    Inserting a **** player #2 in an attempt to "balance" the lineup is why this team does not have big innings very often and knock pitchers out early.

    Maybe Fredi thinks they are twins and has them confused?

    So true. How can you put your worst hitter right I the middle of your best hitters. Just makes zero sense. It's like saying, no I don't want to score in bunches, I prefer just 1 run here and there. Wait for the random solo home run.

    Maybe the most logical excuse I've heard. Brilliant

    I'll never understand why anyone throws Johnson a strike. He and his 2% walk total and his ability to K 25% of the time says he'll get himself out if you let him.
    All you need is Hart and Cox.

    BJ being in the two hole is as misguided as the folks that think Gladiator is better than Braveheart

    I think Fredi is trying to send BJ a message and he just isn't getting it.

    "Hey, BJ, I want you in the 2-hole."

    There is no logical reason for BJ in the 2-hole. I don't care what Fredi has to say. It makes no sense and it's stupid. Not only has he not hit much of anywhere but his defense hasn't been that great as of late. That being said, I'm just glad justin is back. The lineup is so much stronger with him there. Also, I've seen a lot of GoT references lately... So, Hodor!

    I think that's the general scouting report on our team, not just CJ.

    Ditto. There is literally no slider too far outside for him.

    Just turned on Fox and I'm getting the Tigers vs. the Indians so I'll be reduced to listening to it on MLB radio.
