With hitting like this, it makes no difference what order you use. If I'm Bobby Cox, and it winds up that the Braves face the Giants, I am going to try to get Derek Lowe as many starts as possible. Have we ever beaten that guy?Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-5390483930898555632010-08-08T17:20:09.350-07:002010-08-08T17:20:09.350-07:00The Giants are carrying 13 pitchers and 12 positio...The Giants are carrying 13 pitchers and 12 position players so that means only 4 extras (non-pitchers) on the bench. Thus we see Matt Cain pinch-hitting.<br /><br />The alternative to Sandoval is Posey.

Cain may be a slightly better hitter, but so what? And Wellemeyer was predictably awful. They should have gotten another inning out of JSanchez.<br />I don't like Pablo batting 2nd. I don't know what the better alternative would be, though.<br />This was a mostly meaningless series.
