Dodgers | Loney, Martin flipped in lineup Thursday

Tony Jackson, of the Los Angeles Daily News, reports Los Angeles Dodgers 1B James Loney and C Russell Martin were flipped in the lineup Thursday, April 23. Loney is now batting sixth and Martin is in the No. 5 spot. Loney has three hits in his last 18 at-bats while Martin has five in his last 10.

Our instinct:  The result?  Loney went 1 for 4 and Martin went 0 for 4 with 2 k’s.  Something isn’t quite right with Russell Martin this season.  After what we saw last season with Victor Martinez, it should make Martin owners a little nervous.
