Posted September 22, 200519 yr Please let the young guys get a bundle of at bats, Jack... atleast give some of us a reason for watching this team anymore in 2005 I mean, there is only so much Rolaids one can take
September 22, 200519 yr Some of you may know, I wasn't in favor of playing all those youths that you people make seem like the second coming of Christ (i.e. Willingham) earlier in the season; BUT now is the time to just put all the youngsters in and see what they got. This season is over. I'd like to see this lineup... LF- Willingham CF- Aguila RF- Hermida 3B- Mike Lowell (to see if he actually starts hitting) SS- Andino/Wilson 2B- Joe Dillon 1B- Whoever C- Treanor
September 22, 200519 yr Felo, you're nuts. Do you want us to finish with a losing record? Put Hermida in left while Miggy is out. I would like to see Miggy continue to play just to boost his stats.

I would like to see Miggy continue to play just to boost his stats. 958215[/snapback] I really don't care. It's all the same to me if you don't make the playoffs. You're a loser. Besides, they can't possibly do any worse than the current team is doing...
September 22, 200519 yr all the rookieswe have and lowell Let Delgado go out there, rest miggy, castillo, paulie.
September 22, 200519 yr Yes, time to let the injuries rest and to give some of next year's potential starters some playing time.
September 22, 200519 yr You know Valdez, Moehler and even Quantrill (think Dave Weathers) will get to start a game before Johnson and Vargas do.
September 22, 200519 yr Hermida needs to start every day for the rest of the year. Gotta agree with that. He needs as much AB's as possible this season. I really want to see what he can do playing every day.
September 22, 200519 yr There is no reason to play the scrubs/kids until the team is mathematically eliminated (not that I'm professing any belief they still have a whole lot of a chance) with the exception of Andino at SS and fillintheblank if Castillo can't go. You certainly don't have Willingham catch Dontrelle tonight, or use Messenger to close if Jones is available and they have a chance to win, just because you want to get the kids some work. The same goes for Hermida, Josh Wilson and the rest of them. Until there is no tomorrow you put your best team out there regardless of the odds.
September 22, 200519 yr Author you play the kids because they actually look like they give a damn and who says playing the kids isnt putting our best team out there?
September 22, 200519 yr you play the kids because they actually look like they give a damn and who says playing the kids isnt putting our best team out there? DING DING DING!!!! Considering the "regular" line-up failed to get over 2 runs a lot of times this season, can the kids do any worse? Starts the "LET THEM PLAY!" chant from Bad News Bears movie (the one in the Astro-Dome)
September 22, 200519 yr willis bats 7th tonight I love it :thumbup as reported by buster olney on the boog show today :thumbup
September 22, 200519 yr you play the kids because they actually look like they give a damn and who says playing the kids isnt putting our best team out there? :lol :lol :lol You're kidding, right?
September 22, 200519 yr Author you play the kids because they actually look like they give a damn and who says playing the kids isnt putting our best team out there? :lol :lol :lol You're kidding, right? what's the worst that happens if we start the kids? we leave 10-15 men on base again?
September 22, 200519 yr Give Andino and Wilson plenty of starts. Get Willingham some playing time dammit! And most important of all, keep Lowell on the bench.

This would be a way to show the regulars that they FAILED this season and it will give us a look into next season. Besides, I bet the kids wont do worse than go 1-6 in the last 7 games...
