[tzill]

Lineup:

CF Rowand
3B Tejada
SS Fontenot
C Posey
1B Huff
RF Schierholtz
LF Ross
2B Burriss
P Vogelsong

The Bat sits, Huff dropped to the 5 hole, Franchez sits. Boch clearly hoping to shake things up.

These are the dark days....

I'd still keep the nada at the bottom of the lineup. Holy shit, that is not the 1-2-3 I envisioned at the beginning of the year.

 

[sfsportsfan]

my jaw dropped @ font batting third

 

[calsnowskier]

I think the pig just flew over the storm in hell...

 

[Heathbar012]

Wow. There is nothing that can be said about that line-up that hasn't already been said. Rep for you, cal.

 

[SFGRTB]

Huff's gotta be thinking "Wait, am I back in Tampa?"

 

[msgkings322]

Huff's gotta be thinking "Wait, am I back in Tampa?"

And Fontenot is thinking: "Wait. What? How did I get here?"

 

[calsnowskier]

Seriously, has Fonte EVER hit #3 or #4? Even going back to little league?

That is embarrassing..

(I don't necessarily disagree with it, mind you, but it is still embarrassing)

And Fontenot is thinking: "Wait. What? How did I get here?"

lol!

desperate times call for desp.. Fontenot hitting third.

That said, I have a good feeling about tonight's game.

Maybe, if any lineup tests Tito's crazy ass "only speed matters, even if you don't have any brains, or arms, or even a pulse as long as you're fast," theory about lineup construction then this is it...well obviously Ford would be in also, but we have enough guys in the lineup that'll go up there and flail wildly already.

 

[SFAnthem]

akin to moving Rowand up to the leadoff spot 2 years ago. Changing the lineup could have a shock-the-system effect and get these guys to reboot their approach at the plate.

 

[SFAnthem]

so no one else likes the tweaked lineup?

anyone?

 

[Heathbar012]

anyone?

Hahaha. Depends on your definition of "like." I think it's appropriate considering the injuries, offense/defense during the last seven games and fact that Vogelsong is on the hill. Usually, you probably want to put your best line-up out there with your worst pitcher on the hill, but I think Voges likes the challenge, and some of these guys really need a day off.

 

[Heathbar012]

I don't expect this crew to "like" things that are "appropriate."

 

[gp956]

Damn Voglesong.... I'd take my chances standing in there today against you....add a couple of points to my career .188 BA.

 

[Heathbar012]

Shit. I got busy with work, and now the game is over. 3-0 against this Giants' line-up? Sorry, Anthem. I cannot be the goldfish to your Jerry Maguire... and I'm certain you wouldn't want me to be Renee Zellweger's character.
