Remember when Russell was a good hitter? Been a while.

Suter is a lefty. Schwarber is hitting .071/.235/.143 vs LHP this year and .151/.267/.296 on his career.

Yeah, my mistake on that. I really thought Suter was a righty. But I still don’t understand Bote getting any starts on his week stretch with the big league team.

Why not? Bote might need to help again this year, not a lot of guys tearing up AAA. He's up, get him some PAs.

Darvish is throwing a lot of cutters for strikes today. Not a pitch I normally like to see him throw but if it works why not?

Pretty damn hard to know if a kid can play at this level unless they do something really novel.....actually have him play in MLB games. With their zero risk policy on Bryant, which I agree with BTW, it's as good a time as any to get Bote some AB's.

What a terrible lineup for today. Maybe Epstein should have just gone a man short on the roster so Maddon wouldn’t be tempted to run Bote out there. There’s no reason to start him. Schwarber being on the bench while he’s in the middle of a hot streak is ridiculous too.

Over the course of a season, the difference between an un-optimized lineup and an optimized one is about 10 runs (or .06 runs per game), so bitching about individual lineups is pretty silly.

Fuck yes. Great job by Yu. Lucky single from the pitcher, got fucked by the ump and got out of trouble. That's what you want.

Get a good start from the starter, he leaves with a 2-1 lead and then they lose the lead..

Sucks Darvish not gonna get a win

Bats need to win this one

That run was entirely on the ump. I would have liked to see Madden out of the dugout after the lead off 3 strike 1 ball walk.
