First of all, they will almost certainly be sending down a hitter. In addition, there are a handful of key players on the team that are clearly not options. Ryan Jeffers, Carlos Corre...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16295</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Jun 2024 13:15:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Make It Official!

Regardless of how a guy may be going, the handedness of the opposing pitcher will dictate what players start, and where they fall in the batting order.
