August 24, 200520 yr Cabs is now playing 3rd base it's been a long time coming.... let's see how he reacts there and see if he plays there in the near future
August 24, 200520 yr Lol, we just finished a power outage here and missed the whole game and the power just came on in time to here the tv guys talking about what I reported yesterday, that Miggy wanted to play the infield yesterday afternoon. Long overdue. Perhaps Jack didn't want to embarrass Lowell at home. Just a guess. I also think Flamarlins3 (as I've been saying for awhile now) that you'll get your wish and Hermida will be up BEFORE the Sept 1 deadline so if he clicks he'll be eligible for the playoffs.
August 24, 200520 yr Let's hope it's permanent. 913009[/snapback] I have a feeling that when asked about this, Jack will say "Lowell has played a lot of games and needed a day off, this was a good opportunity to do so . . . ." :plain book it

August 24, 200520 yr You don't need Hermida to make this a better lineup. It's been said 8,473 times on this board already, but putting Conine in left, with Cabby at third, would make the lineup stronger, once Enc comes back. Conine is really hitting well and he could make a difference in the lineup with Enc at the same time.
August 24, 200520 yr So how'd he do at 3rd today? Couldn't see the game today, but I did see that we got pounded...any E's?

August 24, 200520 yr He's been real s***ty with the bat in August, I know, but what I was wondering is how he did defensively. Did he not reach balls Lowell would have snagged? Did he make any Errors? Just overall did he look comfortable playing there.

With Cabrera at 3rd, Conine and Encarnacion in the out field we are better offensive team. We get lowell and his .230 average out. The least we could do is try it for a few days

Tonight was ugly, but at least we got losses out of Houston, Atlanta, and DC. Lets hope A.J. pitches lights out and whoever pitches Thursday gives us a chance to take that game.
August 24, 200520 yr I never suggested Hermida was a "savior" but I did believe that if the front office was going to bring him up, they would do it before Sept 1 so that if he did click, he'd be eligible for the post-season. Obviously TRESOP's news that Hermida has joined the walking wounded changes that.

Maybe everyone on the boards hopes so eventually. But, I think he would put up solid numbers and defense out there. I want to get Encarnacion back too but I gotta wonder, whatever happend to Connie's power? We need someone in the line up with a bit more power, that is what we are seriously lacking right now.

Getting Enc back healthy would be a breath of fresh air but noone can predict he will be 100% the rest of the way. This is where Alex hitting for average this year is hurting us. The fact is we couldnt have seen this coming b/c noone would have predicted that Lowell, Niner, and Gonzo's power numbers would drop off. Especially Lowell. He looks like he struggles to even get the ball to the outfield. Finding a source of power would be a great lift.

I'm fine with Gonzo 913335[/snapback] If thats the case then Lowell is doing fine when it comes to doubles aswell. In fact Niner isnt doing badly in that stat considering his # of at bats at 13 doubles. The doubles are fine as long as people are on base. I want HR power. Instant scorage :thumbup Also I have no problem with Gonzo. I just wish we saw a flash of power a bit more. Alot more damage that way. NL Stat Top 100 for Doubles: 13. M Lowell 31 16. A Gonzalez 30 64. P Lo Duca 21 Also if Gonzo was producing with power more his RBI totals would not be at 45. About 8 less then Lowell.
