Wish Mac could catch but don't wanna risk anything with him.
Probably the best we can do at this moment.
I'd rather try to get BJ going than play Laird. Have Gattis catch. Hopefully we will get out to a big lead and then maybe BJ can get an AB or something.Originally Posted by NYCBrave
It seems pretty clear from the lineups of the past week or so that Fredi is going to go with Elliot Johnson over Uggla in the playoffs.
BJ is 0 for his last 16 with 9 Ks. He had his chance to get it going earlier this month and failed. It's a lost season for him and he doesn't deserve any more chances. Plus, there are only 2 games left anyway.
Was just about to say this.....
He hasn't been going all season what makes u think he will in 2 games?????
see this post time after time about getting him going, he is not going anywhere..he had
his chance for most of the season time has run out..
Fine, em I think Laird sucks just as bad as BJ, but BJs defense and speed on the bases heave forbid he gets on base, outweighs anything Laird brings to the table. I would rather see Bethancourt catch than Lard
Actually, nobody sucks as bad as BJ. Not sure if you haven't been watching the games or just don't know the stats, but BJ is hitting .106 in September with a .367 OPS! That's 5 hits in 47 ABs, with 21 strike outs. Now I'm not saying Laird is an amazing option, but BJ should not even be considered.
I'm fine with it. More innings in LF may make Gattis slightly sharper come the post season. THe last 2 games of the season won't change the season BJ has been having. Even if he went 8-8 with 4 homers I dont' think he makes the post season starting roster. He'll be invaluable off the bench as a defensive replacement (cause Gattis isn't good in LF) but we have to let our starting OF play and gel as much as possible. Hopefully we win and St. Louis loses so we can just let them get 5 or 6 innings in tomorrow then rest them.
Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
At least we dont have to hope to STL to lose, if we win we countrol our own destiny
I'm at the game...my first one in far too long. Super stoked.
Looks like the cards will throw Westbrook tomorrow instead of waino, that's a break for us and makes sense for them to have him gm 1 of NLDS
What a crock of ****. Yankees-Astros is on instead.
They will never bypass Yankees or Red Sox on MLBN. Geez
Minor is such a stud.
Minor is a damn good pitcher. This inning has been fluky. He isn't getting hit hard.

Wainwright pitched today
Minor is still afraid to pitch to contact.

With 2 in scoring position?
