Good to see EdE batting 4...

TBH, the way Hariston is hitting right now, I kinda like the lineup.

It's not a great thing when your pitcher is OPSing almost as much as your leadoff hitter.

Re: LINEUP thread vs SF Giants

I actually like this line-up... I guess Dusty is going to let Phillips think about his struggles a little bit...

Re: LINEUP thread vs SF Giants

Odd to sit one of our strongest hitting right-handed batters against a lefty though....why not give him the day off tomorrow against a righty, Kevin Correia....

I do like the concept of moving Hairston around the diamond to give the regulars a day off, as long as he is swinging the hot bat.

Has anyone heard any updates on Alex Gonzales? He seems to have fallen off the radar.

Re: LINEUP thread vs SF Giants

What's the over/under on the number of ground balls to the right side for Hairston?

Or when your #8 is OPSing almost as much as your #1/#3 combined

Lets hope Edwin can have a big night and maybe prove to Dusty he is the one who should be batting clean up.

Re: LINEUP thread vs SF Giants

I wonder if Freel is starting because of the brain fart that Patterson had the other day?

Yeah, but it looks to me like Jerry Hairston=the new Ryan Freel.

Could be a showcase job, and IMO, Freel and Hopper's days here are both numbered with the new regime. Freel will be very hard to deal, however. He needs to play a bit, get hot, and then look much more attractive to possible suitors.

wowsers, aside from Aaron being on the hill, it's tough to get excited about this one....

Re: LINEUP thread vs SF Giants

Check out that ugly Giants line-up... If we don't win 2 of 3 there is something definitely wrong. Wait, there probably is something definitely wrong...
