i cant believe we are batting the pitcher 8 with dillion three. This is just stupid.
The only thing that is stupid is that Gross is still on the roster after 2 seasons. Dillon > Gross in both fielding and batting

 

There is no doubt that Dillon can hit and Gross is no CF'er in my book, but Gabe is still a better OF'er than Dillon by a good margin

Its not really dumb... They are trying to keep the lineup from fluctuating... Dillons in for Braun, who bats 3rd...

how does line-up continuity help production? I argue for less than the drawback of batting the pitcher 8. But i make this argument with braun, fielder or even pujois batting third.

no matter what the lineup is, JJ is going to hit in front of the pitcher, if all starters are in the lineup.. right now the only guy you could argue should hit in front of the pitcher aside from him is Gross or Counsell.

This is all carry-over from the Fielder - Pujols beaning exchange...

 

All off-season, Yost stewed and stewed to the point where he had to do the P batting 8th thing...

 

...all leading to tonight's game so Bush could break the LOB record.

Sheesh, not only can't we move them in the field because of continuinty, we can't even move them around in a non-physical entity like a lineup? Hart is going to go up to the plate and be lost because he's batting 3rd with Braun out and can't figure out what's going on?

 

I'd like to think that our players are professional enough where moving them in the lineup won't turn their 2 for 5 day into an 0 for 4 day.
