May 16, 200422 yr Pierre cf Harris lf Cabrera rf Lowell 3b Cordero 1b Castillo 2b Mordecai ss Castro c Penny p
May 16, 200422 yr oh god I was expecting Easley....Mordi can't hit for s*** Can Harris hit 2nd? Where is Nunez?
May 16, 200422 yr This is going to be fairly interesting. Cordero, Mordy, Harris, and Castro all in the same lineup? Oh dear.
May 16, 200422 yr that's some supreme faith in Dime i guess he wants to get everyone a lot of rest before the 3 week playing time
May 16, 200422 yr Just hope to hell they score some runs today, because I am not sure about Harris in LF
May 16, 200422 yr wow...Harris is hitting second....this is a big surprise. Jack is experimenting....I think were going to need a very good pitching performance....but I hope our offense can start scoring some runs...Castillo is hitting 6th?????what???/but we have the best 1-2 punch in the leauge... agon is out jeff is out choi is out
May 16, 200422 yr And this is the "creative" lineup that is going to get us going. Looks more like throwing in the towel.
May 16, 200422 yr yeah....it dosent look so good. but harris does good when he pinch hits...but now he is going to get more AB's....so late in the game he should get a good feel of the pitcher and do good but at the beg. he wont do that good...he also needs to take more pitches now that he isnt a pinch hitter... but why is luis second? what is jck thinking? he could change a lot of things but change luis or jp from 1st and 2nd? what is he thinking?
May 16, 200422 yr I can only see experimenting if you are trying to find a lineup that works. Today's lineup is nothing but giving a bunch of guys a day off. How creative is that? Putting Cabrera back in the 3rd spot where he struggles...what is McKeon thinking? Harris for Conine, Mordecai for Gonzalez, Castro back in there. Cordero is hitting .194 against righties???? I feel bad for Penny. He deserves better than this.
May 16, 200422 yr yeah...he is really being tough on penny by makiing a bad lineup...we are going to need a very good performance from him if we want to win...i think that jack is putting too much trust in penny in thinking that he can hold off the cardinals enough so that the marlins can win if they score a few runs...if you look at everything you will see that the stats say that the lineup is very bad.
May 16, 200422 yr Well, you can't say the McKeon's moves did anything to help us win today....except perhaps putting Mordecai in the lineup (perhaps) Look at what the subs managed today: Cordero 0-5, 2Ks, 7LOB Casto 0-4, 3Ks, 4LOB Mordecai, 1-3, 0K, 4LOB Harris 1-4, 1K, 1LOB So Jack's experiment: 2-16, 6Ks, 16LOB.....1 RBI from Mordy. We're fortunate we won. Penny only allowing 1 ER was what did it.

We're fortunate we won. Penny only allowing 1 ER was what did it. Ya good thing for our pitching
May 16, 200422 yr Cordero 0-5, 2Ks, 7LOB Casto 0-4, 3Ks, 4LOB Mordecai, 1-3, 0K, 4LOB Harris 1-4, 1K, 1LOB So Jack's experiment: 2-16, 6Ks, 16LOB.....1 RBI from Mordy. Cabrera 1-5, 3 LOB, 0 RBI I guess he bites too eh? IMO, other than Kastro's performance, the bench did OK To my point earlier....Cabrera has done better since he was moved out of the 3rd spot......so why put him back in there??????? None of McKeon's moves today contributed to the W, IMHO.
May 17, 200422 yr Luiy didn't do so bad in the 6th spot yeah...but he would still be better in the 2nd spot. He just did good bc. he is a good hitter so he worked through it...but we would be able to have better use of him in the 2nd spot.
