you aren't serious with that lineup, are you?

[kcmets]

It's what the team has posted thus far.

But he's getting on base 41% of the time this season.

[Chad ochoseis]

wow...I realize people love Luis G, but he has no business batting leadoff...He's scored less than 26% of the time that he's gotten to first base on his career...

That's because he usually bats 7th or 8th. Leadoff batters maybe have a little bit more baserunning skill than most, but mostly they're helped by having good hitters behind them. Guillorme isn't fast, but he's smart. It's not an awful choice.



That being said, I would have put McNeil in that spot.



Bracing myself for hearing "Guillermo" all night from the jamokes in the booth. It's already started.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

RBI for Dom!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That's the muscle I want behind Big Meat

McNeil Rainbomb!!

[Frayed Knot]

Wow!, McSquirrel was quick inside on that pitch.

I might be overstating this but in previous years when Jeff took two pitches that he thought were outside of the strike zone but called a strike, he would have mentally checked out of the AB. Not so, this year.

[Chad ochoseis]

Alonso, setting the table for McNeil.

Good point, Chad!

[TransMonk]

It's amazing how much more I enjoy 2022 McNeil vs. 2021 McNeil.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Great too that they did all that immediately following a crap inning.-- and while the Phil's had to stand in a heavy rain. It's already stopped raining here

[Frayed Knot]

Minor point, but they got those key hits & walks despite Eflin seemingly getting the call on every borderline pitch that inning.

[kcmets]

Guillorme 3-3

[Frayed Knot]

Tough to complain when your leadoff hitter du jour is 3/3 in getting on base by the 5th inning.

PhiLOLies

[Methead]

This team is so fun to watch



Talking about the Phillies of course

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Baseball like it oughta be

[roger_that]

Did they explain where's Nimmo? I got here late.

[Frayed Knot]

What was better, Schwarber missing the fly ball or smacking his CF in the face with his glove in the process?

[Frayed Knot]

An RBI 1B by Lindor after fighting back from 0-2
