I hope TLR leaves Iz2 in and puts the pitcher in Kennedy's spot

Then moves Miles over to 2nd

Tony did the same thing with Mini Me last week

he started him at SS, then in the late innings moved him to 2nd

in the post game he said Mini Me was playing out of position at SS, yet no one asked him why he was starting him there in the first place.

how can the STL media let that slide?

Perez will be in the bullpen. Likely will be Franklin though. Bummer.

showing a bunt

really should be considered a “swing”. Just because you pull it back doesn’t mean that the bat didn’t cross the plane of the plate while the ball was in the air…

problem is

holes, ankiel, duncan, and your choice of kennedy, iz2, larue. just can’t win major league games with that kind of line-up.

The scary part is

you can expect our offense to be this bad for the next few weeks or so. And it’s doubtful our pitching will be able to keep it to 2 or 3 runs a night against the Sox and Tigers…
