Thread: Berkman starts at DH

    Astros Berkman starts at DH

    Lance Berkman, who missed Sunday's contest with flu-like symptoms, was back in the starting lineup Monday night as the designated hitter. "I feel good," he said. "I'm much better than I felt yesterday. I can tell you that.
    "Achy, you just feel miserable. (Now) I feel good. I feel strong."
    Because of how Berkman felt Sunday, he got the DH role Monday.
    He'll likely play the field over the next five interleague games as manager Phil Garner has Craig Biggio and Carlos Lee share the DH role.

    Doesn't make much sense to me. I understand they want to give Lee and Biggio some time away from the field, but Lamb has hit so well over the last week or so(I believe he was 11-22 last week, but don't hold me to that), that keeping him in the lineup would be the best thing.

    Maybe he'll start over Ensberg at 3B or get some time in left when Lee is in the lineup. Hmm.

    again speaking from experience as a Brewer fan' Garner is NOT a good manager. He doesnt seem to have a clue how to manage either. but that is just me though.
