Just a big rally killing dead spot at the 2.

There is nothing defensible about Peña in the 2-hole.

Zero.

Exhibit A of why you bat your best hitter 2nd

Real good bringing in Diaz off the bench

Coulda had a couple more ABs had you started him

Gave up 7 runs, tell me exactly what Maldy does for this pitching staff

I think this is a game that you can add to the losses caused directly by Dusty Baker's lineup decisions. Start with the passed ball in the first because Maldy was playing, mix in a number of strikeouts, and end it with Peña right there.

It didn't have to be this way.

WHERE THE **** IS THE LINEUP OF DEATH!!!! Yes, I know Uncle Mike is likely out but it should be as close to Lineup of Death as possible for this stretch run. I have to hope Dana is telling Donkey to do this and he's just ignoring it like the stubborn ass he is.

And yes, Pena in the 2 hole is just ridiculous...why? Oh wait, I know why, because he's a manager built on hope. He hopes Pena will start heating up like he did in the playoffs. He hopes Maldy will magically become Maldy from like 5 years ago, at least from a defense perspective. His hope will end our playoff chances, just watch.
