The lineup today — Segura and Hoskins at the top — will be the lineup against both lefties and righties moving forward, Joe Girardi said. “We’re going to leave the lineup the same for a little bit,” he said. “See how that goes.”

Phillies had planned to rest J.T. Realmuto today. But he’s playing now. Phillies looking to avoid a 1-6 trip. Eflin vs. Marquez.

Seems like the manager is feeling some heat. These lineups are better but I am not sure I like the current top. Goal should be to get Schwarber back up there if they can fix him I think. His plate discipline did not just disappear overnight. Segura second is also not the worst move. He seems to do better there than at the top.
I just hope they don't push Odubel to leadoff when he is back. That would be panic (.288 OBP last year) to pay homage to a stereotype (leadoff hitters should be fast and have experience there).
