Best lineup of the season.

[max silver]

Nice to see Springer in the lineup, hopefully he can actually finish the game though as we've seen him attempt to grind his way through injury plenty of times.

[BuckHenry]

Man , I hope they’re not bringing back Springer too soon !

[G-Snarls]

A series win would be huge

Let's do this!

[G-Snarls]

Great lineup indeed, best possible with what we have

Vladdy 2nd

Espinal ahead of Chapman

Yes yes yes

I don't even mind Tapia in it when he's hitting 9th

I suppose in theory I like it even better with Jansen catching, Kirk DH and Tapia on the bench but Kirk was going to catch today so this works...

[Omar]

Jano starting to feel it at the plate. Let's bench him.

Kirk and Manoah work well together. Jansen DH? Idk… he can come into the game later as a PH when Manoah is out. He’ll get enough playtime

[THANOS]

Yeah, Jansen can punch hit for Tapia or Chapman later in the game. We still have Capra and Zimmer on the bench.

Probably just a case of not wanting to start him in a day game after a night game when he just came back.

You can tell which posters here don’t watch much baseball

Can't decide whether to play Springer or Teoscar today in H2H. Springer scores at a better rate but he's also never had a comfortable looking at-bat when playing through injury. There's also the chance he feels uncomfortable in his first PA and leaves the game. Teoscar hit a bomb yesterday so maybe he's got a hot streak coming. Feel like no matter who I pick I'm going to make the wrong decision lol.

[TwistedLogic]

I'm going Teo.

Yeah im not fully convinced Springer should even be playing today at all. Hope he doesn’t make things worse

Good call

Slightly worried Springer gets pulled early

[TwistedLogic]

Incoming three bomb game from Springer.

That was my first thought, but Kirk was catching today so it was either DH Jansen or Springer, so Springer makes sense. It feels awfully good to have Jansen to pinch hit for Tapia late in the game.
