Had all the right starters minus Neal. Would not have come up with that batting order with 10 tries.

What a Johnson lineup.

Did t have the order but I def Thought Kling, Neal and Jones would start

Nippolt makes sense because no one has emerged and Johnson loves left handed bats.

Jobert in LF isn’t a shock but I couldn’t have guessed who would be out there yesterday.

Love the crazy out in left field lineup! Neal is the best overall for catcher. love Jay making the right and sometimes hard call

Not sure I like Jobert in the 2 hole but the rest is beautiful

Jobert batting 2nd is certainly a decision.


Was not expecting that

I’ve said it before, but any combination of Crews, White, and Morgan, in a row, is going to be rough on pitchers.

I would have figured Morgan and Jobert would be flipped. Pretty surprised Jobert is hitting 2nd.

Not quite what I was expecting, but if Jay's good with it, I'm good with it. Let's geaux!

5 new starters. 6 counting pitcher.

7 if you count Jobert being in LF instead of RF or DH.

Crews, Morgan, Thompson only three with no change.

Then you bookend them with Jobert and Jones and it’s going to be a rough day at the office for any pitcher.

Agreed feel like Jobert/Tre swapping would make most sense and still allow alternate righty/lefty bats

I’m surprised Morgan isn’t either 1-2 but I can see what he is trying to do with the way Jones has been hitting:

Just glad crews isn’t frickin leading off

Jay don't play around
You earn your spot these days
Nothing is given

Guidry gonna start ramping up to pitch likely due to Taylor's injury
Probably see him during some midweek games since it doesn't appear he will play much on the infield this season
