Doubtful. More likely wanting to make sure he stays healthy.

Man. All you need is to insert Knizner and they should offer fans discounted tickets for today.

Doesn't matter what your lineup is when you have your Cy Young candidate on the mound.

I am not a super human freak athlete like Corey Seager, but I am a fit guy and a decent golfer and had his same surgery in late December (about a month before him). Started back to playing golf at about 6 weeks, but it was probably close to 14 weeks before I really felt right in cutting loose again. Really just in the last couple of weeks have I felt like my old self, and even then it comes with some pain. So beyond shaking off rust of no spring training, I imagine he is still battling the pain and twinges that come with recovery. It's a core issue and swinging really stresses it.

Assuming that he's already 100% healthy at the present. Not too far fetched that he may still be a little tight from surgery or otherwise not fully recovered. You can be functional at 90% and go through the motions without concern, but it's that last 10% that makes you the MVP

This is our give away a win lineup.

We saw these last year after we were up 2-0 in a series and almost always lost that third game. Sometimes the resulting funk carried over a few days. But, in Bochy I trust. I learned my lesson last season.

And those were day games (Sunday) after night games on Saturday. Today is a day game, so I can see the rested players.

Having said that... some is about matchups.

Greene (R-24): 4.55 ERA throws a 98 FourSeam and 87 Slidder
Abbotto (L-24): 2.60 ERA tomorrow

Semien: R
Jank: L
Carter: L
Smith: L
Langford: R
Heim: S
Duran: R
Taveras: S

Bench:
Adolis: R
Seager: L


Greene looks like a guy that can be hit and we're heavy Lefty against him. His splits are interesing:
vRHB: .260 BA, .304 OBP, .664 OPS, 91 OPS+
vLHB: .240 BA, .369 OBP, .769 OPS, 121 OPS+
I don't know OPS+ but included for all the advocates.

Sounds like Bochy filled out the lineup without having spoken to a certain player.

Since he is a Lefty... he'll probably get rested tomorrow. Makes more sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bochy and Seager have plans to rest Seager on day games after night games to keep him healing, but Seager wants to play against the Righty.

Fox game, today.

I'm a big Lorenzen fan.

7.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 SO.

Calling it before first pitch. Think Seager has a good game. Has a double and a HR

That would be something considering he isn't in the lineup.

Edit: nevermind, I see that he actually is going to be in. My bad.

Four straight batters reach?
Back to back hits?
A productive out?

What is this sorcery the Reds have on offense?

I was going to say I'm surprised it wasn't the Rangers with the bad base running, but then I remembered that you have to get on base first

Incredible we are at 500. If you had told me prior to the season we would have no offense combined with the pitching injuries I would have predicted a similar record as the Astros at this point.

Three hits for that bum India including a homer while we have a total of one hit against a guy with a 4.50 era. I hate this game sometimes,

Amazing how much Jung being out has affected the offense

I was a little surprised Lorenzen went back out for the 7th, after the PC he had.

Other than the HR, all the hits were singles.

Semien missed a liner off his glove and the missed double-play opportunity were the big plays. Two hit batters up-and-in.

Unfortunate, but still a good outing, overal for Lorenzen, IMO.

If this keeps up, at some point opposing pitchers will become annoyed they aren't closing out the no hitter.
