Hos

Moose
Escobar
Salvy
Frenchy/Dyson
Johnson/Getz

I would put Perez at five or six, but I like Hosmer at leadoff given his current situation.

Hopefully Moose can keep up his production from the last two weeks.

MLB just confirmed that the umps blew it in Houston. Its too bad the Angels won, we could have had the first upheld protest in decades.

No idea, man. I'm sure it was sent to/intended for a female.

I've seen the same picture, won't reveal the source but Billy is sharing it for sure.

As the season has gone on and that has NOT happened, it became a little different. I didn't think Lorenzo Cain would be this productive at the plate.

I still don't like Escobar in the leadoff spot - OBP issues - long term, but now that the lineup has been shaken up, I think you roll with it for a little while and see what happens.

I'm in the same boat, I also argued for Gordon to stay at leadoff. Hootie is right that you need guys who drive the ball in the middle of the lineup to score runs. But, you also need guys at the top getting on base. I'd hoped Butler/Hos/Moose/Sal would be consistently driving the ball, but that hasn't happened. So, I'm good with switching things up. It was time. I still think Gordon could shift back to the top if those supposed middle of the lineup guys get it going. I don't like Alcides at leadoff, but he's probably the best option if not Gordon.

In other news... Myers hasn't been anything special in triple A this year...

Currently .275/.372/.422 and has hit .171 the last 10 games.

Picked up a bottle of Billy Butlers hit it a ton BBQ sauce today. KC trip complete.

We used it on some ribs last weekend.

Its pretty good - I think it tastes alot like Gates.

Do people still want to send Hosmer and Moose to AAA?

Didn't know if you guys had seen this, I thought it was cool.
Here's a gif of Yu Darvish, and his five main pitches, all overlapped. So you can see why this guy is so hard to hit. You never know what's going to come out of his hand, how fast, and where....

heh, no..we have no better options really. Ill just say that we wont ever win anything unless they develop into stars. We desperately need their bats to come alive. At this point in their careers they have been very average.
