I was gonna post the lineup in the game day thread, what the hell is that lazy ass bot doing?

Today is the first time we face a lefty. I was hoping for all 9 righty hitters haha, but that would require Jeffers or Vazquez at DH. We got 8/9 righties, Larnach is the only lefty. I’m ok with this.
Win Twins!!
Wow, 8 righties? Last year’s team could never
We won’t be able to put up 9 right handed batters until Buxton can play in the OF. Then Jeffers could dh.
Not sure I would sit Gallo unless it was just a scheduled rest day anyway, he hasn’t traditionally had big platoon splits.
I really like the potential of this lineup against a LHP. And it gives Rocco some good options off the bench with Gordon and Gallo when Miami brings their righties in from the bullpen. Great job by the front office in the off-season to stock pile some quality depth and depth that can be used in advantageous ways.
At least that’s how it looks on paper, gotta see it play out now
Luzardo vs LHB: 3.86 ERA, 3.05 FIP, 10.24 K/9
Luzardo vs RHB: 4.68 ERA, 4.49 FIP, 9.74 K/9
Seems like a pretty solid approach
Oh this sparks joy
