"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
What is Lou smoking?
DeRo is red-hot. Why drop him to 8th where he’ll see nothing but junk?
As a matter of fact, why change the lineup at all? They scored 11 runs in their last game…
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
he's done very well
in the 8 spot, actually.
’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)

Wouldn't it be better if he does well in the 6th spot?
Especially considering that Dome and Soto have gone a bit cold recently.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
well
if DeRo is getting on base when they’re not, it means he’s got a better shot of being on base when Sori comes up, no?

It also means that your hottest (or second hottest) hitter is getting the fewest PAs.

He mentioned in the pregame...
...that he messed around with the order based on “the numbers.” Not sure which numbers, specifically, he was looking at.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Isn't he like 0 forever against Looper?

He was arguably the best starter on the staff last year.
And his ERA this year is inflated due to his rough beginning on the year; since he’s been very good.
