I think Pujols injured his Sombrero.

He's in the lineup. Must have overlooked it when I saw Cron hitting 4th. Slipped my mind that they moved him back to 3rd.

Victorino? why?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Way to go Cron

[Guest]

Cron's been great lately. I'm pleasantly surprised. 

[Ray McKigney]

Victorino? why?

 

Because platoon.

[fan_since79]

Victorino? why?

 

Match ups.

 

Plus, he's 3-for-3 lifetime vs Perez, with 3 RBI.

 

Why not?

Why not?

Are those hits stats against him or his "feels" against him?

Scratches his head why any manager would start Featherston .....

With Gia out, I think his only other choice is Ryan Jackson.

 

Pick your (non-hitting) poison.

Grant Green starts, Jackson or Featherston late for defense....Green isn't great but he's our best offensive 2bman right now....

[Docwaukee]

As bad as Utley has been this year, I'd still rather see him in there than any other option we have.  oh well.

Wow, I totally forgot about Green. I have to make a note to myself that he's still here.

He usually plays good defense and has a .383 OBP.

 

 

Oh wait, that's his OPS....

[seenoevil]

Pujols ss

[fan_since79]

Don't we have any decent 2nd basemen in the minors?

[Angel Oracle]

Just Sherman Johnson in AA and Andrew Daniel in high-A

Hopefully they'll sign Howie Kendrick.

The park is half empty

[ijustwantsomeoffense]

Why not Cowgill over Victorino?

[ijustwantsomeoffense]

Good thing Cowart is on the bench....sigh

[jsnpritchett]

Is Garrett Richards actually any good?

[Stradling]

When Scioscia was making out the line up he looked at your screen name so he went with who he thought would be the better offensive player.

[Stradling]

Well so far he has allowed two ground balls, one just happened to get past a very average third baseman with very average range. He hits that ground ball a foot to the right and you wouldn't be asking that yet.
