First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m Arizona time
This should be interesting
Yes. More referring to line-ups, bullpen etcEven if they has made no trades I suspect the Dodgers would have kicked their butts all over Chavez Ravine.
Varsho will end up playing most every day
The sooner Varsho starts (assuming that Lovullo will not bench him after every appearance --For better or for worse. I still don't think he's ready.
The sooner Varsho starts (assuming that Lovullo will not bench him after every appearance --
a regular platoon vs. RHP is acceptable), the sooner Varsho can acclimate. And it might
justify dumping Starling in less than a season, although it still doesn't make them look good.
Varsho will never be ready if he is not given the chance. If he is truly not ready to take the
next step, he should not have been brought up. But if Lovullo drums into his head that he
wants him to hit every ball into the air, he'll never be ready and another career will have
been ruined. As he is ruining Escobar's. And Ketel's RBI capability.
I don't know where DBack Jon got the info that Varsho will be playing most every day, but
I hope that it comes from Torey. And that he sticks to it, for a change.
The worst thing that can happen is that he puts Lamb at 3B, sending Escobar to 2B, sending
Marte to CF, benching Varsho. Not only would it disrupt four players, but Lamb and Varsho
both hit lefty, so there'd be no sense in it. Time will tell if someone got through to Torey to
recognize that there are nine starters and the rest are subs. They are not all starters. Jon
Jay or any of them.

A fine example of a last place team beating itself - 7 walks issued so far, several defensive lapses.
How in the world does Torey Lovullo deserve to survive this season?
