Steve Pearce (R) LF
Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
Justin Smoak (S) 1B
Yangervis Solarte (S) SS
Russell Martin (R) C
Kendrys Morales (S) DH
Kevin Pillar (R) CF
Randal Grichuk (R) RF
Devon Travis (R) 2B

Solarte getting a look at short, different lineup with a lefty, Travis moved down to 9th.

Nice to see Gibbons adjusting with the line up Travis and Grichuk have been miserable early on at the plate.

Not often you get a series facing nothing but left-handed starting pitching. Given that we have only one orthodox lefty position player, that's not a bad thing.

Might have to consider changing my allegiances, really. Four left-handed starters, and the majority of the Rangers order hits from the left side? These are my people. My backwards, backwards people.

Couldn't be happier that the east coast has decided to get rid of that winter thing. I don't even own a proper coat, you poor bastards.

Got myself a coat. Still, a fish out of water out here.

Not a good start for Travis this season.

I like that Gibby is willing to shuffle the lineup more. The team has a bit of Maddon Rays feel to it so far.

Morales swings at ball one and ball 4. fly ball and rbi. but he still sucks. that movement and swing though.. uuuuuuuuuuugly. hate it.
