There's nothing else left to do other than, I don't know, make an example out of somebody.

I kind of feel like they try to do that or Francisco Alvarez, but that was really just a defensive

regression.

They couldn't keep him out on the field.

So, like, what's next if this doesn't work?

Lineup changes.

And what specifically?

I've got a few.

Of course you do.

I gave one to Carlos Mendoza during our special Rico.

I told him I'd lead off Juan Soto.

I'd go Soto 1, Alonzo, 2, Lindor 3.

And that goes to the idea that plopped into my head.

What did our first caller say about Peter Alonzo?

He's flying out the slaughter low and away.

There is no reason to face Pete Alonzo, he's flying out the slider low and away. There is no reason to face Pete Alonzo right

now, zero. And I was actually saying this

a lot early in the season when Pete was off to the great

start, I'd openly criticize the

opposing manager saying, what are they doing?

Why would you face Pete right now

with Jeff McNeil on deck?
