Figured mcdonald would be getting a start here sometime soon.  Old stuck in his ways Sosh sure has been starting Cron a lot lately.

Don't you know? Scioscia never plays rookies over veterans.

[tdawg87]

This lineup is awesome.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Let's win this mofo.

[T.G.]

I can't believe Trout isn't leading off and batting third at the same time.

[WallyWorld]

my one gripe with this lineup - why have ice-cold Howie in the lead-off spot when Cowgill has done a great job in that role and clearly will be feeling good tonight?

[Hollyw00d]

Lets sweep these A'ssholes right out of town

[Richard]

Let's go Weaver!

[T.G.]

I hate the A's... always have, always will.  Let's do this.

[Chimi]

I can't believe Trout isn't leading off and batting third at the same time.

I'm surprised Trout isn't batting 1-9 and just using "ghost man" to run the bases.

STFU

[Ochocinco!]

No Ibanez and No freeze ... YYYYYYAAAAASSSS!!!!!

[moccasin]

I know it's not as bad as the Ibanez edition, and that's a start, but sandwiching Trout with our 2 current coldest hitters depresses me.

Kendrick since the last road trip(60 PA) has gone .172/.200/.224, and we all no how Pujols has been.

good chat.

You know that since we are talking about this all those guys who have torqued Millone will now go 0-for.

[rageous]

It would be nice to have Green to play third.

How many starts at third has he had in Salt Lake?

yeah good pull on Kendrick's numbers vs. Millone (10-26 lifetime).  But Cowgill is 4-10.  Yes, 10 ABs is a tiny sample, but 26 ABs isn't exactly a full season. And we've seen when Kendrick goes cold, he goes ice cold.  Personally I'd rather bat him lower in the lineup until he comes out of it.  But anyways, here's to hoping facing Millone brings him out of his funk.

Only 7, but that's including 2 of the 3 games he played since being optioned there

[Jimmag]

Howie and Pujols will lead the offense to a BIG F*CKING A SWEEP!

[fan_since79]

Kendrick will go 4-4 tonight and break out of his slump.

[BleedRed]

I prefer Green to Freezincold anyday....and Pujols to DH baby step on way down the lineup?

[Quinlanforthewin]

STFU

 

You seem like a pleasant fellow. 

[Ohtaniland]

Cowgill looks like he's going to make Calhoun sit the pine a lot this season. He can hit both lefties and righties and a 2.3 WAR
