I realize his at bats are going to suck, and that's he is going to keep playing until Gordon gets back.

I'll start getting upset again if he stays in the lineup during meaningful games when we have Ben Zobrist and they sit one of our outfielders instead.

Be prepared. I'm betting it happens though I prefer the other options at the moment.

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 07:48 PM

I think I was actually the one guy to defend Omar on that one ... everyone called for his immediate DFA'ing

however, he redeemed himself with the flip to Esky as suddenly his flawless defense (legendary, I guess) has now made him invaluable to our lineup despite his offense seeing being below NL pitcher replacement level for 400+ at bats

he'd have to go on a Nori Aoki September tear for it to happen ... he's a dead man walking when it comes to playing time in October on this roster

Ned/Dayton have made the right move every single time this year on just about everything ... my faith in them is 100%

Fairplay · 08-25-2015, 07:50 PM

The best of our line up is here. Lets score more runs and do it for Duffy.

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 07:51 PM

I don't know why they keep saying that ... as soon as Cain avoided the tag (which was very heads up) and they forced Hos out at 1st .. the run at home counted as Cain was no longer a force out at 2nd.

Great Expectations · 08-25-2015, 07:51 PM

Cain smoked that...

I won't be suprised either way. The real value of playing Zobrist at 2nd is platooning Dyson and Rios/Orlando. If they don't do that it doesn't matter a great deal to me either way. I guess I'd still prefer Rios if he keeps hitting the ball solid, but it's not a tremendous difference without the platoon IMO.

**petegz28** · 08-25-2015, 07:54 PM

Twins up 11-7

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 07:56 PM

Rios is the same thing ... if he goes on a 20+ game streak where he's hitting around .750 OPS + ... he'll save his job (for at least the first 6-7 innings of games) ...

but if we bench Rios/Dyson/Orlando and put Zobrist in RF so we can keep Infante at 2nd ... that's just ... stupid

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 07:56 PM

I'm hoping we can get Marlins updates if possible, Pete ... for the rest of the year?

Great Expectations · 08-25-2015, 08:00 PM

Houston is up 15-0 on the yanks

Great Expectations · 08-25-2015, 08:01 PM

Does that play help Hos's defensive metrics?

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 08:02 PM

it's a good thing Infante/Hosmer have such great chemistry
