If Rios gets torn apart tonight, they better not proceed to play him two more games in a row against Andrew Miller and Sabathia.

 

That would just suck, because we're already sticking Dunn out there where he's gotten what, 2 for 68 or something like that off lefties?

 

 

 

Rios 8/30, 2 doubles, 3 RBI's career against LESTER (those same 3 RBI's equal his totals for the last 100+ plate appearances)

I hate the Rios move. You just won 2 games in a row without him and now you insert him back into your lineup.

 

Wouldn't be so bad if he was actually decent defensively this year. However, that hasn't been the case.

 

Lillibridge should have been starting last night as well as tonight.

Not sure if you want Lilly against a knuckleballer pitcher, that might make his swing even bigger, if that's possible?

 

But you have to question "benching" Rios and then turning around and putting him back out there a couple of games (both Sox wins) later...we already went through this same situation when he was pulled from a game a month or so ago and then singled out by Guillen....then he backtracked and stuck him back out there again.

 

For whatever reason, Ozzie just can't seem to permanently doghouse any veterans...other than Nick Swisher.

 

But young players like Anderson, Beckham or Hudson seemed to have much less rope to hang themselves with.

I think we all have to accept the fact Rios will start. You knew it would happen. Now if benching him a couple games translates into some hits and hustle then we will look back on it and say it was the right move. But, if he pouts and sluffs in the field it's time to really get serious about moving him regardless of the cost

He hit Wakefield hard earlier in the year and righties are much better against Wakefield. Thankfully Gavin pitched well and we got a timely homer.

Alex Rios

 

713 OPS at home (that's fine, not great)

433 OPS on the road (basically, he should never see the field again outside of Chicago this season)

 

Kind of funny, since he's been getting booed more and more in the last 6 weeks at USCF, and yet he's incomparably better in front of the home fans.

Bizarre split.

 

 

 

Heath Bell looking like he's going to the Rangers, Cardinals second favorite...

Lillibridge has also been a much better hitter during the day compared to at night.

 

900+ OPS in day games, around 700 during the day. Yeah, yeah, small sample size.

 

And only 12/64 since June 1st.

 

 

Ordonez with a sharp line drive to CF for the first Tigers run. Only 17th RBI of season for Maggs.

1-0 Tigers heading to top of the 5th.

What's wrong with DeAza?

What's with the Lilly love? He and his big bat can't hit da ball.
