PLAY BALL!

Jazz probably going about it the wrong way, BUT, he's absolutely right.

The only person who didn't play among position players yesterday was DLC. Why isn't he in the lineup today then if the goal is to get everyone to play? Berti got to pinch run, right before Jazz homered. Henry got to catch. BA and Wendle both got in the game yesterday.

The motive is absolutely not to "get everyone to play," it's simply Don using dinosaur analysis and thinking "right handed batter is better against left handed pitcher" when both Berti and Anderson have shown they're both reverse splits guys.

Jazz should lead-off and play 162 games. Insanity 

New day, same result for Soler there

I agree on playing 162.

Gotta show me a little more before hitting near the top.

Soler leading off is so absolutely ridiculous 

Cool, cool.

The problem is we really don't have a good option to lead off on this team. The highest OBP on the remaining team last year is Cooper and everyone else was .335 and lower last year. Just terrible.

Rodon looking nasty.

Soler looks utterly lost at the plate - and again, has NO business hitting leadoff. So instead of swapping Soler out with someone else to "get everyone in" we lose Jazz who had a go-ahead clutch homer yesterday and keep the guy who was awful in the leadoff spot.   Great fucking managing Don.

I miss having Pierre and Castillo in the line-up

almost like they should have made acquiring some high OBP% guys their priority this offseason to better balance the lineup instead of Soler and Garcia.

Fuck it.  #FireDon

9th yesterday. Not playing today. 
 

it’s day 2, but it’s also ridiculous. Jazz has a reason to be pissed.

I agree with you on that.

LOL HES BENCHING JAZZ FOR BERTI GTFO DON

Berti was thinking of this post when he made that play.

That was a nice play by Berti, can't take that from him.

Good inning from Pablo minus the single.

Rodon looks unhittable

Everyone plays?  What is this, fucking Little League, Don?

 

Also not liking Rojas and Anderson 5th and 6th.... Hope they prove me wrong

Anderson sucks vs lefties, but Rojas has pretty good numbers. Fine with moving Miggy up a bit.

good job finding that insert card!

BA is definitely striking out after Miggy lines out.

I just logged in and turned the game on looking forward to today's game just to find out about Jazz sitting and the whole ordeal.  What a buzz kill.  I've never liked Don's in game management but I was ok with him because the players liked him.  I'm done now.  He's garbage and needs to go NOW!  How is this guy so stupid?  And he's supposed to be old school too.  He disgusts me now!!!  #FuckDon
