Good quotes by Melvin- "I think he made a fundamental mistake," said Melvin. "I didn’t hear our pitchers complaining when we lost a 1-0 game (to New York last week) or the 2-1 game in 10 innings in Chicago.
"They didn’t say the hitters weren’t doing their job. He’s hitting in front of one of the best hitters (Prince Fielder) in the game."

You need to go back to the bench, where you perform best.
Give me Blanco with the terrific D and empty bat (if Fontenot can’t hit much, I’d rather have Blanco’s stellar “D”).
