It's a pretty favorable pocket of the line-up. He won't see Acuna again.
And I guess I just don't expect our RHBs to do anything against Strider so I can't be frustrated when they don't. Turner should give Bohm some pointers!

Nick does it again!
Right in the middle of Francouer saying Strider needed a shut down inning. Fantastic timing.

Brandon Marsh flies out to left fielder Kevin Pillar.
So maybe Nick and Bohm should have been swapped in this game but who cares now.
My highs are higher than everyone else's too!

Strider still hitting 100 MPH
Casty is a different hitter this post season - love it! He has also made sure Rojas hasn’t lead off an inning in both at bats
Strider with a pretty good inning except for the first pitch home run. Probably his best inning so far. He is at 68 pitches over the four innings.
Rojas is just lost at this point. He is obviously valuable on defense, but you have to wonder if he wouldn’t be better as a pinch runner.

Kevin Pillar strikes out on a foul tip.
I still don't think there is any question about his value. He saves more runs than he fails to help produce (even if you don't believe his small sample DRS).
Unless you want to give Pache a shot there but he can't really hit RHP either. Jake Cave isn't it. And Weston Wilson isn't even really an OF (and you'd have to get him back on the roster first too).
