July 30, 200422 yr Sure is funny that the line up that everyone was so critical of (Conine 5th - Choi 6th) won 4 games in a row. We were just lucky to score that many runs. Fairy guaranteed
July 30, 200422 yr It all starts with the top of the lineup, when they got hot together so did the rest of the team. So many times past few games both JP and Luis have scored on the same hit. I seriously don't think that has happened very many times this year before this week
July 30, 200422 yr If Luis and JP can get on base, its big trouble for the opposing team. Even a lil bloop in to right feild can mean a run or two. They are instrumental. And duh, we all know it. When we've been slumping, they didn't get on base. Odd...No one ever blames them when we loose....

EVERYTIME he gets on i think he's gonna end up getting CS.

July 30, 200422 yr well, latley JP has been on fire, stealin, hitting and defense. So, hopefully he stays hot for the rest of the season/post season/WS....
July 30, 200422 yr Fairy 482303[/snapback] Ferry, jackass. F-E-R-R-Y. If the top two are getting on base and running the lineup works. Otherwise it gets the best out of only two players (Lowell, Cabrera). I'd wait until the lineup produces against a team not named the Phillies.

July 30, 200422 yr The Bottom line... Pierre and Castillo are the key to our run production, if they both get on base then Lowell and Cabrera are productive. When our 1-4 hitters are productive we will almost always WIN. Take a look at the stats for our 1 - 4 hitters they are our Offense. Al of them above .300 AVG, all of them with at LEAST 60 runs scored each. On a side note, Agon has put together 15 HR and 53 RBI damn good I'll say considering how he started the season off!
July 30, 200422 yr The problem is that when the top four aren't producing, even when 2 of the 4 aren't we struggle to score runs. We need a lineup that gets some production out of the bottom of the order as well.
