First off, Brandon Moss at first should NEVER take Grichuk out of this line up again. I don't care the stat, the defense, the righty/lefty, the anything. It is patently absurd.

Secondly, at this point, and even before, Peralta in the 5 hole is criminal.

Ain't gonna happen but Peralta and Holiday should sit Monday night. We need good eyes, healthy players and contact hitters to face this guy. I'd rather see Garcia try to bunt than watch Peralta strike out on ball 4 again. As for 1 for 15 Holliday, I just threw him on the heap to blow up dawgs aorta valve.

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That is all.
