Today's lineup: Who sits? Hu sits ... and so does Loney

Maza is 7 for 14 since his callup, so Joe said he wanted to go with offense early in hopes the club will put itself in position to go with defense late (i.e., have a lead), in which case Hu will be inserted at SS for Maza. Meanwhile, Loney is hitless in his past 12 ABs, so Mark Sweeney -- who, coincidentally, is hitless in his past 10 ABs -- is playing 1B.
