Pierre LF, Vizquel 2B, Rios CF, Konerko DH, Teahen 3B, Quentin RF, Kotsay 1B, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS.

 

I'll be the first to give fathom props for calling the Vizquel to #2 hole yesterday. (he also had Kotsay in today, but batting 9th instead of 7th)

 

Teahen 5th?!?! HALLELUJAH!! AJ 8th?! Ozzie must be reading my post recently.

I love Rios and Teahen in the top 5 but MUST Vizquel hit second? That's just silliness. I absolutely hate having 2 guys at the top who are in no way a threat to go for extra bases let alone reach base.

There's nothing better to remedy an offensive slump than a little Omar Vizquel near the top of the lineup.

Who else in that lineup would fit at hitting 2nd? You could put Rios there and Teahen 3rd, but then you've got Konerko protected by a guy hitting <.200.>

Works for me. f*** "protection" I want my best hitters at the top of the damn lineup, not arguably our worst overall bat hitting #2 because "he fits". I don't believe for a second that Harden's going to lay a 3-1 fastball down the pipe to Konerko because he doesn't want to put a man on base for Teahen. The theory of lineup protection is shaky at best especially when we're talking about Paul Konerko and Mark Teahen.

If you require Pierre to lead off like Ozzie thinks, then how about:

 

Pierre

Teahen

Rios

Aside from Vizquel and maybe Kotsay, I like it.

If we are going to have someone bunting in the two hole, why not have it be someone who can't hit anyway?

How often has that person bunted this year?

I assume you're allergic to latex?

 

 

I actually do agree with that statement though.

Vizquel and Kotsay can be replaced with Beckham and Jones.

 

With Jones in the lineup, I think you hit Rios second.

 

1. Pierre

2. Rios

3. Jones

4. Konerko

5. Teahen

6. Quentin

7. Beckham

8. Pierzynski

9. Ramirez

 

This way, somebody might be on ahead of Jones and Konerko.

Beckham and Pierre are both 2/2 on attempting and succeeding to sacrifice bunt this year.

Heh, the first two slots are the worst parts of the lineup. Ass f***ing backwards.

AJ?

AJ?

Since we're going with the bizarro lineup, bat him 3rd. Pierre-Vizquel-AJ. Awesomeness.

Hence my sig.

And the 5 sac bunts we have this season (AJ with the other) led to a grand total of 0 runs.

Of course...swinging away hasn't exactly helped that often either (Juan, last night, 7th inning, you SOB)

If Harden didn't struggle with his pitch counts so bad, I'd swear that Ozzie was setting him up for a no-hit opportunity with that lineup. Yuck.

The sad thing is, the odds are Vizquel will put better swings on the ball tonight than Beckham has recently.

I wonder how Thome could fit in that lineup. Nevermind, he just doesn't fit.

Feel free to post about benching Juan Pierre

nice weather in big D - 78 at game time

From the angle they just showed Harden throwing, I wonder if he ever gets any neck pain.

Hmm, Harden only got the fastball up to 85 there.
