Donaldson back in lineup!
DJ bats lead off. That's absurd!
Torres sits.
Although Stanton is batting only .191, he has the higher BA for the cleanup hitters tonight.

Boone is having Cabrera pinch-hit for Trevino instead of Torres???
Three pitches, three strikes, and he's out. I'm thinking Trevino could have done that.
Volpe has two hits so far, and has hit the ball HARD every time up.
"Lucas Erceg" anagrams to "Scarce Glue."
And "Cruel Cages."
McKinney went after that foul ball thinking it was fair. What a refreshing reversal from the Hicks Era. Or should I say, the Hicks Error?
I got on the mound
Down in old Oakland
Where they're in last place
And the fans are like oh, so-so, man
He walked on to first
And proceeded to dance
Trevino tossed down
And he was picked off
Oh, Noda, N-O-D-A, Noda
No, no, no, no, Noda
(with apologies to Ray Davies)
