I hate seeing Aramis batting 5th.

it's pretty bonehead to do that just to do the r, l, r thing. If anything he should be batting 3rd.

I think Aramis batting 5th makes sense with Bradley in the lineup because of how much Bradley gets on base. Batting him 5th behind Hoffpauir makes less sense.

Right, it makes plenty of sense when Bradley's playing. Aramis excels with runners on base and he's going to get those chances a ton with Bradley in front of him. Lou just wants the lefty-righty balance so that's why he has Hoff in between them.

[Giff]

Hopefully the only reason Milt is still out is the weather. Not exactly ideal conditions to stay loose.

Serve your suspension dumb ass.

Kap said that Lou said with the wet conditions, wanted to keep Milton out another day.
