Not exactly looking for the best season but a good season to start with and watch an order. The first few seasons didn't seem to have anyone I recognized. When did TJ start hosting? Maybe I will start from there
After finishing this season of The Challenge it has me wanting to go back and watch other seasons. For those of you have watched from way back, which season should I start with?

In class on my phone with the volume turned down while trying not to get noticed by the professor.
Gotta skip. I am suppose to have class at 4 but you won't see me caught dead in there unless we had a test which we don't
I hope I can watch it on my TV at home. I live in an area where the Cardinals and Royals are blacked out even though I am 6+ hours away from KC but I have MLB Extra Innings now so I hope I can find it somewhere

LOL at the pregame shows, "this year it seems like there wont be any upsets" WTF
I thought there was going to be either very few or tons of them and it looks like we will have tons

Any velocity reports? Watching it without sound, and all I know is that everyone is late on it.
No they aren't saying anything.

I'm pretty sure Johnson was awful against LHP in AA last year though
.229 in 35 AB's in AA
.301 in 83 AB's in AAA
.280 Total
And he is 4/11 in spring training so far
The good thing with Micah/Eaton hitting back to back is neither are bad hitters against LHP. Eaton hit .299 last year and Micah hit .300 in AAA last year and is hitting over .400 against LHP in the spring

Just to maintain the LRLRLRLRLR theme. I like the idea that they can't bring in a platoon setup specialist and mow down multiple guys later in the game.
No matter what you will have two RH hitters together. It would either be Garcia-Ramirez after LaRoche or Ramirez-Flowers after Gillaspie
The lineup that was posted today was:
L-S-R-L-R-R-L-R-L
Oh, you were wanting to move Johnson too.
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 03:28 PM)
Than Gillaspie? I don't think we have one. Unless you want Cabrera there, but that creates a much bigger hole at #2.
Ramirez is more proven. Not sure why you would want to switch the two in the line up with Gillaspie hitting 6th and Ramirez 7th.

Not a chance Eaton ever bats anywhere other than leadoff. Sox have been looking for a high OBP, speedy leadoff guy for a decade. Not that they have one they aren't going to mess with that. Especially with a hitter as talented as Melky to slot into the 2 hole.
Great AB from Melky. Kuma looks nasty but Melky hung around with 2 strikes and stroked one for a single.
I agree but with Eaton's injury history it is great to have another guy that can leadoff on the roster. I don't expect Micah to ever leadoff unless Eaton is hurt or needs a day off

2010 Andruw Jones in 328 PAs: .230/.341/.486, 121 wRC+, 120 OPS+
2014 Rickie Weeks in 286 PAs:.274/.357/.452, 127 wRC+, 124 OPS+
I totally forgot he was even on our team at one point.
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 02:11 PM)
I'd swap Ramirez and Gillaspie.
L Eaton
S Cabrera
R Abreu
L LaRoche
R Garcia
L Gillaspie
R Ramirez
L Johnson
R Flowers
I would rather have a more proven hitter behind Abreu-LaRoche-Garcia.
