    Well, once you get past that first inning the dynamic basically shifts and it essentially comes down to who can you have on base before your best hitters. Like David said, I'm a fan of Rizzo and Bryant at2-3 because it gets them more AB's, and having a decent hitter at #9 ideally means more people on base for them. Russell, unfortunately, has been in a pretty long adjustment period funk, but once he ultimately settles in I think he'd be an excellent candidate to hit #1 to get even more AB's, because he'll hopefully be that valuable. Right now he's not that guy, and quite frankly, neither is Fowler. If we really want them to put the best OBP hitter who isn't Rizzo or Bryant in that spot, it's Coghlan.

    It's debatable who is actually suffering more in those scenarios. Though it's not like he had to close to do this; coming back to DC I was overjoyed to find that Ben's Chili Bowl had opened up a couple of spots at Nats Park. He's probably just a weird control freak.

    That was mostly a joke. They should keep hitting him 5th or 6th. Ehhhhhhhhhh. Most of his value over Fowler comes from his defense; they've both been pretty underwhelming or streaky offensively. Isn't the reasoning that the 9th spot effectively acts as the leadoff spot once they get past the 1st inning? I'd be fine moving him up in the lineup to try and get him some more AB from a developmental standpoint, but in terms of production it's not like it's moving up a guy who is currently lighting it up at the plate.

    Alright, now the closing of Hot Doug's finally makes sense.

    I vote Coghlan I'd keep Coghlan 4th. Castro Rizzo Bryant Coghlan Soler Montero Fowler Pitcher Russell I'd rather have the guy with a .350 OBP in there over the one with a .296 but that's just me. It really wasn't based on any kind of logic beyond sorcery and madness.

    I know. I think it's the place for him while he continues to develop. Again, that whole lineup was just a goofy gut-instinct idea. I doubt it would be something they stick with.

    I almost refuse to believe this is possible. Only 2 series sweeps in the last 100 years? Seriously? They've been bad, but that bad? Beating the same team at least 5-0 in a single season is pretty tough, plus they're seeing most of those teams at least 6 games.

    Total gut instinct-move, but I kinda want to keep Starlin up there instead of Fowler. Madness, I know.

    (I'm super late with this) Montero is alive! What a delightful win.

    The Cubs and Pirates are basically neck and neck in team OPS: 19th and 18th respectively, at .701 and .702.

    They're 5-6 since they swept the White Sox. And now on the brink of sweeping Detroit on the road. 27-11 since May 22. And the Cubs are on the brink of sweeping the Mets on the road; they're are 6-5 in the same span the Pirates went 5-6. It was a pretty lazy complaint. Their 21-5 run is still plenty fresh in my mind. I should have made the comment two weeks ago but they're still very likely better than us. "Very likely?" Come on, man; they're, what, 2 games up on the Cubs after today? 2.5? Why would you think they're so much better because they won so many of their games in a 21-5 block as opposed to more spread out over the season so far?

    Does he have his socks up?

    Actually, that looks pretty familiar.

    Perfect.

    I knew I was OK with this lineup for a reason.

    Anything is possible. ANYTHING.

    I like July Castro. I hope he sticks around.
