Third walk for Marsh tonight, along with a hit.

Sosa has failed repeatedly tonight, but can redeem himself here.

Pinch hitting for Rojas. Will this be the one time in 20 that it works?

You probably need about 500 ABs for it to be significant, which is why both Thomson and the front office still regularly do it (for any platoon match-up - though not all of them obviously).

Ah, those two weeks when Kody was going to be our new LF (they just showed one of his HRs).
