OMG!! The WINNING COMBO!

So while conducting some very rudimentary, non Fangraphs quantum calculations analysis, I have come to the following conclusions that Bochy is hereby ordered to read and abide by:
Rowand was 25-73 (.342) w/ 4 HRs batting 7th before todays suckfest. He went 1-3 today, so he still has a decent average at #7 spot, but left 2 RISP.
Winn's best position is #5, where he is 30 for 87 (.345). Went 3-5 today in #5 spot...I like him here! Garko behind him is apparently not a good idea.
I like Velez in the leadoff spot (NEEDS to learn to steal), but after yesterday's performance I found an interesting fact: he's batting .156 (5-32) when playing 2B. Started at 2B, 0-5 today. Freddy come back! Velez only hits well playing the OF.
I initially thought I'd go with a Pablo - Nate 3-4 so Pablo would get him more ABs (and because Nate is hitting .471 at cleanup), but I can handle Nate then Pablo. All of Pablo's HRs minus one have come at the 3rd slot, but batting cleanup you can't complain about his .455 avg.
I think this is the winning combo. Bochy, stop using your huge French brain and just go with logic. And for fricks sake, stop removing Nate from the lineup. Just stop. I say Nate ends season over .310 if given daily opportunities. But here it is, my lineup of guaranteed victory!
Velez (OF!!!!!!!!)
Sanchez (2B)
Nate (OF)
Pablo (3B)
Winn (OF)
Molina (C)
Garko (1B) (away ONLY..4-30 at home) (Ishikawa at AT&T ONLY .349 at home!)
Renteria (.362 batting 8th spot)or Uribe (.325 in 8th spot) (SS)

“stop using your huge French brain”
actually, his brain isn’t that big, it’s just his head and the resulting gravitational pull
hmm where’s that caps lock…

You forgot Rowand in your lineup even though you specifically mention him in your post.

Oh, those are the stats his new team shall enjoy once they pull him off waivers.

The next person who suggests that the Giants will score more runs by rearranging the same group of crappy hitters . . .
. . . will annoy me just as much as the last one.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
I suggest the Giants will score more runs by playing a certain non crappy hitter every day

I don’t think we’ve got a ton of crappy hitters, we just needed a little lineup feng shui. Seriously, I heard Nate batting before Pablo, but I saw Clark before Mitchell.

We have a ton of crappy hitters. It’s barely arguable. We rank last or next to last (or next to that) in virtually every single significant offensive category in the league (note to self: encourage somebody else to verify this before I pass it off as absolute fact)..
We didn’t get to that point by surrounding Pablo Sandoval with a bunch of good hitters.
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

feng shui
The leadoff hitter should always face north, and the player closest to the door is designated as the “helper”.
Seriously, though. Nate Schierholtz – great kid, good arm, decent pop. Not exactly liquid offense, though. At the same age, Will Clark was putting up a .400 OBP. Nate’s never going to do that.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
But Edgar Rentaria is 2 for 2 with RISP and one out in the fourth inning of day games when he’s batting second.
HE NEEDS TO PLAY IN THOSE SITUATIONS!

We need Bowker to play everyday.
Should be Bowker in left, Nate in right, and a platoon of winn/rowand in CF. If Bowker bats 250 with 20 dingers he will be worth more than Winn and probably Rowand.
Besides the fact that Bowker is not on the roster, I kinda agree with this post.
Schierholtz in right, Rowand in center, hot hand in left.

Starting Sanchez Second?
Or, I suppose… Starting Sanchez at Second…
That doesn’t seem to involve too much peril, actually.

To your lineup...
…lipstick on a pig. You can redress a pig any way you want, but it’ll still just be Yadier’s brother at the end of the day.
But I like the enthusiasm.
Stupid is as Ruben Rivera does...
Yeah, some pigs look pretty sexy in lipstick.
