Anybody know the full line up yet?

My favorite day of the year. Love seeing Dakota In the two hole

Lem said Mershon's injury was not serious but they won't risk putting him in the lineup until he's 100%.

Yeah the kid wants to play BAD and could, but the smart play for the long haul is making sure he's healthy and doesn't reinjure.

Agreed. I think they want Dakota at the plate early and often. They want to get him going early in the season. He can be the straw that stirs the drink. I could see him moving to the 3 or 4 spot later in the year, or even sooner when Mershon returns.

I would love to get something out of Downs. He was highly touted. It's time for him to produce.

2B Larry
RF Dakota Jordan
1B Hines
LF Chance
3B Kohler
CF Hujsak
DH Downs
C Long
SS Cupp

Dohm on the mound

I believe Dakota was originally projected to be our 3 hole with Mershon in the 2 spot, but obviously the injury changed that. The top4 of Larry, Mershon, Jordan and Hines could really be something!

No doubt. Those guys have to produce.

Just be happy if we have no fielding errors in the infield/

Dohm allowed the first batter to single. Clearly the pitching hasn't improved, Parker sucks, and we won't win a game all year.

Surely you jest!

Great start. Fantastic

Held'em to one with a shaky start

This is our best pitcher?

AF starter had 26 walks last year, need to be patient

Well we got the first game jitters out in the first inning. Now let's blow em out.
