fathom Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) If our team tanks then maybe we should look at acquiring some catching prospects that could start eventually. Tyler Flowers is an ease out everytime he steps up to bat. I still feel like if AJ's not back next year, we'll bring in Hawk's favorite, K.

southsider2k5 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) Flowers is 0 for last 13 with 8 strikeouts. He's also 3-28 vs RHP on the season. MY biggest complaint about Ventura is he doesn't use the bench nearly enough, especially the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he should get Danks a start tomorrow maybe. Hard to get too mad about it, as the bench has been just terrible this season. Flowers probably should have been starting yesterday instead of AJ, but Ventura is a believer in benching the starting catcher the day game after a night game.

But the bench is going to be horrible if the bench doesn't get any at bats. Double edged sword. Edit: especially if the bench has 3 rookies on it.

That's true, and I think we'd all like to see a bench player mixed into the regular lineup once in a while instead of the "Sunday lineup" we've seen a few times. Hopefully Danks is playing tomorrow.

greg775 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) That may have been the worst AB I have ever seen. 3 fastballs down the pipe and he is watching like he bought a ticket. That does classify as perhaps the worst at bat of all time. Good observation IMO. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger issue is he's up with a runner on 3rd and 2 outs with the #9 hitter up after him. You have to be trying to knock the run in there instead of drawing the walk.
