If you bat Dunn 3rd or 4th then there is a greater chance of having one or more runners on base when Dunner hits a home run.Originally Posted by degenerate10
I like this lineup better than day 1, but I would bat Ross ahead of Gonzalez.
Or when Dunn strikes out
Or when he walks
At least he's matching well, I don't hate Jerry I can see the method though I don't agree with it most of the time (it's the fun of being a fan) but anyone who watched the game Monday saw the Lefty success and the righty struggle against Carlos Z, with the exeption of Phillips walks.
I say this will work better than the RLRLRL etc against Lilly.
That said, Griffey 5th!!!! WTF?!?!
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/ar...articleid=6063The Cubs may have to scramble for a Wednesday starter. As I turn this in, Ted Lilly is still their scheduled starter, but he's also been fighting the flu since the team's weekend in Vegas. He's been on medication and fluids, but even if he makes the start, expect Lou Piniella to go to the bullpen more quickly than he might normally. Weather in Cincinnati is looking dicey, with Weather.com telling me that there are 20-30 mph winds with 40 mph gusts, plus a gametime temperature around 30. Spring in the Midwest is always an adventure, but with an ailing pitcher and Adam Dunn, this could be one worth watching. Still, despite the drama of the moment, there's no real long-term issue here for Lilly.
And the first game as a Red for Conine the Barbarian.
My heart is aflutter with excitement.

Uh-huh. Vegas "flu" aka mother of all hangovers. I tried that story on my wife when I came home from Vegas. Didn't fly.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
EE right where he needs to be. Love the speed at the top of the lineup too.
"Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?!"
I did.
In a state of excited anticipation.
FYI, Steve Finley is playing CF and leading off for the Rockies today. He's 0-4 so far.
Man, I wish we would've gotten him.
Love,

I'm predicting 3 home runs for Conine.
Not that I'm saying we should have...but who hasn't gone 0-4?
