Love it. They’re gonna have Castellanos DH and Schwarber goes into left field to start. Matt Vierling in center with Mickey Moniak suffering the fractured hand and Odubel Herrera dealing with an injury. Bryson Stott begins at 3rd with Didi Gregorius playing short stop. Outside of Stott beginning the season at third over Alec Bohm, doesn’t seem like there’s anything surprising in this lineup, based on how Spring Training wrapped up earlier this week. Realmuto in the two hole is interesting and something to keep an eye on.
Whatever, just happy meaningful baseball is here.
