YOUR Miami Marlins play another baseball game in Chicago tonight. The Cubs were busy with the Giants, so the White Sox were nice enough to show up.

 

Staff ace (only because True Ace Jose Urena is on the injured list) Caleb Smith takes the mound but won't need to bat since the Marlins and White Sox will be playing under "half a baseball player is okay" rules.

 

Here's the starting lineup:

 

Batting first and playing right field, Harold Ramirez.

 

Batting second and playing as the designated hitter, Brian Anderson.

 

Batting third and playing first base, Garrett Cooper.

 

Batting fourth and playing third base, Neil Walker.

 

Batting fifth and playing second base, Starlin Castro.

 

Batting sixth and catching, Jorge Alfaro.

 

Batting seventh and playing left field, a shell of Curtis Granderson.

 

Batting eighth and playing center field, Cesar Puello.

 

Batting ninth and playing shortstop, basically a pitcher despite the DH, Yadiel Rivera.

 

 

The weird thing about Cesar Puello is that for as good as he was for the Angels, that's how bad he's been for the Marlins.

 

The weird thing about Yadiel Rivera is that as bad as his offense has been, his defense has been just as bad. He has the potential to legitimately be the worst player in baseball if given enough at bats. (Good news! With Miguel Rojas a possible trade candidate, Rivera might just finish the season as the starting shortstop! We can go back to the tradition of the Miami Marlins having the worst player in baseball play shortstop, just like in 2013!)

Until robot umps become a thing, should he not be more concerned about the home plate umpire's strike zone?
