Matsui sent to DL

Dammit.

He's been pretty good for us. I hate losing him... especially the second time around. David Newhan has been called up to take his place... But Loretta will most likely take over 2nd base duties for awhile, I think. Of course, not every day, but I expect him to play the most. This most likely puts Pence in the 2nd spot. I guess we'll get to see how the line-up change will help us.

Of course.. this still doesn't answer the question on who will leave the team now that Hernadez is going to be called up soon. I guess we'll see.

Here's the article.

Loretta is hitting 2nd tonight

I don’t mind Loretta in the 2 hole, but I’d rather have Pence…

Go 'Stros!

surprised

to see in the article the mention of Wiggy at 2nd. i guess maybe if you prefer Blum at 3rd, instead of 2nd, but i’d think they’d just keep Ty at his everyday position.

I didn't see any mention of Wiggy at 2d in the article....

maybe it was edited out later or something. But, needless to say, Wigginton’s defensive reputation at 2d base is very bad. As weak as he is fielding 3d base, he probably does less damage at 3d.

didn’t even click the link, cause i figured i’d already read it on the main site. here’s what i was referring to, which is actually in the game preview for tonight’s game:
