In the nightcap of Wednesday’s double-header between the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees, Jake Mangum was originally slated to bat lead off and patrol center field. However, he was a late scratch for the second game. There has been reason given as of yet. Billy Cook will replace Mangum and bat ninth in the lineup.

Mangum went 2-for-5 with a RBI in the first game. On the season, he’s slashing .303/.353/.375 with a 17% strikeout rate. He has two home runs, 35 runs scored, 21 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 270 plate appearances.

Cook is slashing .220/.220/.293 with a 36.6% strikeout rate and .073 ISO. He has nine runs, two RBIs, and five stolen bases in 41 plate appearances this season.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
