Finally Joe moves Kyle out of the lead off spot.

Yeah like three days after he was pissy about people actually suggesting that he actually do that .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Makes me think someone in the front office made the decision for Joe. Thank God.

Game has been postponed.

If it's not a DH tomorrow then that helps with the #5 starter because they can skip it next time through. I'd think they would send Butler back down in that case for Heyward and then bring Pena back until the #5 starter is needed again.

Murph just said today that the front office makes the lineups for Joe. That's the first time I ever heard that.

Love Murph, been listening to him for like 20 years. But some of the shit he says is just plain stupid. I got up early and put his show on today and he bitching about Baez's play yesterday where Schrwb dropped the ball was plain ignorant. Even a caller who played ball in college called out murph that baez actually did the right thing in the conditions he was playing in.

I don't believe that for 1 second . I don't think any manager would ever agree to that .

yeah i don't believe that as well.

Maybe a first year manager might be a part of something like that....but not a guy like Maddon

Jake closing in on 100 pitches already, through 5 innings. Looks like we will burn at least 3 innings with the bullpen, if not more.

Damn this defense is awful. Thankfully, Berns and Goff already told me that we won't repeat, so I won't worry about it.

Happ has to play everyday, it's time to move Baez or Schwarber.

Baez to Tampa for a starting pitcher is just so damn easy. Do it already.

Yeah, Baez is the piece right now. I really don't think you can move Schwarber right now. You wouldn't get a whole lot for him. You have to wait for him to return to form, even a little, and if he doesn't, you concede that you missed your chance.

Floro gave up 7 hits but I think 4 of those were of the Texas League variety. He wasn't pretty,but I'd take another look at him before thinking he sucks.

Hairston Gland Slam? Scott Hairston? Jerry Hairston Jr. Either one brings shivers.

You think you are going to get the kind of pitching that you want to see starting in the playoffs for Baez?

A team that is looking to sell off assets this early would probably rather have a guy in the minors. Baez is the kind of guy you move in the off season.
