Yes, and Stanton doesn't get enough at bats above batting sixth to make a statement like that. Its statistically inconclusive at this point.

 

He had enough ABs. They even tried moving him back there and if I remember he began struggling again.

 

He hit fifth last night and launch a home run, yes?

Which means nothing. He has to be consistent there.

I will say that the reason the majority of Stanton's HR's are solo is because he often gets garbage to hit with men on base.

 

I'm not saying they should do it as I'm fine with the current lineup (as long as Gaby and Dobbs are hitting at this rate), but I bet if you put Stanton 4th and protect him with Gaby 5th, he'd look a lot better with .RISP.

 

 

Yes, having John Buck hit behind you doesn't help

I say we can all agree on this statement (Erick's).

And Buck does strike out a bit often.

Damn, Buck just missed that

Speaking of Buck, he had a good AB there.

Did a fan want Nyjer to throw him the ball or did he act like he was going to throw it at him just now?

 

I'm in the fish tank I'm in the 1st row heckling him, he has been throwing a fit and no no one wants a ball from him.

Why not try the opening day line-up once everyone's back and healthy? (Save Murphy of course and keep Infante down in the line-up)

 

...then again, who would you bat second?

 

Hmm...

Coghlan Infante Hanley Stanton Gaby LoMo Dobbs/Buck Buck/Helms Pitcher?

I wish one of those balls would drop sometime

I knew these replays would be coming

Oh my god that commercial was amazing.

You're kidding right?

Really?

Oh... My... God...

 

That didn't just happen...

f*** sake a home run by Morgan

This is why he is Vol-Suck

Morgan's getting hit tonight. Next AB.

My rays face both of these teams this year, scouting the future enemy. GO FISH!

Well, LoMo shouldn't hit sixth.

Think he had a flashback of what Gaby did as he rounded first?

WHAT A CATCH!

Damn Logan nice!

That just ruined this whole game for me. I don't care if they win or lose now.

 

Edit: WHAT A CATCH!

LOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hello, Highlight reel!!!!

HOLY CRAP! Nice, Logan.

WOW!! Hope he's OK.
