    Heard about this on the radio with Don and Jim. They said Kershaw was ready to go but they had to wait for tv and ump was most likely telling him not to get out to the mound too early.

    Schafer is 5-11 vs Greinke. With his improved D over Gattis, do we see him tonight?

    I pray that we do. I think Gattis over 162 games is a better player than Schafer or Bossman but in games where one run can make all the difference, I think the defensive afvantage that an OF of LF - Justin CF - Bossman/Schafer RF - Jason is the best way to go and I think yesterday proved that. Gattis's bat added no runs but his glove cost us potentially 2 or 3.

    Schafer has a .455 OPS in the second half.

    Glad to hear it. Gattis got on base three times last night and hit the ball hard the fourth at bat.

    Schafer has looked as bad as Upton at the plate.

    If you think that warrants his defense being in there over Gattis' bat potential then well...

    I kind of had a big laugh last night after BJ struck out. Ron Darling said something "That just adds on to BJ's awful 1 for his last 34 skid he was in to end the season". LOL 1 for 34. Even I had to laugh at that. That's just unbelievable.

    Again, if the reason for Uggla not being on the roster was poor offense, then the same should apply to BJ. Schafer can't hit well, but he brings speed and defense, so that cancels the need for BJ. And again, Reed Johnson was 1-3 career against Kershaw and didn't get an opportunity there. If Schafer is 5-for-11 against Greinke, I think that deserves at least some thought to him being the first pinch-hitter up if nothing else.

    I'm not discouraged losing to Kershaw. It's expected. I'm just discouraged because yet again we made way too many errors and mental mistakes. Minors going to throw a gem tonight.

    They got some good swings off Kershaw early then he found his rhythm and that's all she wrote.

    Mac just missed a HR by a few feet.

    Minor needs to be great.

    Not sure why we would bench Gattis after how he looked at the plate. That might have been the best he has looked all year considering who was pitching.

    Yeah, his OF play is not good but I don't think the play he missed was necessarily an "easy" play. Not sure what he was thinking when he was doubled off of first. I guess Puig faked him out well but he needs to be more conservative.

    Gattis needs to be in the lineup. He's a huge threat for us. Just because of one baserunning mistake and a tough play he didn't make in the OF....I'm not benching him. Nobody played well yesterday.

    Gattis is MUCH more of a weapon off the bench, especially if he is going to be batting 4th and playing left. He has proved that numerous times.

    There is a reasonable case for Schafer, given his record against Greinke and the fact Minor is a fly ball pitcher. But Schafer hit so poorly in the second half, I'd rather take my chances on Gattis. As for lineup construction, I don't think it makes much difference if Gattis and Chris Johnson are flip flopped. I do approve of Fredi going lefty-righty with the first six guys in the lineup.
