Back to back starts for BA. I'm sure he wasn't expecting this. I hope he looks a little less crappy at the plate today than he did last night.

Anderson at DH? That makes absolutely zero sense. It should be-Anderson CF, Erstad LF, Mack RF, Ozuna DH.

Erstad at CF you mean.

Wow, that is a terrible lineup... It should be something like this...

 

LF, Erstad

2B, Iguchi

1B, Konerko

C, Pierzynski

3B, Crede

RF, Mackowiak

SS, Uribe

CF, Anderson

DH, Ozuna

 

I dont understand why you DH your best defensive OF, and have your worst play the field.

 

Erstad at CF you mean.

Anderson is a much better CF then Erstad is, I dont care what anyone says. Erstad might get better jumps, but Anderson has better speed, and gets good jumps also, with a good throwing arm. Erstad would also be ideal for LF because he throws lefty.

What's the logic behind putting AJ in the 4 spot over crede? Just another left righty thing?

 

Crede typically has more power.

Anderson is the superior defender and no one will convince me otherwise.

He is when he's not dogging it out there. He hasn't looked spectacular in his time out there. He's made some fantastic plays and showed what he's capable of, but he's also made some dumb plays.

But AJ has been doing better at the plate. Besides for practically running into a few, Crede has looked like his pre 05 postseason self...

Are you talking in left or in center? There's no excuse for the ones in center.

I was talking about CF.

Hell no

Back to back starts for BA. I'm sure he wasn't expecting this.

 

Who the hell was? That's the most shocking thing I've heard in weeks.

Looking at the radar there is a lot of rain west of Chicago. If we even get this game in it probably doesn't end until around midnight.

Wow. So here's an obvious question...why not put Anderson in the field? If we're stuck into having Ozuna, Anderson, Erstad, and Mack all starting, why don't we DH Ozuna, since he's by far the biggest liability in the OF. Anderson in Center, Erstad in Left, Mack in Right?

 

What's the problem with that? It makes too much sense?

Because, unfortunately, Ozzie makes the f***ing lineups.

Why would we put Ozuna who is a disaster in LF and keep Brian who can catch a ball as the designated hitter. Why wouldnt we take advantage of Brians best asset, his D.

 

You know Kong can DH and we could play Erstad at 1st. We have no flexibility in the OF now. Yuck.

His play speaks for itself. The kid cannot read the ball off the bat, luckily he is fast enough to make up for it.

Having speed is anything but luck.

 

Put Anderson in CF where he belongs.

Regardless of whether or not Anderson is better than Erstad in CF, I think we can all agree that Anderson is better in LF than Ozuna.

Ozzie is really backing himself into a corner with this one he's pretty much made his best defensive outfielder ineligible defensively tonight. If he wants to pinch hit or run for anyone starting in the outfield or if god forbid there's an injury he'll have to play another non outfielder out there.

 

I don't really get why he'd leave himself so little flexibility. Is he trying to make a point by putting Anderson at DH? Because there are better ways to go about doing so.

Anderson at DH tonight? Erstad at DH last night? That's like DH'ing Timo.

 

Oh wait...

6 guys in the lineup are batting .230 or below

How many teams have their DH lead off one night and the very next night have the DH bat 9th?

This is one of the ugliest lineups... I have ever seen.

 

What are the chances this game gets cancelled? Please let it be high.

I don't know if it's gonna work, but Ozzie sure has guts. He's getting flayed for this one, I'm become an Ozzie backer and I'm shaking my head. He really doesn't give a sh*t what everybody says.

At least there is only one below .200. Its been three or four of those most days lately.

Not blacked out!
