Uncle Chollie Shakes Up Phils' Batting Order. Why Not?

Share

With the Phils six straight losses deep in a slump that seems unending, your Uncle Charles has dramatically changed the batting order for tonight's game in Oakland in the hopes of waking up the beast we know is somewhere in this lineup.

Facing Oakland rook Greg Smith will be:
1-Jayson Werth
2-Chase Utley
3-JRoll
4-Pat the Bat
5-Ryan Howard as DH
6-Pedro Feliz
7-Maui Wowee
8-Chris Coste
9-Eric Bruntlett at 1B

I like it. Of course, with the way the Phils are swinging the bats, the Skip could
have taken nine names out of  a hat and it'd be tough to argue with his genius logic methods. Swapping Howard and PTB has been suggested and attempted, and tonight's a great night to try it again. Giving the Big Guy a night off in the field is probably a good idea too. Killer K takes the hill and hopes to stop the bleeding. (Batting order reported by Comcast Sportsnet)
