OK, This is my rant for tonight: Why is DeRo batting 8th?

Lou’s excuse for not batting him #2 is that he is good at driving in runs. Dome isn’t getting on base, so who is DeRo going to drive in?

Let Dome bat 8th if he’s just going to play for his glove.

but why does Lou say the opposite?

He may actually be trying to get Dome some better pitches as well

For the record I would like to se DeRo bat second as well.

Lou is managing the team with the best record in MLB....

the offense is at or near the top of just about every offensive catagory…I trust him.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Sorry, I'm just sick of seeing him screw DeRo every chance he gets.

I wish DeRo would complain once in a while, just so that Lou would stop treating him like a dog.

What the hell are you talking about? Screw DeRo? Treating him like a dog?

Why does he always have to move?

Why not have utility players that, you know, are utile. Starters should have a set position. He was promised 2B, and that promise didn’t last 3 weeks.

DeRo has said that he doesn’t like playing OF. Why was he playing OF when Sori was hurt and Murton was anchoring the bench? Why not just play him at 2B and let him be a productive 2B?

dunno if I'd say it was to

screw him. DeRosa is just that guy where, well, he’s gotta go somewhere. Lou knows he can put him almost anywhere.

Dood plays MLB baseball for the best team in the MLB. I don’t think he thinks he’s getting screwed.
