I'm not sure I'dhave the same lineup, but at least there would be somme consistency. These guys don't go to the park knowing whether they are in the lineup, and if there are, where they're going to be in the lineup. I know you're supposed to go the park redy to play every night, but that is simply not reality. Jason- I agree that Von has to get a set lineup and stick with it.

Everyone bats everywhere. It's like picking out of a hat. I think it's time to go with: Woods, Gonzalez, Bladergroen, LeCroy, Coffie, Castillo, Turner, Munhall and Hileman and hope for the best. Don't adjust to every single pitcher or every single ballpark. Pick your best nine and stick with it for a while. By the way, batting Woods -- a .390 on-base guy who leads the league in steals -- eighth, doesn't make much sense to me. Sure, he strikes out a ton. You know what else he does? Score runs. He hasn't been scoring them batting at the bottom of the order. The Barnstormers haven’t really had a bottom third of the order in the last few games. Everyone bats everywhere.

We need to start producing runs (I know that's not a well kept secret)or we will be out of the second half race real quick. The pitching has been solid lately. Everyone keeps pointing the finger at bottom third of the lineup, which obviously has struggled as of late, but the fact is the lineup as a whole has not been producing. If you have to rely on the bottom third of the order, you are going to have long year. Pack- I’m glad I can provide some comic relief.
