AirScott Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I don't know how to word this right, so I'll just give examples, like on Tuesday night, when Timo Perez was playing in RF for Dye, Timo batted 5th. or when Pods was out, and Ozuna and Timo always hit leadoff, or today, Harris played instead of Iguchi and hit in Iguchi's usual number 2 spot. is there any reason behind this, or did he already make 162 lineup cards, and just has to fill in the names every day?

AddisonStSox Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Be careful. All I'm saying is... He makeees da fhacking lineeup. ...continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 LOL I just think he likes to keep the lineup as consistent as possible, with playing as much players as he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Gardenhire has proven to me that lineups COULD be overrated. Jose Offerman as a cleanup hiter for a stretch as a playoff team makes me question everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirScott Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 how did they do in that stretch, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I don't think it's a big deal that Ozzie switches the line-up around. It's been working for him so far, plus it gives the guys fresh looks at different orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Not THE stretch btu for a stretch of time and they didn't miss a beat. It's probably overrated in the American League but very important in the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Revenge At Last Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Find a line up and stick with it. Dont pull a Dusty Baker and have about 120 different line ups. ::sarcastic number but you know what I mean:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirScott Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 I was asking for the Twins stretch with Offerman as clean-up hitter, I know what the Sox record is. and the lefty-righty matchup thing doesn't fly here, because I'm not talking in -game substitutions, I'm talking players hitting out of place in the lineup.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It was very weird seeing Timo bat 5th . How about Gload ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 If they're winning, I don't give a damn if Timo were to bat 3rd followed by Pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
