Love it. I appreciate that Freddi isn't going to fiddle around with the best offense this season...

Yeah for sure...if it ain't broken

Yep, stick with the lineup. Get as many wins as you can before we head out on this Philly/Wash trip.

 

[Dunit24]

I want to see this lineup vs Washington and Philly. I know BJ is close to returning, but Id love to see how this lineup can do in stretches. So many weapons.

 

[Heyward]

Would of given a couple guys off today but I can understand keeping it intact for the time being.

Gerald Laird had to have a procedure to remove his kidney stone, so he's still a few days away

China doll.

I wonder if Laird's calculus will change the 3-catcher equation?

Do you think Fredi's suffering from sympathetic urethral pains?

This is, by a wide margin, the most interesting thing about Gerald Laird.

Seems more like it's an issue of narrowness ...

 

[Hulavol]

I bet our fifth starter doesn't have that problem...

 

[Julio3000]

Gerald is looking at the bright side, and hoping that this incident will maybe, possibly, score him a real nickname.

 

[Hulavol]

By the way, go check out the latest advice from our friend Jerry...

 

[tululush]

Wonder what he does when BJ comes back. Where does he bat in the lineup? Does he keep Heyward at leadoff?

Yeah for sure...if it ain't broken

 

[stpeteirish]

no Cargo, no Cuddyer, AA pitcher; Should be a cakewalk for our boys.

And probably won't be, that's just the way things work.

 

[parkvadawg]

I'm pretty positive he keeps Jason leading off

 

[Hulavol]

I'm pretty positive he keeps Jason leading off

Very much agreed. I'd like to see him leave Jason in CF too...
