Jason Bay hit a bases clearing double last night hitting low in the batting order. He’s seventh today, which is a good spot for him as it alleviates some of the pressure.
Today’s lineup at Dodgers:
Jose Reyes, SS
Luis Castillo, 2B
Angel Pagan, RF
David Wright, 3B
Carlos Beltran, CF
Ike Davis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Rod Barajas, C
Mike Pelfrey, RP
Interesting, Angel Pagan is hitting third tonight behind Jose Reyes and Luis Castillo. Presumably, that’s because weak-hitting catcher Henry Blanco is in the line-up batting eighth.
Here’s the batting order:
Jose Reyes, SS
Luis Castillo, 2B
Angel Pagan, RF
David Wright, 3B
Carlos Beltran, CF
Ike Davis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Henry Blanco, C
Johan Santana, LP
Josh Thole stays, in part because of his offense, but sits tonight. What a shock. Alex Cora in at second, which I have no problem with. Every time he plays Cora does something positive.
Here’s tonight’s lineup at Arizona:
Jose Reyes, SS
Angel Pagan, RF
David Wright, 3B
Carlos Beltran, CF
Ike Davis, 1B

Jon Niese, LP
Carlos Beltran will have the afternoon off but is available to pinch-hit.

Carlos Beltran was to rest today, but is in the lineup. Jerry Manuel said he’ll sit Beltran tomorrow.
Manuel also said Jose Reyes will start Monday in Arizona.
