re: Baseball Linep White DH Morgan LF

I get what you're saying, but no one really knows just how big of a "sacrifice" it is because we've never seen Jones play first. Or Morgan play OF for that matter.

Not to mention, defense isn't that important when Skenes is striking out the side! (this is sarcasm, sort of).

All the players are listed at the bottom and he just scratches out the starters and anyone else considered unavailable for that game. Makes it easier to quickly look to see available players to use if needed depending on situations

It’s was ways going to be this way. Boot up.

Man, get every bat you can in there. Put Jobert in LF and move Morgan to RF.

Getting Jobert out against a lefty pitcher today, Kling a RH hitter

10 HRs…calling it now

The position guys scratched out are just the starters, I think.

Yeah there are 11 scratches, 9 starters, 10 would be Skenes if you assume he’s listed in both places, Ruddell would be 11 so perhaps an injury or redshirt, or otherwise not on the trip.

ETA: Based on the numbers Skenes is definitely one of the scratches between Milazzo and Travinski.

Besides the rant going crazy, what happens the first time Morgan or Jones misplay a ball…

Jones will go back to DH once Tommy can play in the field again. It's also a test to see how this defense works but most likely Tre staying at 1st anyway when Tommy is healthy.

Here's who is scratched out (besides starting players):
Ruddell
Cooper (presumed to be starting tomorrow)
Hurd (presumed to be starting Tuesday)
Noot
Moffett
Shores (presumed to be starting Sunday)
Taylor (injury - out for season)
Little


Bollman and Paul are not listed on this lineup card at all. No surprise from Bollman, but a little surprised for Paul.

I am a little concerned to see Little as unavailable, but hopeful that means we just want to give him extra rest for later in the weekend or at UT. I'll let Project glean whatever else he can. My own quick 2 cents are that we never see Noot pitch for us, sadly.
