May 22, 200719 yr abercrombie hermida ramirez cabrera willingham boone uggla olivo olsen why can't we have a lineup that makes sense for once?
May 22, 200719 yr We need Reggie to set the table tonite. Lookin forward to this game. can't help it. it just makes me laugh :confused
May 22, 200719 yr What is the fixation with having Reggie leading off? Is it his speed? He had a couple of good days leading off two series ago in Pittsburgh? Fredi wants to spike the sale of Maalox in South Florida? It definitely isn't his plate discipline, eye or ability to hit in general.
May 22, 200719 yr We need Reggie to set the table tonite. Lookin forward to this game. can't help it. it just makes me laugh :confused :| Our offense usually follows suit with the lead off man. As he goes so does the team. I'm not a Reggie fanatic but if he's in the lineup than Im rooting for him. Olsen vs the Phillies is always interesting.
May 22, 200719 yr I liked somebody's, I don't remember who, point of batting Boone behind Olivo. Basically if Olivo bats 8th, he's going to get breaking ball after breaking ball out of the zone and strike out everytime. With Boone behind him, he'll get more fastball and pitches he can hit.

GO FISH!
May 22, 200719 yr I'm happy for reggie that he had a few good games but come on. I swear the underlying cause to this is to have olivo and reggie as far away as possible from one another in the lineup.. because with the way Boone has been swinging this year, there is no reason for those two to get more ABs than him. I think with the addition of Hermida back in this lineup, it doesnt make much sense now to abandon Hanley from the leadoff spot, one because we have no real other optionis and two because Jeremy looks like he can be a very nice run producer and a 1-5 of Hanley, Uggla, Cabs, Willy, Hammer would be very solid and even more solid when Jake gets back. And I can't stress enough how mind-boggling it is that we are taking ABs away from one of the more consistent hitters we've had this year (boone). Keep getting him as many ABs as possible while hes hitting and if we're set on hanley at 3rd, why not get his stick at the top of the lineup while Jake is hurting?
