Not sure what to expect in tonight's series opener against the Padres in San Diego. First games against an NL club in their home park... who sits out as the Ms lose a DH for the night? Pads are throwing a lefty, my guess is Vogie won't start. Will taking a DH out of this line-up and replacing him with a pitcher slow down the offense?
Swanson makes his second start. Will there be a let down? Hard to imagine he can do much better than the 6 innings, one earned run, three hits of his major league first start last week. Can he hit? This is an interesting question, because prior to this season he's spent five years in the minors, appearing in 93 games, 60 starts. He has the exact same batting stats that I do. Zero plate appearances. When he steps in against San Diego leftie, Nick Margevicius, he will be facing a professional pitcher for the first time in his life.
Final question: is Felix really back? He's shown some promise in his first four starts. Will that continue?
