I guess the Pirates intelligent approach to hitting explains why they have the least amount of runs scored in the majors this year.

C: Hanigan/Mesoraco v Avila/Laird ... wash.

1B: Votto v Fielder ... wash (if anything, Votto)

2B: Phillips v Raburn, Santiago (or whatever scrub the Tigers are playing at 2B that day) ... Phillips

3B: Rolen/Frazier v Cabrera ... Cabrera

SS: Cozart v Peralta ... Cozart (we're not talking about last year)

LF: Ludwick/Heisey v Young ... wash (Young's numbers stink ... they're like spoiled milk)

CF: Stubbs v Jackson ... Jackson (but not by much)

RF: Bruce v Boesch ... Bruce

The Tigers sit 8th in runs scored in the AL this year, FWIW, so the duo of Cabrera/Fielder can't be getting that much help.

Why jack one to the leftfield bleachers when you can punch a base wrap over the 2nd basemen?

Cozart with another single

Heisey laces a single down the right field line, 1st and third

Yes.

Perralta has better numbers this year than Cozart so I would call that a wash also. Cozart would be better if this team had a legitimate leadoff hitter. Basically their about even but this Tigers team is an under achieving bunch which isn't like a Leyland team. When V-Mart comes back the lineup will be that much better. I still like their lineup even with the facts in front of my face. Over a 162 game season they will produce

I'm concerned about Joey here. He may faint when he realizes there are two on and no out for him.

Votto 3-run jack!

HOMERUN JOEY!!!!!!

Best hitter in baseball! :jump:
