Penny owns Dunn, so I understand why he is sitting. However why is Hollandsworth batting in front of BP and Ross?

Because he's older.

Thank you for postin tonight.. I have been unlucky as of late.. 0-2 and 1-2 for the season posting game threads. We didn't have to face Kent last time.. him added to this line-up is just going to be hectic. We need to get on the board fast and often.

Saving Dunn for that walk off or should I say game winning HR in the top of the 9th. Man, Dunn could use a night off anyways.

you think this could also be a test for Hollandsworth? Denorfia and Hopper may be better options...

No, Dunn just can't hit Penny.

I read about it the other day.

I've got a feeling Michalak is gonna get tourched.

I don't usually pick on the lineup, but don't love sitting Dunn. If he doesn't hit Penny, drop him down to sixth (where Hollandsworth is now hitting). Dunn hasn't been good lately, but he tends to come out of his slumps suddenly and is viewed by the opponent as a big threat. LA probably views Dunn's seat on the bench tonight as a big favor by Narron.

Hope Hollandsworth has a good night, just personally think team has to live or die with Dunn down the stretch.

Let's hope Michalak keeps Dodgers off balance tonight.

I agree with you but I agree with sitting him as well. Dunn has been a work horse..err Donkey. We will need a well rested Dunn for the remainder of the series and its not a bad move.. not a good move as Dunn is a huge part of the offense.. but I think it will favor us in the remaining 2 games

What a pesky lineup.... Furcal, Lofton (very quick in his day, not sure about now, haven't watched him in forever), and Lugo

This one has all the makings of a bad one. Penny hasn't been good lately though.

I'd still be surprised if this one was close.
