Xavier Nady again? Does Davey Johnson WANT to lose games???

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #26:** June 01, 2012, 03:47:36 PM »

Anyone want to tell him I just made up a lineup off the top of my head?

Fan037 · « **Reply #27:** June 01, 2012, 03:48:24 PM »

I just heard officially on the news that Michael Morse has been re-instated.

RHP Stephen Strasburg

Of all of the players available, this is one of the worst lineups Johnson could have put together.

When he says something, does it actually mean anything or does he just not remember?

I don't even know what you're talking about.

Who's leading off? Who's playing LF?

Where is Steve Lombardozzi and why the hell is he using Xavier Nady in place of him?

I thought Davey was gonna go with the Lombo/Harper/Morse outfield. Why the hell is Nady out there?

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #34:** June 01, 2012, 04:03:57 PM »

So pumped for Morse. I hope Lombo is out of the lineup for rest or some crap. I don't want to see this Nady crap every other day.

Repeat - Where is he? He's our hitting machine.

Of course Espinosa is leading off. He destroys LHP. Confused why there is any complaint about that.

I forgot Minor was left-handed. But that doesn't mean Espi should lead off and you should take one of your best hitters out of the lineup for a guy batting below the Mendoza line.

Lombo is hitting below .200 against LHP (albeit small sample size).

Guess Johnson feels Nady will hit Minor better.

PC · « **Reply #40:** June 01, 2012, 04:14:43 PM »

Looking at Xavier Nady in the lineup shows us how HUGE the Jayson Werth injury is.

Gives him a credible bench bat, would be one reason. Also, really need to get Nady going if that is even possible. Without Tracy got to get more out of Nady.

madj55 · « **Reply #42:** June 01, 2012, 04:18:14 PM »

I'm okay with this lineup, Morse's presence alone makes this team so much better and will probably make me forget Nady is starting.

I would much rather get Lombo going against LHP than to sit him and have Nady play.

I suppose it's not as bad when you actually look at it. I was mostly riled up because my first thought was that now that Morse was back DJ was gonna have Lombo riding the bench again. And I trust Lombo as a late inning pinch hitter over Nady or Bernie.

4:15 p.m. News: Tarp is off the field and they are planning to play baseball tonite. Obviously this could change.

You need to use the entire roster, it's a long season. If you ride the same starting lineup game after game players break down, or simply wear down and can't perform at peak levels.

I'm guessing a delay

Baseball is Life · « **Reply #48:** June 01, 2012, 04:32:43 PM »

The time-honored strategy is to go to a nearby bar and wait out the delay. As soon as the tarp is rolled off the field, you head on over. Closest bars are in Barrack's Row. This is the strategy for me tonight since I suspect a late start, maybe 8:30 or 9.
