I would have rather seen Reyes in the starting lineup and Melky off the bench as a PH.

Me too, especially vs. LHSP.

Marte is out of the lineup--reportedly because of a migraine. Shuck will take his place in center.

Melky bats 2nd, Shuck 7th.

This is not great.

Cannot believe Marte not in lineup. He will never be the player who they expected him to become.

FFs is right. I'm just tuning in.

I know Nutting is smiling all the way to the bank with this 25 man, but NH should be in a corner hiding his head in shame to have 2 players in our opening day lineup who aren't even ML caliber. these are zero war players or worse.

Who could have guessed Chisenhall would be on the DL for weeks? Never saw that one coming! That guys like Ripkin Jr.

Reyes should be starting all day long over Melky.

No Marte has all ready bitten them on the butt. Marte would have caught that "double" from Votto. The ball landed on the warning track and Shuck didn't even make a play on it in the air.

I get so frustrated with Marte. I heard during ST that when they had the exit interview with Marte last September they told him he could be one of the best players on the field each night. We all get sick with the flu, headaches, allergies etc , but I cannot buy a migraine on opening day. Sorry Starling!

He is having a tough game so far.
