Everyone in the ALE except Sox are 5-5 in past 10, sox are 3-7. Orioles had just lost 5 in a row before beating us last game. All these teams are gonna go on skids and they are sure to go on a bit of a streak.
This team does look a lot different when you take JD and Tulo out of the lineup.
my ideal lineup would be
Upton RF
JD 3B
JB DH
EE 1b
Tulo SS
Saunders LF
Martin C
Pillar CF
Barney 2B
I would even try and maybe drop Bautista down the order a bit until he can get his bat going.
