I will fall on the sword for this pitching matchup: Cole (R) 2-0, 2.67 vs Velasquez (R) 2-2, 3.97

Time to stop fucking around and end this losing streak. Here’s how I approach to today’s game if I’m Tony. First, you must acknowledge that Bundy is both tough & RHP. As such, I’m stacking the lineup with all my left-handed bats. That means Legend, Sheets, Haseley, Grandal, & McGuire all must play. Jose & Tim are vets so they get starts. Eloy had that big hit in the 9th so he gets a start. And hopefully Harrison is ready to go, because I need that Big Energy at the bottom of the lineup. Now setting the lineup gets a bit tricky with so many studs, but you got break up all those righties. Anderson, SS Legend, 3B# Abreu, 1B Grandal, DH# Jimenez, LF Sheets, RF* McGuire, C* Harrison, 2B Haseley, CF* Damn that lineup looks as sweet as a fresh bottle of Goose. Table setters at the top and bottom and plenty of boppers in those #3 to #6 spots. It’s well balanced too with just the right mix of vets & youth. Definitely don’t want them young’uns to have to carry the load against a tough veteran pitcher. Defense in the OF corners might be a little below average, but with Squeze on the mound today I’m not too concerned. He’s been working hard with Katzy and I think he’s ready to pop. I fully expect six from him today, but Severino should be ready to give two or three innings as well if need be. I like that kid’s arm and he just needs the innings to breakout. Overall I feel real good about what the arms are going to give us today. We’re lucky that Hahn prioritized pitching coming out the lockout and got us an extra fire baller in Squeze. He’s exactly the type of veteran pitcher we need to bust the slump we’re in in. Let’s fucking go!
