Lovelady inching his way down in the lineup. I like that bc it means guys are starting to hit

As much as possible but everyone but Gordon should be ready. Can extend self and Price today.

Should be out the first sign of trouble. We have fully rested Self and Price....if Gary or Andy allows us to dig a big hole before seeing them, we should all be pissed

Hope we score a couple of runs. One time thru lineup should be minimum but if he can get thru twice that's optimal.

Six consecutive balls and he should go, if he last six pitches, I'm good with that

Oh man please don't start the game with 6 straight balls

Uh oh, on pregame Gary just said "we hope to get 4-5 out of JB, then we have Tristan, and could get more out of Plumlee or Barton, and hopefully they can get us to the 7th or 8th where we can get to Self and Price."

He had zero sign of Self coming in before usual

I'm not 100% sure Hendu and Canny want to win a lot of these games. The more they run Barton and Plumlee out of the pen, the more I think these coaches want to lose.

Coach GH said, 'we hope....' he did not inscribe it in stone that Self would not/could not come in before the usual cast of characters.....Give the coaches a little credit for having a little grasp of the significance of this game......

Did I say he inscribed it? And it would be easier to give them that credit had they not let us get beat with Self and Price on the bench last weekend. Not saying they won't learn from it, but all we have is previous results to base it on right now. I hope to see Self by 5th inning unless JB is having the game of his life

Why is Bragg not in the line up?

You really don't think they want to win these games? That's crazy.

I think they want to make sure that we have a Self and Price ready for the postseason.

Mangum should be lighting it up ahead of Rooker, but due to his piss poor plate discipline he still gets nothing but breaking balls. With any discipline he would get tons of fastballs to crush. He's been disappointing this year to me...for his lack of adjusting.

Great inning, K's our best 3 hitters. Not a good sign

Nasty. That slider is filthy.

Slider is unhittable but it is a ball every time if we can just keep from swinging at it

We're going to get smoked today. At least we got 1 though
