Predict the line-up vs Fla....Game 1

[Coach34]

what will Mixmaster Cohen come up with for Game 1? Should be facing a RHP

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Frazier
Pirtle
Renfroe
Rea
Porter
Detz
Bradford
Slauter
Robson

[Spider-Man]

Frazier
Pirtle
Renfroe
Detz
Rea
Porter
Slauter
Henderson
Bradford

[Will James]

Oh we're facing a righty? In that case its obviously going to be:

Frazier SS L
Bradford CF L
Detz 1B L
Porter DH L
Frost 3B L
Pirtle 2B S but will bat L
Robson LF L
Ammirati C S but will bat L
Britton RF L

[Will James]

But for real it SHOULD be

Frazier SS
Pirtle 2B
Detz 3B
Renfroe RF
Rea 1B
Porter DH
Slauter C
Bradford CF
Robson LF

If we want to put Detz in LF and Norris at 3rd it would be better

My SWAG:

Frazier
Bradford
Renfroe
Detz
Rea
Slauter
Porter
Robson
Henderson

[WeWillScrewItUp]

But for real it SHOULD be

Frazier SS
Pirtle 2B
Detz 3B
Renfroe RF
Rea 1B
Porter DH
Slauter C
Bradford CF
Robson LF

If we want to put Detz in LF and Norris at 3rd it would be better

I was thinking the same thing about detz in left just don't see Cohen doing it. I would have liked to have seen him there in a midweek or non-conference game to see how he does but that hasn't happened so I say to hell with it and let's give it a shot.

[Dawgdom]

My choice...

Theisen
Van Cleve
Palmeiro
Clark
Morgan
Davis
Thigpen
Butt
Abrams

[Coach34]

My choice...

Theisen
Van Cleve
Palmeiro
Clark
Morgan
Davis
Thigpen
Butt
Abrams

I'd have Castoria at DH

[Coach34]

If I'm making out the line-up, and God knows I should have some input...vs RHP

1. Frazier SS
2. Detz 3B
3. Renfroe RF
4. Porter DH
5. Rea 1B
6. Pirtle 2B
7. Slaughter C
8. Robson LF
9. CT Bradford CF

Pirtle hits better from the right side- I bat him 2nd vs LHP
Detz hitting 2nd after Frazier should get us some guys on base for Renfroe and Company
I bat Rea 4th vs LHP, and insert Norris at DH to replace Porter
Henderson plays LF vs LHP

Glad to see somebody else gets my approach to having Bradford bat 9th.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Frazier
Detz
Renfroe
Rea
Pirtle
Slaughter
Robson
Porter
Bradford

I don't know, think I would have a better chance picking the lineup by throwing darts at the roster hanging on the wall

[engie]

We're getting the guy that threw the Saturday shut out against OM on Friday, the RHP Crawford...He struggled to start the year, but is uber talented. Not loving the matchup with him against Pollo...

Frasier
Pirtle
Renfroe
Detz
Rea
Porter
Norris
Slauter
Bradford

Of course, this puts Detz in left...

[The Croom Diaries]

The chances of accurately predicting this is close to 100:1. But I'll give my lineup

Frazier
Bradford - slumping but still has a higher average and OB% than Frazier in SEC play
Pirtle
Renfroe
Rea
Detz
Porter
Ammirati - since it's vs. a righy and Slauter is still "weak" according to Cohen
Armstrong - why the hell not, LF is not hitting worth a crap lately and he's got speed at the bottom of the lineup.

[State82]

This would be mine, too. Bradford badly needs to move to the bottom of the line-up. I think he breaks out eventually, but right now he's better suited for the 9 hole.

Edited to add that I was agreeing with Coach34's lineup. That would be my setup also.

Love your lineup vs a RH. The only thing I might change vs a LH would be playing Norris at 3rd and DHing Detz...but that is a minor change.

I might also put Bradford in the 8 spot and Robson 9 in your lineup, mainly so that late in the game if Bradford reached, we could use Robson to bunt him over and into scoring position for Frazier. But then again, it would be great to have Bradford lead off an inning and know that there is no weak hitters between he and Frazier. So again, a toss up really.

But I really like that lineup vs a RH
