2 things. Simmons needs a breather every once in a while, so I am good with it today. Miami has a roof so that should not be a problem if it rains.
 
For all in europe!
Game is live on ESPN America!
It's baseball evening! after our game they show SF-Mets and then Pirats vs. A's

Sadly that this station will shut down at the end of the month!
 
Oh wow, how can you start both Pastornicky and CJ in the same infield with Uggla? Pastornicky is a terrible shortstop and we have a groundball pitcher on the mound and Uggla and CJ beside him (Pastornicky). This infield has no range, etc. I cannot think of a worse infield defensively at each position.

It makes sense to start Pastornicky, but not at short with both Uggla and CJ starting. That's crazy with a groundball pitcher on the mound.

For a one game sample its not likely to have much an effect. The negatives will bear out over a much larger sample though. I'm not worried for tonight. Just hit the ball and we will be fine.
 
CJ's defense at third alone had an effect last night. Simmons saves us a ton with his amazing range and arm, etc. Plus Maholm is a ground ball pitcher that depends a lot on DP's. It isn't just the errors, it's the plays that won't be made that concern me.

I don't disagree. But I still think when you look at it in terms of statistical probability of having an effect on one game I'm not all that worried. When you compound multiple games together is where it gets worrisome.

Sure, Pastor could boot two balls and not get to another two that Smmons gets to tonight but for one game I'm ok with taking that risk.
 
Who else do we have that can play SS these days with Pena out? I'm brain-farting, sorry.... And yes, free Terdo! I wanna see him play 3B!

Janish is the other SS. Terdo is now an OF'r, made a ton of errors at 3b so they moved him this winter.
