Glad to see Heck get a shot, but moving up CT and putting Randolph back out there?

Thought the same thing. I'd prefer to put CT 8th, move Detz to 2nd. Bump Hindu and Heck up one spot and catch Collins
Detz is batting 6th. I think Will James's head might explode.
Seriously, I agree with all the personnel on the field (except maybe Randolph), but that order is a little strange.
No doubt Randolph and CT will each go 4-4 tonight.
No Robson in CF? I thought he played well this last weekend with the walks and stolen bases.
Detz is hitting .200 coming into today. We need someone getting hits out of that spot- not walks.
Unfortunately, we can only play three out there. Everyone will get their shot though.Quote:

The lineup order itself had nothing to do with the 13 runs.Quote:

I dropped 150 points in my average in just few short games. My coach had a choice.. Move me down the lineup or move me back to where I was. in wisdom he moved me back to where I was. Finished the year batting 320 with a TON of extra base hits..... As a senior I hit well over 400 and i batted 3rd the entire year other than one game when coach was trying to get a spark i was moved to 4th and struck out 3 times... needless to say that was a 1 game deal.....Now having said that I do agree that many are not affected that way but some are. That is why the phrase "shaking up the lineup " exists. Baseball is a funny game but I assure you that a lineup can make or break the run production of the game. If Henderson had not been batting where he was in the order, we would not have had the huge inning bc there a good chance whoever was there would have gotten out.Quote:
