    So much for the aversion to Sunday specials.

    I kind of understand the Castro starting thing. Kind of sort of. I'm not in agreement, but I can see where he is coming from. But not hitting 2nd.

    sure, Cole Hamels, it's the GAB mound that makes you comfortable facing the Reds.

    It's got nothing to do with Juan Castro.

    I think it has more to do with Hamels pitching. I am oddly fine with that line-up. Seven right bats and only Dunn from the left side? Makes sense to me.

    Bako is a lefty.

    Castro's there for educational purposes.

    here, this is what I want you to avoid doing..

    Not complaining, just pointing out to the poster who said Dunn was the only lefty.

    Yup. Bako has to play, which cannot be avoided.

    And, that's not a bad thing. He's calling good games right now.

    If Castro has got to play why bat him 2nd? Hopper would be better 2nd. Interesting too that Keppinger is playing first today.

    And, we had to know that Juan would play sometime.

    I think there's more angst at his lineup slot than the fact he's playing. Everyone knew he was going to get a start sometime. They just hoped he'd be hitting 8th when it happened.
