Game Thread: Career .048 hitter Trevor Bauer in lineup to face Cubs

It’s another series in a National League park, meaning the Indians will be playing with outdated rules that require a player who spends almost no time practicing hitting to hit against professional pitching.

Remember this? The last time pitchers hitting was fun and good?

Don’t expect him to do the same thing again, but I would love for him to have something interesting up his sleeve when he comes up to bat at some point tonight.
