chw42 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) What did Beckham do this time? Ran himself into an out at home? Where was McEwing when all this was transpiring? Yeah, pretty much. Harrison made a nice play though, so I can't fault him that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kageman129 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I really like that Santiago is named closer. Leave Thronton and Crain in the intense late innings like last year. And if Santiago f's up, Reed can move in. Santiago really looks like a good pitcher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 PK has struggled against Harrison. I think 1 for 13 now. Somebody else has to get the big hit. I was hoping Konerko walked or hit a SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Make that 7 for 12, Hamilton v. Floyd The dreaded inning after a blown scoring opportunity with RISP and no outs, which inevitably results in more runs scored for the opposition than even Hawk's dreaded leadoff walk stats.

kageman129 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Ventura has already shown the ability to be flexible with the line-up, so it wouldn't surprise me. But it's the kind of thing that Dayan will need to prove himself to Robin for at least 3 weeks or so before he pulls the trigger on that big of a shake-up. We'll just have to wait and see. At least we're playing the Rangers tight all 3 games, no blowouts (yet). I really like how Ventura is experimenting with the roster. Not sticking with the same crap every game. Switching it up to find the best combo. Hopefully Becks can do well in the 2-spot, thats the ideal line-up if we have 2009 Beckham in there.

kapkomet Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think if RV finds some consistency, you'll see some consistent lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely, but I like that he isn't just sticking with a set line-up right now. Like Ozzie did for long periods of time.

Well, that's true, and I get the opposite opinion to give guys some consistency in the lineup. My disagreement with that is when you go up to the plate, it doesn't matter what spot you are in the lineup, just hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
