Nice lineup Ned. What a **** joke.
WTF?
A) Why is Mench even in the lineup AT ALL against a RHP
B) Why do you hit him 3rd? That's absurd
Anyway, I think it is curious that Hardy is out of the lineup again.
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would guess that both Hardy and Estrada are being disciplined (quietly) for their lack of hustle the other day. Hardy should have been busting it around first and should have been able to slide into second base when the Reds infielder dropped that routine fly ball.
So if that is why Hardy is out of the lineup, fine.
But why is Hart out of the lineup? And why is Braun out of the lineup? I understand that Braun could use a day off here and there, but you do NOT give him a day off when you already have Hart, Hardy, and Estrada out of the lineup.
We're too obsessed with giving players a day off. There are a number of big time MLB players that play basically every game of the season unless they are injured. Braun is a young healthy guy. He doesn't NEED a day off here. Perhaps it is beneficial to give him a day off at some point. But not today.
Wow.
Is this just a white flag type lineup?
Absolutely terrible.
