Swingandalongonetoleft Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Game is on CSN. I guess I'm going to this one on account of tickets that I purchased some time back. With NFL starting today, I expect maybe 7 or 8 others are making the same decision I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not play some of the young guys to see what they can do, especially since the season is basically over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So the platoon is De Aza and Lillibridge. Got it. I would hate to be able to judge if Lillilbridge could hit RHP and De Aza LHP consistently because we would hate for them to be overmatched in September and give an indication for 2012. Maybe Rios will hurt himself looking a fool against a 88 MPH "heater" down the middle again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) I don't get this. No reason to play Rios over Lillibridge and De Aza until next spring. Nobody needs protecting and matchups mean nothing. Rios is not doing anything either of those two have not already done tenfold this season. The 8th inning at-bat last night continued to show how embarrassing Rios is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
