O’Hearn popped off after clamoring for him forever, Arraez hit leadoff yesterday and started 3/3.
So naturally the only conclusion is once we get enough guys back immediately return to benching O’Hearn and putting Arraez at the 2 spot.
Rather see Merrill at SS than Mccoy so O’hearn can be in the lineup
I’m really starting to wonder what was the Cardinals experience with Shildt was like
Too many stars than positions and we’re playing McCoy.
lol Mike has jokes
Can’t bench Arraez after a big game. (Please ignore the fact that Diaz was benched after a two home run game.)
McCoy over O’Hearn is a choice
Absolutely incredible that the top three will never change.
McCoy and his .143 OPS over putting a guy like Merrill or Jake at SS. Shildt I stg you make it so to be likable
Get Mike Shil*t off my ball club man
Tatis at SS, then get O’Hearn in the lineup
Let Lu bat leadoff.
Move Croney or Merrill to SS.
O’Hearn at DH or 1B.
Can we let Diaz play a little more? Fermin is nice, but Diaz has more pop than Freddy.
Alright. Welp. I ummm, is he trying to get himself fired? I don’t fucking know.
You know what, I’m just excited to see Merrill back. I know he misses being out there, hopefully Petco gives him a little extra energy today
is he trying to lose his job? because this is how you lose your job
This is O’Hearn’s old team. I feel like there’s almost an element of disrespect sitting him here, especially against a righty. I hope that’s not the case but it’s downright odd.
Man fuck you Mike
creative!
This is fucking disgusting mismanagement.
Who’s mccoy?
Put Merrill at SS keep Sheets at LF, Laureano at CF so we can have both O’Hearn and Arraez in the lineup
Arraez should be leading off
Why does Schildt hate us?
What I wish is O’Hearn at 1st, Arraez 2nd, and Cron at short. Just give it a shot.
I’m curious how AJ feels about these lineups considering the cost of the trades.
McCoy at SS? You know Merrill probably told Shildt he could slot in at his natural position. Now we have O’Hearn sitting.
Heard Tatis say “twas nothing but a scratch”. HR coming today along with a Padre win. Darvish is gonna shove, 6 or 7 innings, with an obligatory solo HR(only run scored by them) for Power Hitting Orioles.
The drop from O’Hearn to McCoy is massive
Thanks Schildt!
How about Merrill and Tatis take turns at SS?
Tatis back already? Hope he’s at 100%
Arraez has his best game in days and we put him back to the 2 spot and take O’Hearn out. Sounds like a great plan.
Why does Shildt want to lose so bad?
Shieldt continues to throw the sane 123 every time, it doesn’t work and it has not worked in a LONG time

We couldn’t, for once, just experiment with Arraez at lead off again when Tatis is in the lineup?
Merrill’s back!

O’Hearn benched great….for McCoy.
