@Astrojo could you ask Dusty to get Mancini in there tomorrow?

I will try tweeting him.

He might have brain fog from long Covid, how can we tell?

I wish Click had a Twitter account. I would give him some free advice.

Nice to see signs of life from Peña.

I thought you already pronounced him dead?

Dubon delivered, but there is no logical reason for not pinch-hitting Mancini there. Meyers could have taken over CF.

Or an even crazier idea…move McCormick to CF and put Mancini in LF.

Wut?

Best defense for the 9th is Chas and Jake, and I am happy Dubon contributed, but not using Mancini to hit there is one more insult.

I’ve done that on the field before. Not a good feeling

But dude did that in the bottom of the 7th and didn’t report it to the umps until after the game. Dubon could have slipped in that, gross.

Mancini, McCormick, and Tucker left to right. Diaz, Dubon, and Meyers are each compromised in their own way. Get our best players on the field. They’re young and I assume don’t tire easily, although their stamina seems to call for Nugenix or equivalent.

He’ll be a solid major league player. Big question is will he be the star he looked like at the start of the season.
