whoa!!, Mckeon shook up the line up??, what do you guys think about cabrera batting 6th, moving up already?? its amazing that one of our allstars is batting 8th, but that is probablly where i would put him too, unless i move things so that pudge doesnt bat third , but he has come on of late, what do you guys think of the revamed order?? and is it really necessary with the team playing so well?

It's always valuable to be able to have the luxary of a guy like A-Gon batting eight. I like what he did. Lowell is slumping, and Lee is getting hot. And Miguel has impressed me thus far, and I have no doubt he will not only perform, but be more comfortable in the 6 hole...

 

We'll see how it produces, because as of late the other one struggled...

What an insult to A-Gon! He should be batting 3rd no questions asked. And a hitter like him batting 8th is just inviting a pitcher to not give him anything to hit. My ideal lineup is:

 

Pierre

Luis

A-Gon

Lowell

Lee

Juan E

Pudge

Cabs

 

But Pudge has our management by the balls for some reason, so they won't move him down.

Holy stupid!!!!

 

I challenge all of you to name one manager who won't pitch around Lowell. Cabrera may show promise, but I don't think he's going to keep pitchers honest about pitching around Lowell. :thumbdown

 

Same goes for Pudge. If you've got a runner in scoring position with less that two out, why would you pitch to Pudge when you can get Lee to ground into a twin killing. :thumbdown

 

It wasn't broke, why is he trying to fix it? :banghead

lee is hot of late??? he batted 200 on the homestand, but your right, before that he was doing well, bats well on the road too

I think Jack must have the same feeling I do about D-Lee and The Natural tonight...

A-gon batting third seems right to me, especially when lowell bats fourth, A-gon would see a lot of pitches, would put up even bigger numbers than now

Exactly...I'm amazed hes continued to put up such numbers batting where he is now.

I bet Lee will go at least 0-2 tonite with RISP. Pierre and/or Luis get on, maybe even Pudge, and then Lee comes in to cool them off with his 32 ounce fan.

Lee homers twice in the series if he plays all 3 games. We don't ahve to face Seo do we? :angry

I'd rather have Pudge hitting 3rd. He is more of a threat, not statisticaly but he is still considered more threatning with the bat than A-Gon... Plus, it's quite a valuable luxary to have a guy like A-Gon at the bottom of a line-up...

no, no fillet, he likes to GIDP in those situations, he K's when no one is on haha

It wasn't broke, why is he trying to fix it?

Well, it was kind of broke. The Marlins just finished a 7-game homestand against two last-place teams and scored 19 runs-thats 2.7 runs a game, not going to get it done on the road and against tougher teams that are coming up. Mckeon knew he couldnt keep Cabrera hitting 8th, so hes probably trying to find the best spot for him for the long haul.

nope, we miss seo :thumbup ..........by the way, i picked up both dontrell and seo on my fantasy team before they put up there big numbers.....all cause i follow the marlins. heeh

i dont care about 'gut feelings'

 

why on earth is DLee ahead of Lowell?

 

freakin aye

 

*hopes to eat crow*

by the way.... where did you here this?

the lineup is on the front page of marlinbaseball.com

that's Admin's lineup

 

i dont think thats tonights lineup

 

it wont be up for 1/2 hour

I'm still learning the game of baseball as we all are, but maybe moving Lowell down in the order forces pitchers to go after everyone in front of those guys so when Lowell does come up nobody is on. Apply the same logic to A-Gon batting 8th in the order and it somewhat makes sense. I don't agree with it but just trying to rationalize the shuffling. I mean Jack knows more about baseball then we do...Right?

Lee homers twice in the series if he plays all 3 games. We don't ahve to face Seo do we

The only way Lee homers twice is if we are up by at least 6 runs when he does it. I've seen more clutch on a bicycle.

 

Mckeon knew he couldnt keep Cabrera hitting 8th, so hes probably trying to find the best spot for him for the long haul

 

I liked Boy Wonder in the 8 hole. If he gets up with anything less than two outs they are going to pitch to him. They sure won't do that with Bad a** Sea Bass hitting 8th.

That doesn't mean it's the real line-up... Honest mistake I guess...

 

AHHHYYYYYEEEEE!

Oh dear! The lineups on marlinsbaseball.com are not actually lineups! Actually, Im not sure what they are based on. No offesne to Admin, but those are never right.

the term "clutch" is just a made up word and doesn't exist

EVERYOBDY, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS. THAT IS NOT THE ACTUAL LINEUP.

Oh, for f***'s sake.

 

I took that hook, line and sinker.
