Red Sox (Early) vs Braves (Strider): 5/15/26, 7:15pm

[illinoisredsox]

Here’s my lineup tomorrow:

1B Slaten

2B Weissert

SS Kelly

3B Watson

LF Samaniego

CF Rafaela

RF Abreu

C  Gasper

P Tolle

No DH.

This lineup can’t do much worse than the regulars have been doing offensively.

Abreu, Rafaela and Gasper play because they at least hit the ball most of the time.

You didn’t like my lineup with 6 pitchers in it?

Like I said, could a lineup with 6 pitchers in it do much worse than one with the current regulars?  
 

At the very least, it would increase interest due to an increased possibility of a no-hitter.
