Matchups like these are what give Rob Manfred the itchies when putting together the MLB schedule and send him scurrying off to tinker with the minors to shave even more time off the game (finally saw the Low-A pickoff move limit in action in Modesto’s game the other day and it is just as stupid as I thought it’d be).
Trammell and White remain with the big club, although dropped all the way down to the eighth and ninth places in the batting order, which means we get J.P. Crawford hitting fifth. Sure, whatever.
