Dontrelle Batting Eighth
Dontrelle Willis is batting 8th today. Because of injuries, light hitting Robert Andino is playing shortstop. McKeon decided that Dontrelle is the better hitter, and he was moved higher in the lineup. Of course, Andino has a double, walk and a run scored, the only run in the game so far. Maybe batting behind the pitcher motivated the youngster.
Willis is also making that run stand up. He's gone 7 1/3 so far, only allowing three hits, all singles. His strikeouts returned, as he's got seven Phillies looking or swinging so far.

Yet, the Phillies won 10-2. Yep, 10 runs in the 9th inning.
poor dontrell.
he got clemensed (not enuf run support) and francoed (not helped - ahem - by bullpen) BIG time. now yall understand why roger only got 12 W
and i think that batting a good hitting pitcher higher than 9th is a GOOD idea.
good hitting pitchers ROOL
I don't think that it's a good idea. Think how Andino must have felt to see that lineup. These guys aren't Strat-O-Matic cards, people.
