I guess Roberts knew what he was doing after all, putting Muncy in a spot where he could drive in a run with a walk.

Mookie can get a day off even though he’s the hottest hitter in the sport but Muncy has to be in the lineup every game.
just like pulling Turner in the 6th inning of a no hitter he just has no clue things like "riding the hot hand" just escape him i'm sure the guy appreciates a day off but was he asked? pretty sure it was Mookie who said he needed to remind himself he was being paid to play a kids game recently what could be better than rolling on all cylinders? the wattage from that smile could light up ocean shitty atm if the situation was reversed and i was a nationals fan going to the game i'd feel disappointed same as if the Phils had decided to rest Harper in the last homestand shouldn't fuck w a guy this locked in imo
And even more perplexing is that Bellinger is out again, two in a row. So now you have both of your best outfielders on the bench. Why not push back Mookie's day off? These getaway games - seems Davey uses them as an excuse to do illogical things with his lineup.

Jeez, Max, three strikes, all looking? If you're not going to swing the bat, tell Roberts you need a day off or something.
Why the f*ck is Muncy still in the lineup? I mean, I thought we had a DH in the National League, but he’s essentially taking the pitcher’s spot. It’s stupid carting him out there game after game. Please, utilize the DH and get a capable hitter out there until Max rehabs and finds his swing again.
