Should we start Dyson in game 3

[penbrook]

Aoki has done nothing this postseason batting wise. He is a major defensive liability especially in San Fran where RF is a bit interesting. You move Cain over to RF and have the best outfield in all of baseball. You move Infante up to the 2 spot and have Dyson hit 7th.

We don't need Dyson trying to hit home runs because that leads to
Pop ups. If he can just hit grounded and line drives he will be the starting CF next year

Well, I'll be gawdamned!

Like they said in Moneyball: "We only have to replace Giambi in the aggregate". We only have to pull enough horses together to replace Aoki's 1 HR. (falls down laughing)


Dyson should be our CF next year.

I can't believe Yost is actually learning and during a playoff run too

I don't know if we need to start messing with things too much, it's not like we're down 2-0. Unless you're just terrified of Aoki in RF. But I probably like Aoki more than most. I always feel confident when he's up there he'll make the pitcher work and put the ball in play.

Starting Dyson also takes any double switches out of play, although maybe they really do want Aoki as a PH. We also have Butler and Willingham too though. Doing this also takes a potential pinch runner out of play.

Dyson really should be our CF next year. Have to re sign him and he needs to change his hitting. He says he likes to hit home runs. That's not his game. If he can hit grounded and line drives we could have something here

Nix gives you a better chance than Willingham. He is struggling a lot

It's fascinating how much baseball knowledge you lack

[DeezNutz]

Really think that arguing about Dyson and Aoki is essentially bitching over 4th outfielders.

[tk13]

Other issue is it probably plays into Bochy's hands a bit since he likes to match up L/R/L/R out of the pen. Unless you actually want to PH for Dyson late and put Aoki in for him the next inning.

Well Yost apparently liked my idea of starting Dyson

You want to re-fire this game back up Hoots? Really, you?

Because I think we should have traded Shields and Holland while we had our backs against the wall to better our 2015 team?

Prison Bitch ... the guy who never once predicted us to finish with more than 83 wins ... gives me a hard time because I offered STL Shields/Holland for Oscar Taveras at the trade deadline ... a trade I'd still do knowing what I know now.
