Need this one to take 2 out of 3. Need Lyles to be on today and the lineup to bring the bats.

No Mountcastle?
I wonder if he's dinged up from the HBP in last AB yesterday, or he has poor numbers vs. Rasmussen?

His hand is sore.

Nevin and Phillips.....yet we have Stowers and Westburg .....sheesh.....
At least we have a much better OF defense today.

Is it true that if they win today they hold a tiebreaker over TB for playoff seeding? And that’s the lineup? Yikes.

Phillips playing this much is a really difficult decision to understand with as good as Stowers has been.

And it's not just seeding. There's no more game 163, so the tiebreaker could determine who makes the playoffs and who doesn't. Pretty important game today.

The super cynical side of me wonders if Elias doesn’t want to make the playoffs this year because of what it would do to the expectations arc. But there’s no way that’s a thing, no way a professional at that level could actually think like that, right?

Yup and that's the no. 1 tiebreaker. Season series is tied at 9.

I really think this year's success interfered with his plans and disrupted his narrative. He's been in damage control mode a lot lately

Mountcastle is hurting so thats why Nevin is in. Phillips over Vavra for defense and just to give Vavra a day off. Literally 1 move that is arguably a B team move.

And Elias doesnt make the damn lineup anyway. Hyde could have played Vavra and Mountcastle for that matter. Ryan pronably didnt ask out

Phillips over Vavra for outfield defense for Lyles I guess?

Strong inning. Two Ks and a very shallow flyball.
