Wasn't computer search ability restricted by Pioli in his Galag Chiefs Compound? Can you imagine what Matt Casshole ever thought if he came to this site? Hell at times there were 6-8 threads going about him with all kinds of negative stuff in the thread titles.

You are missing the point. You play the matchup with your shittier hitters. Dyson isn't an everyday player no matter what people on CP say. Arguing about this is like deciding if you want herpes or chlamydia.

Ohh Pioli's a pussy, he was thin skinned. I don't think you can be that thin skinned when you are an NFL QB. Billy Butler only searches for new restaurants in the area.

I dont think they realize how good Kershaw is. He can have a shitty outing like anyone else, but dude is insane good.

ohh and Maxwell isn't getting a hit tonight. So his numbers won't me shit.

Yep, unless Kershaw makes a mistake, the Royals aren't winning. Looks like he has perfect control tonight.

No we do. Which is why arguing about which turd in this lineup will hit the best pitcher in the game is reeruned.

yep, if Maxwell goes 0-4, the Dyson defenders do not "win" this one. Maxwell is obviously the correct choice here.

Turds don't go 3-3 w/ 2 rbi's vs the top billed pitcher in the league who doesnt allow more than 3 runs a game

Dyson is a better player and hitter, especially this season right now.

Tommy should have signed that chick's thigh...

At the rate we are going so far, Maxwell may never get to the plate

[gblowfish]

Hope Duffy gets locked in and just starts dealing.

If you are going to straight-up say he's a better hitter and take defense out of the question, then you are simply wrong. Especially against a LHP.

I'm saying that Maxwell is the choice even given Dyson's speed and defense, but if you are going to say he's the better hitter, that is just not correct at all.
