Benson's HR last night probably earned him a start. If it's the start of a hot streak, he may play for a while. I'm not a Benson fan, but he does have an occasional hot streak. May as well ride it. If it goes as I suspect, he'll be out of the line-up Friday.Quote:

My guess is they will short side platoon Noelvi with Benson again and wonder why it doesn’t work. The definition on insanity…

Paddock should be starting. Use Burns tomorrow. Abbott on 4 days rest. Just stupid you can’t take advantage of what is a more important series with a day off.
I don't get Tito's love for Blake Dunn. Keep in mind Blake Dunn made the Opening Day roster in 2025. Was demoted to Louisville after about 3 weeks ... and then proceeded to completely suck there.
And now he's playing everyday, batting leadoff everyday? Very disappointing. He's not even a good AAA player. And Tito is treating him like he's a valuable piece. I know options are very limited, but damn.
He did have a 400 OBP in AAA last year, (and a 400 slg) so I wouldn’t say he sucked in 2025 in AAA (2024 yes, but not 2025)Quote:
