It’s not too bad besides Grandpa leading off.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I’d also rather see Burriss than Velez. But I’m knitting picks.

That's what I mean

it’s like 7/8ths what we want, but Bochey just never does the right thing. EVER. He plays the kids everywhere else, then puts dave fucking roberts in LF. How does that make sense?

Why not have Roberts lead off with Winn 2nd and bump everyone up and put Velez before Rohlinger….That’s what I would’ve preferred

Roberts
Winn
Rowand
Pablo
TI
Velez
Rohlinger
Ochoa
