1. Erik Gonzalez (R) SS

2. Adam Frazier (L) LF

3. Kevin Newman (R) 2B

4. Josh Bell (S) 1B

5. Bryan Reynolds (S) DH

6. Gregory Polanco (L) RF

7. JT Riddle (L) 3B

8. Jacob Stallings (R) C

9. Jason Martin (L) CF

Derek Holland (L) SP

Hey, where is Dyson? ;D ;D Frazier in LF? Reynolds at DH? I switch those to around. Polanco in RF? Where is Tucker? He needs more evaluation. Martin in CF? Okay with that he too needs evaluation.

I was wondering if Frazier would be getting some OF time now that they seem to like Newman at 2B and Gonzalez at SS.

But the Dyson trade appeared to open the door for Tucker to play CF every day. So of course he isn't playing and Martin is in CF. McShelton strikes again.

If Holland has a good start, BC better move him.

Well, it wasn't very exciting watching Dyson drag his bat back to the dugout, either. You said you want to see better players. All Martin has to do is hit .158 and you have your wish. So if he goes 1 for 6 tonight, and the Pirates win, I expect you to vote Cherington for SOG.

I kind of expect that he will be moved.

It's that time of the season when they honor Jackie Robinson by confusing the fans with everyone wearing identical numbers and no names on backs.

They could just as easily have everyone wear a "42" patch on their sleeve and let the fans watch the game without wondering who's who.

So far the 2nd inning is my favorite. That was the inning when the Brewers didn't score.

I don't think I can express just how much I despise Ryan Braun, more than any other major league player I've known. I wish nothing but the worst for him professionally.

Holland's 7.62 ERA should make him an attractive trade candidate. And he managed to cram 5 innings into his 100 pitches.
