should be an interesting lineup

with murphy out long term, surely boggs doesnt need to be ahead of davis in the lineup v righties on a daily basis.

and hopefully bradley can finally step up now that the lineup is (and yes, murphy to boggs is a significant downgrade v righties imo) hurt a bit more.

Lineup

2B Ian Kinsler
DH Frank Catalanotto
SS Michael Young
CF Josh Hamilton
RF Marlon Byrd
LF Brandon Boggs
C Gerald Laird
1B Chris Davis
3B Ramon Vazquez

Per DMN.

booo.

come on, what logic is there behind boggs above davis in a semi-permanent lineup spot.

davis has hit righties better. hes hit lefties better. he hit in better lineup spots in the minors. he only has a few less at bats.

id rather have davis face some lefty the other team brings in then boggs facing a setup/closing calibur righty late in the game.

I guess

Boggs can handle the pressure of batting 6th better than Davis.

Sigh... yea, I had been picking the Yankees as a reverse jinx

let see....

My predictions so far-
Tues- was complete opposite of what I said.
Wed- I was dead on.(even though I was hoping I would jinx the Yankees)

tonight-

I see usual Mussina only giving up 3 runs through 6 2/3….and the yankees bullpen maybe giving us 1 run.

I see feldman pitching well most of the night, but he will have that 1 inning in which he gets torched for 4 runs.

Rangers lose 6-4. Rivera gets another save. I wish his freakin arm would fall off.

TAG: "When you watch this guy play, you don't look at him and think that's a guy who has those numbers."

That was TAG on Brandon Boggs. His argument for how Boggs has been “better than his numbers.”

To me, that’s an argument for why you don’t get that much just from watching and TAG was doing his best Tim McCarver impression.

Not that I don’t like Boggs. He also sneezed at his 5 assists, but that’s actually pretty good.

by philkid3 on Aug 7, 2008 7:11 PM CDT reply actions  

the problem with his average

is that he doesn’t play everyday, so they could argue that .244 might not be that bad, especially for a fourth outfielder
