why Saggese vs a rhp instead of Gorman??

Reverse splits for Cease.
RH's are better against him this year.
Samr reason Walker replaced Mootbaar.

why Saggese vs a rhp instead of Gorman??

I would think the fact that he is a defensive disaster is part of it.

and he's gonna get better with inconsistent playing time? what happened to the runway?

edit: unless they dont wanna do a day game after a night game due to his back.. maybe

I'd say Saggese is on that runway also

He deserves an equal opportunity to fail

[Mort Gage]

Thanks, craviduce. Pallante is either razor sharp or terrible without much in between. I no longer try to predict what he will do.

Consistency hasn’t been his strength. Maybe he starts consistency today.

Overall he averages out to a solid back of rotation guy. I'll go on a limb and say Good Pallante shows for a 6/2 outing.

Fair. The splits are small.
Now explain the outfield. VS isn't superman.
Pallante can't miss the bats well enough, SD makes
league leading contact. AP must be thrilled.

SD is arm wrestling a weak old man here and
can only be embarrassed with a loss.

Not much to explain.
STL outfield is awful - regardless of who The Marmot sticks out there.

sss, for sure, but I haven't seen anything from him except utility player

hopefully he has a big game today

I agree, he is a utility player.

Yes, thank you, Mort and Crav.
Y’all are top-drawer.

Hahahaha. That's harsh. But funny.

More stupid Oli lineups.

Unless Norman's back is acting up he needs to be at 3rd base every game and not Saggesse (.237 .279 .340 .619) who's JAG.

Because Oli's an idiot who has no clue what he's doing. Unless, of course, as said, Gorman's back is acting up in which case DH or bench bat is likely the only chance he has to be an MLB regular.

Donovan is hitting like .220 since May 31st and we aren’t going to bench him ever?

Bench the Golden Boy Donnie? You cray-cray? Donny's a gamer. He plays through it until he comes out of it or hits the IL.

Benches are for guys who need playing time. The Oli Way.
