Thank God the Yankees are on ESPN. I was worrying that the country would miss their first pitch. No need to put the AL Champions on the leadoff game or anything.

I am actually okay with switching Moose & Gordo - let Alex work himself in since he barely got a ST, and let's see how Moose responds to being given greater responsibility. Was the postseason a turning point, or an aberration. Still, I agree with others that Moose still doesn't look like your prototypical 2 hole guy. So, yeah, Yost is gonna Yost, and we will be left scratching our heads- or wanting to rip our hair out in frustration sometimes.
Time to get an idea if you are going to look at committing $ to keeping Moose around for the future or if 3b is open for competition. Alex, of course isn't going to be at the 6 hole regularly, but last year he never had the numbers and consistency to establish the best spot for him in the order. I honestly don't know what spot in the order will be the best fit for the team as of yet. If he plays like his did 2 seasons ago, sure, 2 in the order works fine. Alex last year was a lot more of a roller coaster of productivity. We have a good idea, but I honestly don't think you can definitively say he should be a lock for x in the order. Clearly, 6 isn't the spot and if it is then he's having a terrible start to the regular season. Point being, it's 1 game out of 162, and Alex isn't not 100% with a full Spring under his belt. Extenuating circumstances doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

See, I would think it would do absolutely the opposite. Lets spotlight a guy, who struggled like hell last year. Make him the focus of attention. Putting the pressure off & letting a guy get confidence, to me would be letting him bat 7th 8th or 9th.

This is just Ned being Ned. Like I said before, it's far too early to bitch about this stuff on Opening Day. I just struggle seeing shit like this that should be so obvious to the Manager. I hope that his unconventional "gut-feel for his players" works out.

Ned's craziness did just get us to a game 7 bottom 9 with a chance to win it all situation.
Of course it doesn't mean he gets Carte Blanche, but damn, getting called out even before a single pitch in the season opener is an absurdly short leash.

Like I have said a couple of times, it's too early to completely bitch, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to question something that is so questionable. It's a message board, that's kinda what we do here.......

Fair enough, and you can question it. You're also a lot more even tempered and "discussing" about it. By comparison, some are seemingly up in arms and just reactionary like a couple of girls dealing with high school drama.

Once again, let me reiterate how annoyed I am that 1st pitch isn't in 15 minutes. Me and my impatience.
