That would have been nice. I agree.
"Funny" how that works.

Short flight home and lets do it all again tomorrow night!

Right now, Donovan is about everything you'd want in a #3 hitter.

THat's why it is hilarious to me that the 4th batting spot in a lineup has 'clean up' assigned to it .
Donovan is our true 'clean up' guy. That fact that he is not penciled in 4th makes no difference.

He pops up for a game every now and then offensively and the rest of the time pops up the baseball.

Pop ups are caused by a dipping shoulder or being late on the swing or both.

I've heard you put the best all around hitter at #3. Didn't Pujols bat at #3 mostly? Donovan at 3, Herrera at 4 is the way to go.

Donnie 3, Herrera cleanup.... That is the order I would go with
