I don’t like the matchup today. Futrell is a really tough LHP, the kind we struggle with. And we’re down our best right handed bat. We’ll need to run up his pitch count and try to get into their pen. If it becomes a bullpen battle, I like our odds. That also means Beam will have to bounce back and give us a solid performance.
Hopefully Kendro is ready to give us some production. Expect Merritt to start in RF vs. the lefty instead of Scott.
If we’re going to win today, we’ll have to grind it out. It won’t be like yesterday.
