Maybe something in the alleys with room to run. Like having him in LF in that big OF.

That was pretty much my line of thinking. Plus, he's going to hit a ball into the LCF gap for a triple.

Most of our guys haven't faced Sanchez a lot. Lineup is a combined 4 for 17 (.235). Nelson Cruz has a 3 RBI home run to his credit against him.

That looks a lot like a ST lineup.

A watered-down Sunday lineup?

Wait...you're the optimistic one!  You're supposed to tell us how we still have a chance at winning 160 games!

For all the love the Lough, Lombardozzi signings got, and all the love some people here give Flaherty, a lot of people cringing at this lineup.

Yea, but all in the same game?

Having Lough and Flaherty in the lineup is one thing. Adding Lombo, Clevenger and Schoop to those is quite another. I'm ok with having one or two guys in the lineup for the defense but it's a problem when only four guys can really hit.

Clevenger hit like 500 in the spring.  Maybe he's ready to "Wally Pip" Matty W?

Split squad line-up today in Detroit. Here comes our first losing streak of 2014.

That began last night. We're now going for 3 (channeling my inner Jim Hunter).

[Matt_P]

I am including Markakis and Cruz even though neither of the two are great against righties. I suppose Clevenger could do well. And if he doesn't then we can find a similar prospect on someones AA roster.

Money in Vegas right now is going to the O's...They were +155 an hour ago, now +150. 

 

Weird.

Don't think it's too much to get concerned about, but Hardy's missed games with back spasms throughout his career. Including 2 games last year.
