"With Roman Antony gone and Jarren Duran's contributions from the leadoff spot dipping to questionable at best, Masataka Yoshida will play his first MLB game as a leadoff hitter tonight. After last night's whatever you want to call it, I'm not against shaking things up! This lineup distracts me from the fear I feel during every Lucas Giolito start, as I fear it'll be the one where everything finally falls apart."
"BUT, I don't want to be a negative Nancy on a beautiful college football and baseball-filled Saturday, so here's to Masa showing off his immaculate running form at the top of the lineup. And thank goodness we don't have to watch this Arizona offense against another lefty."
Roman Antony is no longer in the lineup, and Jarren Duran's leadoff production has declined to questionable levels. Masataka Yoshida will make his first MLB start as the team's leadoff hitter tonight. The lineup change aims to shake things up after a poor previous performance. The new order distracts from anxiety surrounding Lucas Giolito starts, with concern that one outing could trigger a collapse. Optimism accompanies a college football and baseball-filled Saturday and anticipation for Yoshida's running form atop the lineup. The matchup avoids facing another left-handed Arizona starter.
