Lastings Lol. There is a blast from the past!
I will say PNC is a cool park!
I was more scared of the Padres, the dodgers line up seems more top heavy whereas the padres felt deep 1-9. But then watching them collect 2 hits last night made me long to face them lol.
As far as the rotation - I don’t have a preference. Peterson has been great, Senga is our ace. If we go that route game one I’m totally fine with it. If we go Manaea I totally get that too. It’s weird but I trust the staff 1-4 right now. I don’t trust the pen. At all.
As far as McNeil. I mean I wouldn’t tinker. His bat vs Taylor’s bat is negligible imo. Sure McNeil has a history of being a better hitter but he has batted .270 or worse for 2 straight seasons. Taylors glove is superior. I’d stick with Taylor and use McNeil as a pinch hitter late in games if needed.
