You're right. I just cut and pasted and forgot we had the DH and a lefty on the mound which means....no way Jack plays Choi.

 

Pierre

Mordecai

Redmond

Lowell

Cabrera

Easley

Conine

Gonzalez

Castillo

 

Okay, we still need a shakeup after today's mess. Mordy is over 290 vs. lefties the past three seasons and batting 301 in the # 2 spot during the same time period. I move Castillo to # 9 for the same reason I like Castillo 1 and Pierre 2...keep Pierre hitting AFTER Pierre most innings.

You know, the DH kills a team like us.

Stag, redmond hitting 3rd is a great idea

 

here are some numbers

 

in his career with bases empty he is hitting .264

 

career with RISP .303

 

when batting 3rd, .298, 8 Ks in 84 ABs

Cabrera needs to be hitting 5th and lowell needs to be hitting 4th

 

someone else needs to take care of the 3 hole

Dontrelle for DH

Here is what I'd like to see.

1) Pierre

2) Castillo

3) Redmond

4) Lowell

5) Choi

6) Cabrera

7) Treanor - DH

8) Sea Bass

9) Conine

looks good to me

You can't send both catchers out there

 

Let Dontrelle DH

Let Dontrelle DH

why not? If Red goes down, the DH has to go, but what are the odds? You can always use Mordi to catch.

I would really love to see Dontelle at DH tommorw. I also figure since the team is struggling so much at hitting the ball put all nine names in a hat and draw names to get your starting lineup, right now we should be desperate and do whatever it takes to produce runs to go along with our dominating starting pitching and then we can get some wins.

Dontrelle at DH...but what if he gets hurt?

2B Luis Castillo - Our leadoff hitter who will run.

CF Juan Pierre - Our leadoff hitter who can't run because teams are attempting 5+ pickoff attempts per at bat.

1B Jeff Conine - If we're going to hit and run use Conine here. Otherwise it's pointless because he'll never get a pitch to pull.

RF Miguel Cabrera - Hot at the moment. Needs to improve on some things, but the best bat we have.

3B Mike Lowell - Heh

SS Alex Gonzalez - The only one left with some pop.

C Matt Treanor - He's caught for Tejera and is a decent enough hitter to give Alex protection.

LF Abraham Nunez - If he hits into another inning-ending double play atleast Tejera can hit a bit and runs the bases well.

P Michael Tejerrible - Half the bench should be retired and the other half should be in AAA. Let's forfeit the DH and give Michael a chance to do something useful.

And add Easley hitting #9.

Are you out of your mind? The man sucks.

Draw all the names out of a hat. It really doesn't matter where they hit, if they continue to hit like they have recently. :whistle

I would seriously DH Willis, if nothing else, to send a message to the rest of the team.

i agree...

The message would come through loud and clear on the bench.

My only qualm with DHing Willis is if he has an injury. We would be in big trouble.

Every time he hits when he pitches, we take that same chance.

He'll be fine. Just have Jack pull him aside and say "No triples".

1. Castillo: In the # 1 slot he is batting .347 and K's 5.3% of the time. In the # 2 spot he is batting .260 and strikes out 12.2% of the time.

 

2. Pierre: In the # 2 spot he bats .265 and strikes out 7.3% of the time. In the # 1 spot he bats .319 and strikes out 8.8% of the time

 

3. Mike Redmond: Did you know that Red is 24-82 (.293 average) the past three seasons as a # 3 hitter? How about that he has a .379 average this season when runners are on base and .205 when the bases are empty? If Pierre or Castillo can get on this feeds into Red's numbers.

 

4. Mike Lowell: Best man for the job.

 

5. Miguel Cabrera: He batted .320 in this slot in 2003 and according to ESPN has just 3 at bats this season in the # 5 hole and is 3-3.

 

6. Hee Seop Choi: This spot he is batting .289 and has his lowest strikeout % (21%). Bat him 5th with the same amount of at bats and his strikout % is 32%.

 

7. Jeff Conine: Funny how this works out but over the past three seasons he is batting .381 in the # 7 hole and this season is 3-5 batting 7th. I thought he had more at bats in the 7 spot but ESPN says no.

 

8. Sea Bass: I'd rather he bat 7th, but moving Redmond up leaves only the 8 spot for Alex

 

Sounds good. I've wondered at times why Red doesn't get a chance at #3 more often, especially with our current struggle.

If Dontrelle doesn't DH, we will lose tonight.

 

End of story.

Put him #3 then. That would send a message to everybody, not just the bench.

Donny does have a better batting average then most of the bench anyways. I like Red at third and Choi at 6th.....

 

JP, Luis, Red, Cabby, Lowell, Choi, Treanor, Conine, Gonzo....

 

Thank god there are no suggestions for GOAWAYNUNEZ
