Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3126343, member: 2504"] Coaches often talk like this, but they often won't make too many moves. Still, the lineup hasn't been totally set this season, so a couple moves would not surprise me. From the Mike Crispino interview, Penders said something about the poor at bats out of the D.H. spot, so it would not be a surprise to see Langer out of the lineup tomorrow. In addition to Pat Winkel's strikeouts, he had problems with balls getting by him today for wild pitches, and Penders mentioned that in the interviews, saying they are balls a catcher has to stop. Gozzo had the homer today, so it would not be a surprise to see him on the field tomorrow. Christian Fedko's offensively is one of the best players on the team this season, so he will be in the lineup tomorrow. I expect that he will stay at 2B, but it's always possible that he may be the D.H. tomorrow. I would think the rest of the regular lineup will be on the field tomorrow. Penders singled out Jeff Kersten as one of the guys who he thought really competed today, but the two botched plays right at the beginning of the game plus the balls that went to the backstop really helped to undermined him today. Getting out of the first inning with no runs on the scoreboard due to the bad fielding puts a different tone to the game right off. Johnson and Santos also got positive notices out of the pen. This may be especially important for Johnson, who Penders says has a world of talent, but often has trouble with control. [/QUOTE]
