Critical game (what else is new.)

 

We need everyone to perform. A.J. is ready.

 

I posit (again) that the backbone is the Three Horsemen:

Lo Duca, Lowell and Conine.

Cab's, Enc', Gonzo, Luis, JP, etc. (including the bench) will help tremendously.

 

But, I still think we turn on Lo Duca, Lowell and Conine.

 

And Starting Pitchers (which we now have.)

A bad Stat of the day for you:

AJ @ Home: 6-0 2.80 ERA 1.05 WHIP

AJ Away: 0-6 6.25 ERA 1.50 WHIP

 

We need him to turn it around here

 

Some good news....

AJ in Day games: 3-0 2.43 ERA 0.84 WHIP

AJ in night games 3-6 4.48 ERA 1.33 WHIP

Let's go AJ, lets go mow them down.

Jeff Conine is more like a Pony if anything. Duca, Cabs, Lowell, and JP carry this team offensively.

Agreed :thumbup

 

We can't leave Cabs out.....arguably he should be at the top of the list.....RBI leader, and most consistent hitter through out the year.

And highest OPS.

Mota has a higher OPS.

 

Just kidding, of course.

Can we stop selecting various players as horsemen, please? It's gone far enough. Come to an agreement on who exactly are the horsemen because I've seen several different versions.

Sorry to dizzy you. I go with three solid veterans who MUST produce: Lo Duca, Lowell and Conine. Very simple.

Lowell lately has not been producing. Only thing he has been producing is pop flys. Right now, Id pick Cabs over Lowell.

I hate to bring this up, but 9ner doesn't even break the top 20 in production among 1B. Veteran or not hes a below average offensive 1B. This said I remember what he did when we acquired him last season (homer barrage against Phils) and hope he does it again.

You don't get to pick. Maybe Cab's comes through. But, if Veterans Lo Duca, Lowell AND Conine don't come through, we have nothing.

I don't get to pick? LMAO. Last time I checked I am entitled to my own opinion. Lowell has not been producing lately. He shouldn't be on that list for now.

I am saying that if Lowell does not produce, we lose.

I am saying the same for Lo Duca and Conine.

JP and Cabs can do great, but we need Lo Duca, Lowell and Conine producing.

Very simple.

Don't plug in your favorite, plug in reality.

I'm sorry that doesnt make sense. Conine hasn't been producing much at all this season. Cabrera and Lowell have basically carried the offense exclusively this season.

Cabs isnt my favorite. Its Castillo. And do you see me plugging him in? No man. Lowell lately hasnt been producing. Its Cabs that has been producing more lately out of the two. All Lowell does now is pop up.

For the stretch... this stretch, it will take producing Veterans to make it happen.

 

Cab's will add (maybe big-time), so will JP, and maybe Easley and maybe Mordi,

but the bottom-line will be Lo Duca, Lowell, Conine. Now or never.

I say it will take producing hitters...veteran or not.

Meanwhile LoDuca is the 3rd worst starting catcher in the NL (only ahead of starters Brad Ausmus, Mike Matheny and Chad Moeller in VORP) and offensively Encarnacion is the worst starting RF in the majors.

 

But, heh, whatever, our pitchign staff will cary us and someone on offense will step up when needed.

Oh yeah..

 

Mike Mordecai, Mike Redmond, Alex Gonzalez and Juan Encarnacion will lead this team to the title. Our B lineups have been putting runs on the board and will be counted on in all these day games.

Yep. Burnett, Beckett, and Pavano have to be absolute lights out from here on out. We cannot afford to lose any of those starts.
