Very odd lineup. Wade with his amazing OBP moved out of the leadoff spot (i guess get more power and sustained rallies?). Joc not in against an RHP (must be dinged up?)

Pedo was hit in the hand by a pitch yesterday. Not surprised to see him get a breather.

Alexander is another fine dumpster dive find. 3 inherited runners. All three score. One on a balk. Two on a triple. Who signs these guys? And who are the bullpen coaches? Whatever they are doing sure isn't working. Disco had a nice five innings before the wheels fell off, and he will take the loss. Tough spot to inherit for sure, bases loaded and no outs. But you gotta limit the damage. Alexander added to the damage.

Alexander was one guy who looked good late in 2022. I had hopes he could carry that forward, considering how he's pitched prior to that when healthy. Either he isn't healthy or he is having a really off season so far.

Disco can't blame the bully there. He was a shitshow in the sixth. Unacceptable.

Did Kap leave him in too long? He was only at about 70 pitches to start the inning.

Yes, but he got bent over by the horrible plate ump with that BS clock call against him right before he gave up the gig hit. Granted, Disco gave up the hits and loaded the bases, but the ump got in his head with maybe the worst clock call ever.

No. He was ump-jacked in the 6th. And he let it get in his head.

So, Crawford is going to be activated tomorrow. Who gets sent down to make room for him?

With the current configuration and situations, 2 possibilities…

Pedo to IL
Villar to Sacto

Nope. He just inexplicably shit the bed.

He's got to be more professional than that. Its on him.

I think my Hebrew is heading to the IL.

Agree. But timely ump-fuckage is a thing.

I forgot about Villar. That seems very possible.

I thought the X-ray came back clean. I would think he'll just sit for a couple more days.
