Ongoing Lineup Thread, 2012

Where in the world is Reimold? The guy is on fire right now.

Oh please, he didn't even homer yesterday. Nick Johnson needs at bats to get into a groove. Just like Vlad did last year.

Hit 2 home runs today, Johnson.

Since we aren't expecting anything from you anyway, just swing hard and hope that you hit it.

I guess Buck's rationale will be to rest Reimold because of the hammy or whatever it was? We'll see, but I must admit I'm already starting to roll my eyes every time I see Chavez in the lineup.

Except for the part where Buck said Nolan would be starting these last three games in Chicago.

Maybe he'll make an outstanding catch today, like he did in Game Seven of the 2006 N.L.C.S.

Chin up.

For all of the early season positives thus far, I gotta say this lineup really sucks. Chavez, Kakes, Johnson, Reynolds...these guys look completely lost right now. Hammel better have his A-game today because he isn't gonna get much run support.

Roch just tweeted that Nolan has neck spasms.

I've had neck pain and a kinked neck and all that stuff, but neck spasms doesn't sound all that debilitating. I love Nolan, but he really does get a ton of nagging injuries.

Maybe he's getting the Sunday lineup out of the way early this week.

Nice to see Roch is doing his job. I guess it would be asking to much to have had the answer ready when he posted the lineup. No way for him to know that fans would care right?

A cramp, a spasm. The O's might need to get Nolan some muscle relaxers.

Our first six hitters in the lineup today are hitting carrying these batting averages:

.117
.196
.196
.306
.000
.167

It is great that we have packed the front of our lineup with all of our hot hitters.

Yep, as any statistician can tell you, you should always throw history completely out the window and rely on the most recent 1 percent of data points.

The lineups are usually given to the media before the manager has his pre-game press conference. At the time Roch posted the lineup, he didn't yet know that Reimold had back spasms.

OK, it wasn't that good, but it sure was a good catch at a great time !!!
