1:15 -- Charlie Manuel's lineup includes a major surprise. Ryan Howard is hitting third. Chase Utley hitting fourth. Manuel said he was kicking the move around for a couple weeks and just decided to do it today. A couple of us in the press box don't like it. How about you?
1:17 -- Howard singles to right after Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino strikeout swinging. Utley grounds out to second to end it.

Are we supposed to be surprised when Charlie does something stupid?

Ed,
Charlie has to make it seem like he is doing something....Do not think it is as big a deal as people make it out to be.

an awful idea...slow-running howard will limit chase's aggresive baserunning. i understand charlie wants to give howard some protection, but there has to be another way.
