May 21, 200422 yr Glad to see is swingin the sticks well. Only starters w/out a hit: Easley and Beckett. Good to see. Lowell can't carry us every game though. Solid outing by Beckett. Way to come back from the last outing.
May 21, 200422 yr I am kicking my heels and doing cart wheels! I sure would of loved to be a fly on the wall when the old man had a close door meeting with the players. He sure sparked some serious fire under their asses because they were cooking tonight.
May 21, 200422 yr Author question: keep Castillo at leadoff or use this one game as a spark, and move him back to #2
May 21, 200422 yr question: keep Castillo at leadoff or use this one game as a spark, and move him back to #2 Not much difference between the two. JP has more speed (by a millisecond) and bunts better. Luiy is more patient at the plate.

But Pierre, I think, is faster from 1st to 2nd.
May 21, 200422 yr question: keep Castillo at leadoff or use this one game as a spark, and move him back to #2 Pierre executed the hit and run perfectly in the 1st. As well as Pierre is swinging the bat....I'd like to see him continue to have chances to move Castillo around. When I saw the lineup before the game I was thinking that perhaps Easley should be hitting 2nd, with Pierre leadoff, and Castillo 6th.....but also recognized switching Pierre and Castillo was a pretty good option as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see Jack keep it this way for a few games. Give credit to Jack....he moves paid dividends tonight. Also, liked that he switched Mike and Cabs.....and I hope this switch sticks this time. Any predictions on how long Gonzalez will sit out? I'm going with one more game as we'll need the offense tomorrow with Oliver pitching.
