Game 112: Mismatch, Anyone?

By Ben Buchanan

Something about this doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Maybe it's the fact that Mike Aviles is in right field? I mean, he's pretty good against lefties, and Scutaro has his weird thing where he kills C.C. Sabathia, but geeze, batting sixth?

  1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
  2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
  3. Adrian Gonzalez, 1B
  4. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
  5. David Ortiz, DH
  6. Mike Aviles, RF
  7. Carl Crawford, LF
  8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
  9. Marco Scutaro, SS

No, no, that's not it. This, however, totally is:

Oh geeze, yeah, that's definitely it. May God have mercy on our souls.
