I was just riding up the elevator to the press box... and although lineups haven't been posted yet, Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas told me Geoff Jenkins is batting leadoff.

I guess they're going for the left-right-left at the top with Jenkins-Werth-Utley.

That's my only explanation.

Then again, no Rollins (sprained ankle, due back Tuesday), no Victorino (put on DL last night).

So, it is what it is.

If you're curious, Jenkins has had four at bats from the leadoff spot in his career. He's 2-for-4 from the top spot in the order.

When asked about moving Chase Utley up to the second spot in the order yesterday (before Victorino was hurt), Phils manager Charlie Manuel didn't seem to thrilled with the idea, explaining that he'd rather have his second baseman in a run-producing spot in the lineup.

So my guess is Manuel feels more comfortable with Jenkins 1st (not 5th/6th) and with Utley 3rd (not 2nd).

I was thinking the order would be something like this:

Werth
Utley
Burrell
Howard
Feliz
Jenkins
Ruiz
Bruntlett
Moyer

instead, here's the lineup:

Jenkins
Werth
Utley
Howard
Burrell
Feliz
Coste
Bruntlett
Moyer
