and just send up whomever you want? I think this is the obvious next step.

Sucks!

Just when I thought Gott was one of the few good pitchers in the bullpen . . .
But, you know, Menez needed to go down for . . . uh . . . he needed to rest his arm for the stretch run?

Man, I turned it off at 6-0. Come back to see we lost?!? Sigh

Bullpen sucked.

Hitters stopped hitting after the 6-0 lead.

We are 1/3rd of the way finished on the season (technically, that was before today's game) and here's the highlight players on the team:
Donovan Solano - .458/.476/.661
Mike Yastrzemski - .314/.448/.629
Austin Slater - .342/.444/.632
Alex Dickerson - .271/.327/.458
Hey, at least, for now, we finally have a good hitting outfield.
I almost added Wilmer Flores. I guess, on this team, his season would be a highlight but his numbers aren't that great. They aren't horrible (like pretty much the rest of the season), just meh.

Tony Watson - 0.82 WHIP, 2.45 ERA
Sam Selman - 0.86 WHIP, 1.29 ERA
Conner Menez - 0.97 WHIP, 2.38 ERA
Well, at least there are some good bullpen guys. Of course, one is at the alternate site and another is a fill in for an injured pitcher, but better than nothing. Cueto and Gausman are one or two more good starts from making this list.

Eli asks if we can finally stop blaming him now.

If he has to ask...

I have a gut feeling that Pence is about to get rolling... fingers crossed it's not all that Taco Bell coming back to haunt me...

And I can't seriously rule out Longo just yet... again, good chance it's the Taco Bell talking...
