April 26 Game two vs the White Sox Trax dominates

[fansince71]

I beg to differ, sir.

So Dave Sims , Dave Valle, Mike Blowers and Rick Rizz are more to your liking huh? There freakin horrible

[Baroquen131]

Nice hustle by Trax to field that ball.

It may be time to move Mora to back of the lineup. Flip flop him with Jones soon perhaps. Mora isn't hitting anything right now. Even Millar looks better.

Mora just smoked that ball. I was just thinking he looks like he's getting ready to break out. If he doesn't in the next couple of days though I'd say a day off could be in order. Jones in the #2 hole doesn't make sense. He's destined for the middle of the order. If Mora needs to be moved down, how about a shakeup along the lines of:

Roberts

Millar (his best asset is seeing a lot of pitches and walking and cleanup is not treating him well)

Markakis

Scott

Huff

Jones

Mora

R Hernandez

Nohit Shortstop

Yes I realize that's three lefties in a row but I think that's overrated. Both Markakis and Scott have pretty even splits anyway. Huff and/or Scott could move down below any combination of Jones/Mora/Hernandez based on who's hot.

[JTrea81]

I'd put Jones in between Huff and Scott to break up the three LH hitters.

[blueberryale77]

Nick walks and Millar can't advance him. This seems to happen quite a bit...

Well in fairness that's just because Nick gets walked every other at bat.

[blueberryale77]

I'd put Jones in between Huff and Scott to break up the three LH hitters.

As long as he's not slumping I'd be fine with that. The only concern would be putting too much pressure on the rookie.

[JTrea81]

He wouldn't if there was a threat in the lineup behind him.

[osfan83]

Trax is doing his best D-Cab impression with the walks (not the speed of his pitches)

[JTrea81]

Trax will be lucky to pitch 5 at this rate...

[McNulty]

So Dave Sims , Dave Valle, Mike Blowers and Rick Rizz are more to your liking huh? There freakin horrible

Yes, in comparison to Hawk and DJ they are.

No, in comparison to a hangover or kick in the nuts.

[Crazysilver03]

We mine as well have Johnson ready to start the 4th.

[McNulty]

I'd put Jones in between Huff and Scott to break up the three LH hitters.

I still think his OBP is too low for that high in the order.

I'm with BB in putting Millar and his high OBP there.

[osfan83]

I actually like Dave Sims. Used to listen to him on WFAN.

[blueberryale77]

He wouldn't if there was a threat in the lineup behind him.

True, but it's not Millar's fault how Trembley writes out the lineup and if you have a runner on first in half your at bats there are going to be plenty of times you don't advance him even if you are a pretty good situation hitter.

[McNulty]

WTF was that?? He clearly stopped at third!!
