GT 4/17 Rubber game vs. the Cheats / Brash on the rubber

Happy Easter everyone!!

You too. Hopefully this offense can also be resurrected from the dead.

HA! Hopefully it doesn't take 3 days.

If Mitch is out the minimum 5 days for COVID protocols...that gets him back either the last game with Texas or the KC series.
Hope he cures his batting average too.

I could see us getting shut out again with USquidy on the mound. They needed to start Odorizzi all three games to give our weak ass hitters a chance.

Remember when we faced Urquidy almost one year ago and this epic game thread...

Haniger leading off and Lewis, White and Trammell in the middle of the batting lineup.

It will be the 1st game without Haniger. I wonder how long he will be out with the Covid.

I just did the math and it will be the second game without Haniger.

I’m speechless quote of the week

Mitch has Covid and our bats are on a ventilator. Our prospects who were the top 5 in all of baseball can't even hit as well as the average NL pitcher. Not feeling good about this team right now.

Last season Winker had 57 x base hits in just 110 games. More than one every other game. This season he has ZERO in 9 games.

Suarez batting cleanup and both Torrens and Toro in the lineup? Gonna be a beatdown.

Need Kelenic and Rodriguez to show up tonight. Both are starting cold out of the gate. I might have expected this from one of them, but not both, and especially not at the same time. What's this say about how good is Kyle Lewis when healthy?

Nice little piece on Bryce Miller from Baseball America.

And another on just how awesome Seiya Suzuki has been.

And frankly I'm surprised that we neither recalled Steven Souza or Billy Hamilton in Haniger's absence. But I do believe that Souza would make a cool $1M if he were promoted. But Hamilton could've been used in multiple ways and for a lot cheaper.
