00:00Rafi Devers in the lineup over the weekend 0 for 3 with a strikeout. That's all right. Whatever. He's in there

00:04I agree taking hacks. He was at DH. He is again at DH today

00:11Thank You Evan, I it's almost literally how I threw to break I I was mortified the second I said it lot of his own

00:17Duran is leading off in left field Devers DH batting second Bregman's at third batting third

00:22Then you have cases at first cleanup story the shortstop batting fifth a bray you and right your sixth hitter

00:28Batting seventh Connor Wong your catcher. The only weird one is or is it weird?

00:32Mmm, you have Christian Campbell at second base. You have David Hamilton. It's a split squad today. Yeah going with mostly backups and prospects

00:40Leading off and playing second base elsewhere. And then you have Sedan Raffaella in centerfield batting ninth

00:45That feels like I'd say outside of second base, but I'd have no problem if they break camp with Christian Campbell

00:52That feels like you're opening day lineup. Doesn't it Devers to at DH Bregman third at third?

00:56I think that's the lineup that I want until like Roman Anthony is in there

01:01I whenever that might be I'd flip Bregman endeavors, but that's a nitpick. I mostly feel like this is a pretty strong

01:06Yeah, like the order the people that are in it. I think that's it

01:10Yeah, it is funny. So the split squad game that you mentioned David Hamilton's playing short Vaughn Grissom's playing second

01:15Oh Hamilton's that short? I miss that short. So Vaughn Grissom's playing second Marcel Mayer's at third in that game and

01:23Roman Anthony is in center

01:26Campbell's not playing in the prospect game. That's interesting. It is nothing else

01:29It is so it's like something to keep an eye on and it doesn't sound like any of the three guys are gonna break camp

01:34Because they're the hope well

01:36I shouldn't say the hope the the the path for Roman Anthony to break camp was if will you're a brave remained out of the

01:42Lineup and so with him back back. Yeah, I think that's out and they have a couple of options

01:45They can throw at second base

01:46So they don't need to rush Campbell up there

01:48but Cora was pretty complimentary of an at-bat that Roman Anthony had over the weekend because he's like

01:52These guys like, you know, they don't need to be break camp

01:54However, they're Roman Anthony had like a big boy at bat, you know against the lefty and all this other stuff

01:59But no their lineup is good. I mean, they have a few guys that are pretty fragile

02:04Unfortunately in story and Cassis but opening day on paper lineup. It's as good as it's been in a while

02:10I feel pretty good about that so you can jump in on it

02:12We know it's gonna be Garrett crochet on opening day Cora announced that over the weekend
