I know we've all thought this all along.

But....if Prince comes to life for real, this is one scary-ass-lineup IMO.

Before today's HR and walk, he's had a .281/.347/.453/.800 run since the sit down in Seattle

Progress for sure but not fantastic, but as Romeo said, he's gonna play so it would nice to see him hit at least RHPs, but he really still shouldn't be in there versus LHPs

IDK Bush has been up warming too

No I'm not saying thats what they do/did, that's what I think they should have done

Bush has been overused, not the guy I would've brought in though

BTW I was about 3 minutes behin on my game feed

Id take an .800 OPS from him going forward all day.

Give credit where due, and Busby's comments on Bush were pretty darn good and accurate.

Not with a 5 run lead. But I also get the point of getting him back out there quickly after his dumpster fire outing last time too.

Yeah Tolley had been up and Bush was up. I wasn't sure what/who exactly was coming in but coming off the injury and Perez at 98 pitches, I was thinking they wouldn't take any chances w Perez. He had just been getting hit a bit harder that last inning. I think Banny honestly wanted Bush to have a shot at redemption a bit there, not that I wouldn't have given him the day off again myself

Tolley may get the 8th.

All comments I had made myself, but he's never going to progress if he's not pushed a little

I made one comment concerning what I thought they would do based on the situation and another based on what I would actually do

He's not really coming off an injury anymore, that shouldn't really be used as an excuse now

If his hand is bothering him some, then that's different
