Why was Leake skipped or flipped?

thanks, I see that now, thought it was leake then bailey.
Today would be a good day for Willie Harris to bust out of his 0 for his last 12 years slump.
I know people are going to think this is a hater question, but why is Harris hitting in front of Mesoraco? Does anyone think he is a better hitter? Why must the catcher bat 8th?
I would offer this.
1)We just saw Mesoraco enter the game as a pinch runner. He does not lumber like most catchers.
2) You want to get your hot hitters more opportunites to hit not less. If Bruce, Rolen or Heisey are in scoring position, who is more likely to drive them in at this point in the season - Harris or Mesoraco?
Hearken back to your days in Geometry. They would give you a Theorem and then give you the Proof.
Theorem: Catcher bats 8th, dude.
I have that memorized. And after a little searching, I think I may have just come up with the proof.
Proof: “I don’t know it just comes to me,” Baker said. “It comes to me. I trust what comes to me.”

Now I am feeling much better about it.
And there you have it, ladies and germs.
Baker would like to have Stubbs in the leadoff spot and Cozart in the No. 2 spot.
“Hopefully, Stubbs will get his stuff together,” Baker said. “The perfect lineup would be Stubbs leading off with Cozart second.”
