0-0 with 4 walks is just amazing. Swung the bat twice today.

 

That deserves its own thread.

He busted out the old walking stick.

How many cases have been made in the last couple of days?

maybe he will find the river out in RF tonight ala San Fran

 

I havent been able to use this bad boy in a while

Choi's OBP is .379.....which is only valuable if the guys behind him (Castro and Gonzalez) are moving him along.

 

Which leads me to the thought (and I'll probably get blasted) of putting Choi in the 8th spot, allowing our pitchers a better opportunity at a productive out, and letting Luis and JP knock him in.

Maybe if we flip flop a hot Niner and Choi's extremely patient self we could have Niner hitting two run homers instead of solo shots. Just a thought.

 

BTW, there were some fans a couple seats over to me yesterday that were so pissed that Choi walked that they wanted DLee back. When will it end.

Choi's potential is just sick. that's all

If I were the Marlins, this is the lineup I'd try:

 

Luis

JP

Choi

Miggy

Hulk

Niner

Sea Bass

Ray Ray

Pitcher

 

 

This lineup is an excellent idea IMO. You have the 2 speedsters at the top, then Choi hitting 3rd. Now Choi does take a lot of walks, but put him up there 3rd with JP and/or Luis on base, and he WILL get pitches to hit, especially with Mikey and Cabrera protecting him.

 

That lineup puts 3 guys that get on base a lot in front of the 2 power hitters. I know it's top heavy, but I think the top 5 (and 6 if Niner hits) in this lineup could be just lethal.

Jack tried this already.

 

I'm not sure if batting 3rd was too much pressure for the youngster.

I think this lineup is the best option, but obviously it shouldn't be used if it causes Choi to struggle.

I'm not sure if batting 3rd was too much pressure for the youngster. He only tried it one game, and if I remember correctly the record with that lineup is 1-0. Why not do it again?

Choi was great! 4 walks is like 4 singles. Great game for Choi. But he still needs to learn how to hit other pitches besides the fastball.

:blink:

:blink:

Ditto.

 

 

 

 

Marlins, Choi can hit other pitches then the fastball. Or do you not notice that hes been getting several hits with the breaking pitches lately.
