That lineup

That lineup

It might be the weakest of the year, certainly top 5 weakest. And we've had weak lineups.

i'm still trying to figure out why Arencibia is batting 3rd, almost turned off my TV.

I could care less if Lind isn't on this team next year.

Never been a real fan of his. To be honest I think he's been a disappointment. That and he can't hit lefties to save his life.

Well, why not? Aside from Lawrie hitting .277 as I write this, everyone else in today's lineup is hitting .240 or less.

LOL. Sierra is such an adventure out there.

for all the talk about murphy or walton getting canned, whoever is in charge of learning these kids how to run the damn bases needs to be seriously evaluated. this team probably averages at least 1 baserunning mistake per game

The answer is not a simple one because while counting up miscues is easy -- the Blue Jays ranked third in the majors with 98 outs on unforced errors on the basepaths (caught stealing, trying to take an extra base, double plays on balls in the air, pickoffs) heading into Saturday's play, behind only San Diego's 106 and Tampa Bay's 102 -- while quantifying the subtle benefits of their style of play such as rushed throws by defenders, holes in the infield opened up by motion, additional stress on pitchers is not.

I just don't picture Arencibia as a typical 3rd hitter and I dislike all aspects of his game except throwing out base runners.

Hech goes yard, 3-0 !

Edit: 5-0 final. Good game considering the lineup, they should close the dome just for Sierra though

[Kaizen]

Vizquel is now only 1 hit behind Babe Ruth.
