So....
why are two of the Mets’ three worst hitters batting #1 and #2? This lineup would score more runs in reverse.
by Eric Simon on Jun 29, 2009 6:12 PM EDT reply actions 1 recs
I have no idea why Castillo doesn't always lead off
And seriously, at this point, Brian Schneider should bat 5th or 6th. It’s that bad that he’s a rock in the lineup.
Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.

From Adam Rubin
“Reyes is batting leadoff, which Manuel joked was partly because he liked that name atop the order.”

Great that he thinks it's funny
Just because we have some injuries don’t mean we should quit.
Perhaps if you want management to go out and get you some players, you should prove to them that you know how to manage them.

Slow down there Eric
Jerry’s only allowed to make one or two corrections a month. David Wright is batting in the top half of the order. That happened in June right? Lets wait until July before we expect him to realize Argenis Reyes sucks. ::facepalm::

Jerry is stupidly sticking with his Cora leadoff against righties, Luis against lefties.
even though cora is not even playing tonight, Jerry just remembers positions.

i thought nieve was a ground ball pitcher
if he is why not put evans in LF.and why is a-ray leading off

this is bad
but I am not really sure its any worse than the others. At this point its like trying to find the best deck chair on the Titanic. Wait till the make up game against the Pirates when Wright will be given a day off.

if the Mets give him time, Murphy could be an at least decent defender at a few positions (first, left, second).

probably true
but i also hope we don’t ruin him by letting Jerry fuck around. Again, he’s their 20 year old top prospect, who is just that – a prospect. He has to be playing every day, in a place where he can be both challenged but succeed. This whole playing 4 days a week barely even necessary if he’s going to hit like that – better for everyone if he goes down.
