vs
Haren: 0-0, ...
Why the hell is Kendall in the third spot? He's struggled to begin the season and he doesn't have the power to bat there in the first place. He's a 1 or 2 hitter, a table setter...
And why is Kielty batting before Ruby? How idiotic.
Is Durazo playing first base? He must be because there's 4 outfielders in the lineup unless Swisher is playing first...Kendall is a 2 hitter...Kotsay is a leadoff. Durazo had the most RBIs (67) last year out of the 6 spot in MLB
Macho Man (on Family Guy): "I must be in Quahog, 'cause all I see is a bunch of hicks!"
And I understand Durazo being productive but Kielty batting before him?? That just doesn't sit well with me. It's a new season and all but Kielty hasn't impressed me up to this point. Has he given up switch hitting?
So whats up with the rivalry in the making? I saw what transpired yesterday and now today with all the hit batsmen. Cabrera really had to do that on purpose yesterday.
