Didn't say I was being successful... just trying haha

I hate having Alexander, gridley, and marrero 2,3, and 5

I like seeing Cody in there today. AC clearly sees a 5 hole hitter in Elih, so we'll see what happens. If we struggle against these guys and their #3 starter, I'll be surprised

Im fine with LA & Grid 2&3, but Elih at 5 is, well, interesting. I'll trust AC though...it's early.

Brown & LA 4 and 5?

If I were changing anything it would be something like moving Gordon or someone like that ahead of Rooker so he will see some fastballs. But I think Rooker at 4 is the best RBI option right now until someone else emerges

I want rooker 3rd bc I want him to get the extra AB. Just think if he was 3rd last night, he gets the final AB. The 3-spot had 2 on and 3 on the last 2 ABs last night.

About brown... he's a career .799 ops in 345 ABs. Gridley is a career .663 OPS in 398 ABs. Brown has 31 extra base hits in his career... gridley has 17 in more ABs

Anxious to see what Plumlee looks like on the hill

Baseball threads are beyond impossible to read. Hell, football threads after losing to south Alabama are better. It's painful.

So how good is plumlee?

Groundout, 1 away.

Any chance we see Ashcraft this wknd?

Basehit. 1 on 1 out for the Leathernecks
