Lets see...the team has been in an offensive funk with RISP but yet Cargo is still hitting 5th? Right now he looks awful as nobody is throwing him strikes since he flails at everything way outside. He picked an awful time to look so bad being his contract year. I would hit him 7th as Black can't worry about hurting his feelings until either he hits better or someone else can step in to produce.

What more can be said about Lyles that hasn't already been mentioned....I just wonder why Black has used him in the situations he has in his last 2 appearances. If it is not mop-up duty, that name should never be summoned.

The Amarista pinch hit was a tough call as its easy to second guess...Chatwood was only at 79 pitches and could have gone one or two more innings the way he was going...Knowing Cole would be gone the next inning plus the way Chatwood handles the bat probably would have leaned me to keeping him pitch but its a gut decision that didn't work out well.
