Right. I wasn't suggesting that.

Aoki should be fine in the smaller RF area at their park. You worry about our guys being able to play the winds there, supposedly they can really take a ball. Don't you need a coat if you're sitting on one side of the stadium and not the other, because of the bay?

Anyway, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

You guys are nuts.

I hope Hos settles down at the plate and stops swinging at dirt pitches on the first throw by the pitcher.

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!!

If butler plays one inning in the field that isn't injury related then Ned truly is a dipshit.

Has he even played anything else besides 1st base? Ever?

Billy has been doing pretty damn good this postseason. Series might be 0-2 if Billy hadn't kept us in that game the first 6 innings. It might not be a bad idea to put him on the field so he can bat 3+ times these next 3 games.

Stupid thread is stupid

Actually, it's not. Whether you agree with it or not is the real question - obviously you don't:evil:

Uh...Yes, he is.

Aoki had a couple of great swings last night that unfortunately were hit right to fielders. This happens. Just leave shit well enough alone.

A lot of the reason why we are here is Aoki catching fire at the end of the season.

I don't think you change a whole heck of a lot when you have won 9 out of 10 games.

Soren and Rany covered it well today. I think it would be a good move, but I won't be upset if Yost keeps it as is.

Probably a 90% chance Aoki starts in RF.

He's been cold for 2 months. He hit .190 over the month of September.
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.

Salvy is hitting .146 in the playoffs.
Maybe move Billy to catcher to keep his bat in the lineup?

/I won't be surprised if I see this suggestion
