At least his few hits in the playoffs have scored some runs, and he does draw some walks, but it does seem like his extended slump isn't mentioned much.
12K's in 34 AB's in the Post Season is really bad. Not good when he's one of the main guys you are counting on to make contact.

Maybe move Billy to catcher to keep his bat in the lineup?

/I won't be surprised if I see this suggestion
Comparing that to the Dyson suggestion means that you are just being an asshole.

I'm not. And I'm not arguing for Aoki like it's some no-brainer. In another thread someone posted their splits against righties. Dyson was actually the better hitter.

Anyway, in this and a couple other threads, I see people desperately trying to get Butler in the lineup--putting him at 1B and moving Hos to RF for example. I was making fun at that.

I wouldn't be upset. You have Gore as your pinch runner if needed.

10-4

Unless someone get's injured (Hosmer) Butler will get 3 AB's in SF - all pinch hitting. He's a massive liability in the field

He's a much better defensive player. Aoki is a much better overall player on offense, even with this recent slump. His play in the 2nd half of the season is one of the biggest reasons we made the playoffs.

I agree. I think the suggestions to move Hos to RF to get Billy in the lineup are nuts. Hence, my absurd "suggestion" to have Billy replace Salvy.

When he went 11-13 in the WhiteSox series - that was one of the more incredible things I have ever witnessed in baseball.

Gordon? What happened to his bat? He needs to get it going in this series and stop popping up with guys on base.

Glad to see Sal hitting again. I think we will miss Butler- maybe he can come in for Hos if he doesn't stop swinging at the first pitch every time.

All in all I think we win this thing!!
Keep in mind this is from a bandwagon fan who has only seen the post season games...

Gordon hasn't hit worth shit since he got hit in the head with that pitch. The next night he struck out 3 times I believe. That was when I wondered if he was seeing okay or if he might be having issues related with the fast ball upside the head.

Hosmer? The only bad AB he's had to my memory in the WS was his second AB in Game 1. Last night he showed incredible patience and pitch selection.

Hosmer and Cain are dialed in right now.

Dyson, with extended time, gets exposed as a defensive liability because of his lack of instincts, numbers at present be damned.

Anyway, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
The wind could destroy Aoki


He has problems judging the ball as it is

Yes. The more Dyson plays the better

You need to get off that, man. You're just wrong.

Hootie 10-23-2014 04:21 PM
You've been saying it for years it's just one of those things you need to drop because, ya know, it's just incorrect
