October 18, 200520 yr At this rate I'm really hoping we play Houston, because i think we can match up better w/ their lineup in their park. St. Louis on the other hand..............Either way, i am curious as to how Oz is going to make out the lineup card in the NL park. Obviously, top priority is giving PK protection, and w/ Everett out, who bat's behind him? Dye? AJ? Crede? Rowand??? Personally, I'd like to see Oz go w/ this lineup..........Pods, Rowand, Iguchi, PK, Dye, AJ, Crede, Uribe, P.........But I imagine he will probably go w/ this one.......Pods, Iguchi, Dye, PK, AJ?, Rowand, Crede, Uribe, P.............Considering the pitcher has to hit, I think it's extremely safe to say the BP will actually pitch in the NL park. Let's just hope their not TOO rusty Edited October 18, 200520 yr by CYGarland

Let's just hope their not TOO rusty Cliff Politte should bat 5th. Honestly, I think you'll see aj moved up to the 5 hole.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) Personally, I'd like to see Oz go w/ this lineup..........Pods, Rowand, Iguchi, PK, Dye, AJ, Crede, Uribe, P Why would Rowand hit second? He's had 16 AB's in the two hole all year, and its not time to move him. And Gooch third? Has never hit there all year. Especially with how he's looked bad with some swings recently (at least, I think he has), putting him third (which is where the best hitter should hit) doesnt make sense. My lineup would be this: LF Podsednik 2B Iguchi RF Dye 1B Konerko CF Rowand C Pierzynski 3B Crede SS Uribe P --- Just move everyone up a spot :/
October 18, 200520 yr AJ bats 5th against any right handed pitchers. Rowand bats 5th against Lefties. Crede starts hitting cleanup after his 9th home run of the series.
October 18, 200520 yr Pods Iguchi Dye Konerko AJ Rowand Crede Uribe Pitcher pretty sure that well be it, not much change if at all, has gone on during the playoffs, and i doubt ozzie will change the lineup now.

Crede starts hitting cleanup after his 9th home run of the series. Agreed for the most part, though with how bad Rowand has looked in the thus far, I'm not sure I want him hitting any higher than 6th. I'd say just make it Pods-Gooch-Dye-PK-AJP-Rowand-Crede-Uribe-P against both LHP and RHP(even though AJP did have a .627 OPS against LHP this year...with 0 walks...how do you have about 90 PAs and have 0 walks?)
October 18, 200520 yr I think we line up darn well in NL format. The only person we lose is Everett, and as far as I can tell, he hasn't done anything useful in the playoffs. He was among the worst DH's in the league during the regular season, for that matter. We can use Everett (who hits switch), Ozuna, Perez and Politte (no, I'm not kidding, if we are about to put him in anyway) as pinch-hitters nicely. And with Crede and Uribe hitting pretty well in the post-season our lineup is pretty strong up-and-down: Pods Gooch Dye Paulie AJ A-Row Crede Uribe P
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) With how well he has been hitting, do you bat Crede 5th? I would think about it...and then...no, I want him to scare people near the bottom of the lineup.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) With how well he has been hitting, do you bat Crede 5th? I wouldn't. Why change a good thing. If it ain't broke....
October 18, 200520 yr I have as many righties in a lineup at houston as possible, with our batters they could hit a ton of homeruns... In Houston i think Widger becomes a legitimate threat off the bench
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) how do you have about 90 PAs and have 0 walks?) I think Reyes in NY (NL) went like 125 at bats this season before he took a walk.

October 18, 200520 yr crede needs to stay near the bottom of the order. i mean, crede and uribe are both swinging hot bats, and when you see guys like that at the bottom of the order, you have to pitch to them or else they have to go to the top of the order.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Timo to bat 5th he knows the pitchers seriously, yeah. i love timo.
