Guess who WON'T be hitting 7th tomorrow!!

[Horn69]

No more.

Hook'em!!!

I dont know, having his power down the lineup seems to be working, why mess with a good thing.

 

[trekoclv5]

Washington just said that he intends to leave the lineup as it is, of course that could change.

 

[sblazer]

the ONLY other choice would be maybe put cruz where young is since michael has been slumping in playoffs, but he had the leadoff hit that last inning(or maybe switch with napoli up to 6th)... ... so i'd keep the lineup as is...

 

[Hook 'Em Danno]

I'd say leave well enough alone until something happens to prove otherwise. I suspect Wash will do the same.

 

[Horn69]

There's NO freaking way you leave Cruz at 7th. You flip him with Napoli. Leave Young/Beltre alone. Could very well create a spark for the Napster.

Hook'em!!!

Can he play 1B?

 

[Horn69]

I think Young plays there today with Torrealba and Nap both in the lineup.

Hook'em!!!

Loves me a man who wears his pants down to the shoes....

 

[Horn69]

And, alas, he doesn't get to bat in the 9th because he remained in the 7-hole. Damn.

Hook'em!!!

^^^^I'm as optimistic as the next guy, but the 4-7 hitters were a combined 0-15 tonight. It wouldn't have mattered. The Rangers were bound to lose at least once at Comerica, where they have won only 4 out of their last 21 games (IIRC). They need a strong outing from Harrison to take game 4 before Verlander gets another start.

 

[Horn69]

Sure was glad he was hitting 7th tonight.

Hook'em!!!

Cruz is hitting just .207 for the playoffs. You guys act like two 11th inning home runs with a total of 5 men on base is some sort of big deal? You think he's a good hitter?

Meet the new Mr. October.

Cana ... I was just trying to have some fun. No question he's a good hitter and when he's hot he's about as good as a player can be. Heck, if he was a consistent .208 hitter but was coming up with power numbers in critical situations as he has been this playoff series, I'd live with it.

 

[Horn69]

Once again he was left in the on deck circle in the 9th inning. Both losses that was where he was when the games ended. Just saying.

Hook'em!!!
