I'd like to see...
a switch up in the lineup like the first game kind of lineup. I think Tulo should be dropped or switched or something. Last year a change in scenery was what he needed. Instead, we get the same old same old:
1. Taveras
2. Tulo
3. Helton
4. Holliday
5. Atkins
6. Hawpe
7. Torre
8. Nix
9. Jimenez
Oh well…let’s just hope that this lineup starts producing, because it’ll probably be a familiar sight.

First game of this series...
I meant. I don’t mean play all the backups again, but do mess with the batting order a bit.

Lineup
I know this lineup is the one we will be seeing more and more… but i kinda liked friday’s lineup. Esp Tulo in the 5 hole.
Just thinking… maybe someday this lineup will be used.
1. Taveras
2. Nix(Barmes)
3. Holliday
4. Helton
5. Tulo/atkins
6. Atkins/tulo
7. hawpe
8. Torre
/ know the L/R don’t offset, BUT i think this would be a decent lineup
//I know Nix has to become decent at the plate. I wonder if Barmes overtakes him at somepoint this year. If Barmes does, then there is the possibility that TUlo could move to the 5/6 slot

I liked Tulo in the 5 slot...
Hopefully (doubtfully) we’ll see him there some more.

Let us hope that Shawn Chacon
pitches like the Shawn Chacon we all knew and hated (I can’t be the only one who remembers “1-9, 31 SV, 7.71”).
Let’s go, Rox!

Entering a game against Baltimore
with a 3 run lead, walking the bases loaded then promplty giving up a grand slam. Oh those were the days.

Too early to say anything...
But I don’t think it’s a wise idea to keep trotting this lineup out when the mix ups have worked so well. That’s entirely gut feeling, not a prediction.

The last time I did we had a 22 inning ballgame. All I want to say is, please pound the strike zone today U-ball! Don’t worry about getting hit hard, you have amazing stuff, trust it.

Every time U-Ball
gets out of an inning, I breathe a sigh of relief. Not a good sign.
by Tyler Boschert on Apr 20, 2008 12:18 PM MDT 0 recs
U-ball can be dominant
I’m talking bonafide number 1 ace material, he just has to learn how to pitch, learn how to pound the strike zone, and learn how to pitch hitters differently their 2nd and 3rd times around and keep focus late in games.

Great opening frame
Surprising (but nice) to see U-ball pitch a first inning that well.

I wouldn't be so upset...
with all these people playing if it wasn’t the same lineup over and over. I would MUCH rather have Iannetta in there, but what about putting Nix elsewhere in the lineup, moving Tulo, something? Maybe even switching them? They both need a change in scenery.

I remember watching one of his first starts in SD
with a friend. We both had our jaws drop several times.
Just give him the confidence of Peavy, and we’ll have a 20+ game winner on our hands.

Who knows how well he will ever put it together but the tools are obviously there for him to absolutely dominate hitters.

There are several other players you could apply the slow start label …Matt gets the slowly getting warmer label, I think.
