Ongoing lineup thread for 2013

[Dipper9]

Last time vs CC, Nick was 2 for 3.

[NewMarketSean]

Came here to ***** about Markakis batting lead off. You guys said it already.

[Roll Tide]

This is by far our best line up.

Sorry to disagree but our best lineup has McLouth leading off! Check the winning % with and without and I'm sure you'll agree

[isestrex]

With B-Rob and Nate sitting (for good reason), who else leads off?

Casillia? His numbers against CC are great.

Who cares? Maybe anyone but the guy who's been awful for 3 months.

Yeah, really. Hell, I'd be for Manny hitting leadoff (Granted he may not have the speed).

[webbrick2010]

Yeah, really. Hell, I'd be for Manny hitting leadoff (Granted he may not have the speed).

He is faster than Markakis

[waroriole]

Speed doesn't matter. Nick has no speed.

Put Morse there, or Valencia.

[FlipCup]

He is faster than Markakis

Good point. It's been a long day.

[Ommaculate]

He is faster than Markakis

Buck is delusional. He cannot accept the fact Markakis is done. He will have a rude awakening when he is watching the first round of playoffs on his big screen.

• Brittany Ghiroli ‏<s>@</s>Britt_Ghiroli <small class="time">2m </small>

  <s>#</s>Orioles lineup: Markakis 9, Machado 5, Jones 8, Davis 3, Valencia DH, Hardy 6, Morse 7, Wieters 2, Casilla 4, Tillman SP

OPPOSING PITCHER O (SEPTEMBER 9th)

C.C. Sabathia - LHP (13-11, 4.86 ERA)

Sabathia leads the major leagues in earned runs allowed (103.)

Let's go, Orioles.

But you have to throw logic out the window, there is no logic anymore having Nick bat first. To be honest, I would take Casilla batting first over him.

Batting Casilla lead-off would have been a fine example of the Reboulet Maneuver. I'd accept it and respect Buck for his boldness.

[Aristotelian]

Squirrel found another nut! I didn't like nick batting leadoff but credit buck that it worked this time.

[isestrex]

Yeah, our worst hitter leading off.

Ugh, Kakes first again?

But you have to throw logic out the window, there is no logic anymore having Nick bat first. To be honest, I would take Casilla batting first over him.

CC will be gone by the 5th inning so you want Markakis at the top of the order against the RH'ers in the bullpen

Hey that sounds pretty good... but no way I'd bat Markakis above 7th in any lineup.

He's one of Buck's guys, and he will win or lose with him playing a prominent role.

Three days ago, I started a thread stating that Chris Davis should sit, giving logical reasons. He preceded to go 3 for 4, and I immediately posted my retraction following the game.

...the ball is in your court gentlemen.
