Starting line ups ????

[MolsonBlue66]

Why does Gibbons always dicker with the starting line ups ??? Please don't blame it on the injury bug.....seems to me our inconsistency is a direct reflexion on how Gibby manages the ball club.

 

Why one day he goes with Reyes, Davis,Bautista to start then the next day he slides Bautista to the 2 hole ??? Kawasaki should be starting at second base everyday over Emilio Bono....Bono's bone head error yesterday puts us in a hole right after that error. Never seen a MLB roster so mixed up that you have to check the box card before every game on whos in and who out ,whos batting where and whos playing where........just my opinion ...!!!!!!

We have a mix and match group of infielders, that's why it's like that.

Plus, Davis been hot in certain situations so he put him in the 2 hole.

Lind came back so it made more sense to put Bautista and Lind behind him.

The game against Fister, we had good hits but then when they came to the bottom of our lineup, we were garbage. That's why we couldn't score 1 run in both the 8th and the 9th.

By putting Davis lower, you kinda help your bottom lineup a bit.

I'm 100% behind Gibby.

Reyes, Davis, Bautista,Lind,Rasmus,Derosa,,Izturis ,JP the idiot,Kawasaki with Edwin out due to injury. With Edwin back in the line up this should be our everyday line up with present available players on the bench.

Reyes SS

Davis LF

Edwin 1st/DH

Bautista RF

Lind DH/1st

Rasmus CF

DeRosa 3b

JP C

Kawasaki 2nd

 

The rest are bench players period.

Every team has guys who are in and out of the lineup. Look at the Rays - they have many players who play many positions, and hit in different spots for every game. And people think Joe Maddon is really smart.

 

Besides it's the pitching that has let the team down, the lineup has produced pretty much as expected.

 

I was about to post a comment on Maddon and the Rays but you made my point very well.
