the lineup

J. Arias 2b.286

M. Bradley dh .324
H. Blalock 1b .263
M. Byrd lf 294
N. Cruz rf .250
G. Laird c .278
C. Davis 3b .278
 
is it stupid to assume that next season davis will bat 5th or 6th?

well if wash chooses a rookie every year that needs to bat 8th/9th, im glad hes getting it out of the way now

Good thing Davis was brought up when he was.

Not that I'm a Botts defender

but whenever they used to call him up they would immediately bat him clean up, which I always thought was a bit stupid. Now with Davis we go the complete opposite, he’s proven he can hit a little bit, but we leave him hitting 9th.

Further evidence that our manager is sort of clueless.

I honestly don't see the logic behind

5-9 in the lineup.

It should be like this, IMO
Byrd (I know, but he has been hot)
Davis
Blalock
Laird
Cruz

who else would hit there besides byrd?

so..

Chris Davis or Nelson Cruz should be leading off?

Byrd should be hitting leadoff

That’s the entire point.

browser

although perhaps its too late to tell (not enough posts in the thread), those whose computer slows down in these threads might want to try googles browser they released today. the way they explained it it should at least make it so that other tabs arn’t slowed down.

Slow threads

Other SBN sites that I’ve seen only let the comments get to around 250 or so. LSB goes to around 500 which doesn’t really help. I don’t blame AJM though, I wouldn’t want to make a new thread every 250 comments.

by Chris Hanes on Sep 2, 2008 7:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

they are fine into the 600s for me.

every 250 and we would have ended up with 9 threads during the biggest games wiping out the entire front page 0.o
it’d be nice if they could find a way to automate it into pages or something.

he thinks hes done a lot more than he actually has

i remember mench and wilkerson not being happy missing time. hows that working out for them.
lairds decent but its not that hard to see him getting less than 50% playing time on a team within a couple years and we will see how he feels then.
