Glad they plugged Ortiz in for both of these games against LHP!  Holding out hope it’s a changing of the guard!

2 games in a double header and you don't even start/play your $8 Million 2nd baseman. One of the most expensive bench warmers in the league. Granted, there are more expensive bench warmers in places like New York, but it's the same notion.

He won't start against lefties right now, but he still got 2 ab's in Game 1.

Alright, why not have Mateo lead off?  He’s completely locked in.  I want him to get the most ABs possible.

I still dont  get the MCkENNA love...

I really think the regular lineup should be Mullins, Mateo, Adley going forward.  

[SteveA]

Nice piece of hitting Adley

I do not even bother commenting on the issue anymore.  And he’s starting both games of the double-header.

Grayson off to what is becoming his traditional start 

[Billy F-Face3]

That's how it's done Mateo! You don't get in a foot race with Jorge Mateo!

[Winter]

Mateo might of saved a big inning with that one

[Roy Firestone]

do we EVER get a clean first inning?

no command early on again or pitching scared? either way its 0-0 at least this time around

GRod hasn't thrown a slider yet, though he's thrown a few cutters. Might be changing his approach a bit.
