Yeah that’s what Rafaela needs to do. Give them a free strike with a bunt attempt

Should be first and third two outs instead inning over cmon the bats are not good enough to support being caught stealing so much

What will Cora have to say about this post game? Team is sloppy and undisciplined.

Anyone have Wong 1b - Valdez 2b - Hamilton SS - Rafaela 3b on their bingo cards?
That infield alignment in a one-run game is a cry for help.

We can still savage the night by acquiring Garrett Cooper, Craig. I know you can hear me.

Moto of the season. Beat up horrible teams, lose to good teams

Love the fight in this team, but it is genuinely shocking that in the 8th inning of a one-run game — following an off-day, no less — we've got Cam Booser backed by an infield of Wong/Valdez/Hamilton/out-of-position-Rafaela.

Dalbec is an 0-3 away from batting below his jersey number.

Intentionally walking the catcher might be overthinking l/r matchups a bit

Just move on from Dalbec. Play Rob at 1st and hope Devers regains form once he comes back. And please stop hitting Rafaela lead off, I don’t need him getting the most ABs in any lineup. I can’t take this hodgepodge lineup anymore.

I guess if there's a part of this lineup I'd want up in the 9th this is it

Any chance Valdez doesn’t get sent down when Grissom is back? He and Hamilton are not big league ready with the bat

Tomorrow will be the Cooper Criswell-bullpen game & Carlos Carrasco rematch we’ve all been waiting for

So far this team is sort of what we expected. Just ok. They’ll beat the bad teams and lose to the good ones. Thank goodness the rotation is the best in baseball.

I think the rotation being the best in baseball and the team being over .500 despite missing half the lineup isn't even in the "sort of what we expected" category

1) This Cleveland team has some of that same Tampa fairy dust. They massively overachieve and everything just goes wrong when we play them, physically and mentally.
2) Masa PHing there and looking completely fine at the plate says to me that he either has some sort of lower body injury and they're trying to limit how much he runs, or Alex Cora is a moron. It so happens that I already know that Alex Cora is a moron, which points to the latter, but the former could also be true.
3) Dalbec cannot stay on this roster much longer. I don't care if you claim Cooper or call up Kavadas or hold open tryouts.
4) Rafaela cannot lead off. He should hit 8th or 9th pretty much exclusively, with a slight preference for 9th because he has good speed.
5) If guys are injured, IL them. We cannot afford to have a short bench for several days just to get Devers back a couple games early, especially since I'd rather him actually get right. If we're straight up out of healthy guys on the 40, 60-day Mata.
