I'll make a bold call.... baring injury or the Sox pitching "around" Josh today.... He's going to hit for the cycle. Hardest part is taken care of already.

Holy crap ... just turned in remembering it was a day game ... what happened in the top of the first?

Kinsler walk & SB, Andrus bunt single, Hamilton triple to the DEEPEST part of the park, Beltre sac fly, Cruz & Young K

What the hell is going on with Harry. You can't let them respond like that.

So Wash is going to keep MY in the lineup no matter what. Is there anyway to get Murph, Gentry, and MY in the same lineup? Probably not. MY will always be in there vs a lefty, with Gentry and Murph platooning based on who is hottest I guess. And against righties, right now you have to go with Murph. Just wish there was a way to get Gentry on the field more.

There is but Wash's ego and stubbornness won't let him put the best lineup on the field.

Rough 1st innings. Its been his M.O. this year.

That would leave no outfielders on the bench. (w/o giving up the DH)

...and with the way the Rangers outfielders get hurt, I shiver at the thought.

No but why would you want to keep Young on the field at this point?

Murphy should be the DH at this point, at least against RHPs, and Gentry should be in CF until he proves he can't do better than a .600 OPS vs RHPs which he has thus far

If you have to, you can put Olt out in RF, or Moreland

Yet he apparently doesn't mind playing both his catchers (one as DH) in the same lineup.

But we all know Wash is going to keep MY in the lineup either in the field or DH no matter what. That's what I'm saying. Unless he's willing to bench MY for a game here and there, Gentry and Murph will never see the same lineup. And that's a shame.

And there in lies the problem, Wash is too damn stubborn to put the optimal lineup out there day in and day out, b/c of his slavish devotion to the impotent bat of Young

under the assumption that Moreland was at 1b.

Just leaves Olt.... and I think he's had less time in the OF than at 1b.

You know its possible to move Moreland to RF from 1B and Olt to 1B as well?

Point is, they have an emergency OFer there, 2 in fact, there are options

They can't be any worse than CHOOSING to START Young at SS, 2B, 3B, or 1B
