Hoping to get to a couple games of this huge ass home stand. Hoping last game woke some of these bats up.
 
Not trying to be funny. Is that Luplow in the picture or someone else?
 
Plutko starting Saturday
Bieber starting Sunday
Carrasco starting Monday
 
Mercado sitting of course. This is probably why a lot of hitters can’t develop here. Kipnis hitting second is a fucking joke. Cargo done, but still batting 4th. Woof.
 
CarGo over Mercado is just comical.

Not really. Straily throws right handed. Cargo bats left handed. Mercado bats right handed. Also a big reason why Cargo is batting 4th and Luplow is 7th today.

CarGo hasn’t exactly shown anything against either hand.

Whereas Mercado needs to play.

CarGo isn't hitting any pitching right now. The splits are mostly irrelevant in this case because of how putrid CarGo's been against everyone.

If they brought Mercado up to only play against LHP, then they shouldn't have brought him up at all. He needs to be playing every day either in Columbus or Cleveland.

I definitely agree he needs to play. I probably would have swapped him with Leonys today, but I can understand Tito's call as I think he feels more comfortable with vet out there. He definitely wants to win tonight with Bauer on the mound.
 
It doesn’t help Mercado that Luplow has been hitting better than just about anyone else on the roster in the last week

In his last 20 plate appearances: .350, 4 HR, 45% K rate. Quite the statline

I would imagine we see Mercado starting tomorrow night, and again on Saturday vs their lefty Means

Pretty sure he has an OPS over 800 against righties in the minors.
 
5 to fucking 1 Bauer can go fuck himself. This team is all sorts of pathetic. The Orioles are atrocious.
 
Better be a day we win 9-8 or something. Can't lose to the 14-28 Orioles. Need these easy wins.

Lmao. This is garbage baseball at its finest hour. Bauers looks at a meatball strike 3 and Cargo attempts to steal home. Strike em out throw em out double play. Even a horrible team can do the little things.
