Balta1701 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) Why not? Seriously. If he's good enough to be in the lineup, he's good enough to bat 4th. He's been hitting better as of late too. Last 7 days, .579 OPS. Really...he hasn't been hitting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) I believe of the three (Pierre, De Aza and rios) rios has the lowest OPS against LHP but sure rios brings those intangibles like lackadaisical play and not knowing how many outs there are with 2 outs in 9th that you just can't teach. There is absolutely no reason to continue to play rios He hits better against Minny than any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for your sake that you're just trolling....but even at that point...who trolls a White Sox message board? Trolling a large message board with a ton of traffic I can understand...but trolling a board with maybe 20 active posters? Do not get.

How can anyone with any sanity think it's a good idea to bat a hitter with an OBP of .253 in the cleanup spot? Have you started drinking early?
