Nats lineup posted. No Harper.

Bernadina is playing LF and batting 7th.

Not a lot of pop in this lineup. Should be interesting to see if they can keep the momentum built up from last series.

Someone else besides Suzuki should be batting 8th.

I would rather Kobernus than Bernadina. I get he's a lefty but he isn't going to make you pay in the late innings. Kobernus needs a start.

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:10:37 am »

Kobernus is primarily a second baseman, isn't he?

The only problem with this is that Kobernus/Moore would have to play RF...of course I don't think either of those guys could be worse than Delmon Young out there

Kobernus is really fast and Tyler Moore actually looks competent out there. I like Tyler Moore playing as much as possible so he can get in rhythm. We need to get that bat going.

Davey said Harper might DH

Until this season, yes. This year they mostly have played him in LF and CF. When he was with the Tigers in spring training, they also played him mostly in outfield.

I would be fine giving him these next four days off the field defensively. Maybe pinch hit him in DC and then in Baltimore DH him. Four days out of the field could help him out. That also opens OF at bats for Moore and Kobernus.

Did you see TMo drop that ball against Philly? And LF is the easiest OF position to play, I say we keep him there. He also doesn't charge the ball really well and you can make up for that in LF cause you don't need the strongest arm over there but in RF that could be a problem.

Are we going to be subjected to the joint broadcasting team again?

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2013, 12:30:05 pm »

Turned on MASN just in time to see the end of the repeat broadcast of last night's walk-off loss for the Ori-holes. Excellent

I hate the Orioles more than any team on the planet. I hope they all get beaned in the head and fall down and break their legs on the way to first base. And then that broken bone gets infected and they have to have their tiny, STD-ridden penises amputated.

I hope not. It was really awkward although I did enjoy FP and Palmer's random side conversations.

Damn, we have the blO's broadcasters too. Sucks. (And no Jim Palmer - it's Jim Hunter and Mike Bordick.)

Oh look, Suzuki back in the 8 hole. Worked before, right Davey?

Should be Suzuki batting second and Lombo eighth.

Slateman · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2013, 01:05:53 pm »

Game. Game, series, season. Why? Because Davey freaking Johnson can't do a lineup.

Optics · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2013, 01:07:07 pm »

Zuk should bat 6th with Moore and Berny at 7 and 8.

Slateman · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2013, 01:08:39 pm »

I hate them.
