Angel Pagan still has some soreness in his right side that makes it uncomfortable to hit left-handed. That’s why Jesus Feliciano pinch-hit for him last night and was in center field on the game winning hit, and why he’s not in the lineup tonight against righty Chris Volstad.
Here’s tonight’s lineup vs. Marlins:
Jose Reyes, SS
Jesus Feliciano, CF
David Wright, 3B
Ike Davis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Chris Carter, RF
Rod Barajas, C
Alex Cora, 2B
Mike Pelfrey, RP
I see M&M actually wants to win tonight and stopped playing for the crowd.
is pagan still hurt again? why is he out.
SteveC (1): He’s still tender batting from the left side so will sit against Chris Volstad.-JD
2. *sigh* but his arm! oh well if he’s tender he’s tender.. I have some chinese ointment that helps.. that and a PK he’s good to go.
SteveC (3): Would’ve been interesting to see how the play that ended last night’s game would have turned out had Pagan been playing, but we’ll never know. … I’d rather they sit him than lose him for a longer time.-JD
4. yeah better healed than heeled.
4. as discussed by us and the sny sports casters. our typically outfielders have cannons for arms. Franceour being the highest velocity cannon!
