It should be no surprise. Buck said before the season started he was going to do it.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Sisco leading off. Maybe not tomorrow.

Oh yeah, it is definitely subject to change. I think Buck is doing everything he can to give Davis a boost.

He said it was odd, not a surprise.

Interesting that Santander gets the call at DH.  Alvarez available to pinch hit as a lefty.

I misread. My apologies for that.

I'm giving it one more game.

I'm all for leaving CD at leadoff at least until he gets his first hit, or maybe leave him there until he gets his average above .200, which could be the entire year

[ScGO's]

Manny needs to be leading off right now.  Maximize your best hitter's ABs.  

[Frobby]

Lineup order is a much overrated topic.     The team has managed 8 hits over two games.    It hardly matters what order you put the hitters in when the hits are that sparse.

I guess they weren’t as impressed with Santanders defense as they implied, they still ran a first baseman out to the outfield over him.

I'm thinking it was a Buck thing.

I was hoping for the Davis leadoff experiment to end but it will continue.

This Davis leadoff thing is as cute as bringing in Ubaldo instead of Britton with the season on the line.

And knowing Buck, the more it fails, the longer he will stick with it.
