June 10, 200521 yr This line-up from here on out. Pierre CF Castillo 2B Cabrera LF Delgado 1B Lowell 3B LoDuca C Encarnacion RF Gonzalez SS Burnett SP Jack just mentioned it on "Marlins on Deck". The lineup will stay the same from here on out and it's up to them to turn it on. No more shuffling the lineup according to Jack.
June 10, 200521 yr good the less blame on him about the hitting, the better let the players fight it out and not whine like babies if they dont succeed and then blame it on him
June 10, 200521 yr Smart move. Gives the players less to whine about. Now its up to them. But I think if this doesn't work, he should personally walk them out to the batters box, holding their hand, and then give them a few encouraging words, and tell them that he won't be far if they should need anything. Maybe even add a kiss on the cheek, depending on the mood of the moment.
June 10, 200521 yr I agree whole heartedly. Its time for the guys to put up or shut up. No complaining about what my role is? I can't get comfortable hitting 2nd, 6th whatever? Time to git R done or go home!
June 10, 200521 yr thank you lord.. ive been asking for the original lineup for a while now. Just need Niner in the 7 spot and I'll be happy
June 10, 200521 yr He might have just saved his job Lots of smiles in the dugout pre-game today. Could there have been some kind of reconciliation?

June 10, 200521 yr thank you lord.. ive been asking for the original lineup for a while now. Just need Niner in the 7 spot and I'll be happy 804101[/snapback] I'm with you.
June 11, 200521 yr Smart move. It is up to some of those pussies to hit the ball and stop crying. I wish we'd see if the A's would trade Zito and send Enc to the Yanks for something to get him. Conine will be better over the long haul than Enc, IMO.
June 11, 200521 yr smart move, and Encarnacion will be in the line up for the entire year IMO 5-3 again today
June 11, 200521 yr I liked what this batting order produced today. It reminds me of... the beginning of the season.
June 11, 200521 yr He should stay with this lineup, thats the lineup that will get out of the slump and you know what they are capable of when they do.
June 11, 200521 yr I liked what this batting order produced today. It reminds me of... the beginning of the season. 805200[/snapback] It worked on opening day, so why not once again as the team starts a new winning streak! Oh wait, Leiter is pitching tomorrow. Perhaps the streak will start on Monday.
June 11, 200521 yr The way it should be. If we are going to live with this lineup, then we are going to die by it as well.
June 11, 200521 yr Let's try to have faith in Leiter. I am sure he will come around too. I hope that he will tomorrow. That would be a great follow up to tonight if he can keep Texas from putting a lot of runs on the boards.

June 11, 200521 yr This should be the lineup for the rest of the year except for the occasional start for Treanor or Easly. Let's keep it going tomorrow. :super
