what's so classic

is that the guys who hit in GIDP with RISP are not guys that hit into a lot of double plays. Its like russian roulette. Either way, the offense just seems to have lost all life today. I’m not pinning it all on Soriano – with guys like Fontenot and Dome in the lineup you’ve got real problems.

Nope

Can’t be worse than 0-3 so far, and Sam plays better defense.

Fuld has been hot, Soriano ice cold

no one may know, but we can all agree he literally couldn’t have done worse

by WanderingWanderer on Jul 3, 2009 2:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

sure he could have

you cannot just plug him in and say “HUR DURF DUR DUR FULD GETS A HIT!”

but drew your blind loyality and support is teetering on insane at this point.

you don’t even offer constructive critiques. I haven’t heard you mention one thing even remotely negative ever about fonzi. its okay your allowed to be upset at him.

I've said

that he needs to rest several times. You all can be blind to that if you want.

but even you have to admit soriano is KILLING US RIGHT NOW. your objectivity has gone by like soriano flailing away at sliders low and away

I'm pro Sori

but I think Dome or Milt could of sat today out for the hot hitter

No...

He shouldn’t. DL Soriano already.

Someday we'll go all the way...

WHY SHOULD HE NOT PLAY FULD?

HE IS HOT AND HE CAN PLAY CENTER FOR DOME OR RIGHT FOR MILTON AND LEFT FOR FONZI. WHY SHOULD HE BE DEAF TO PLAYING FULD WHO HAS HOT HAND

up there you say he needs rest.

but down here you say he needs to play. Which is it?

He had two days of rest

he can’t start hitting again without being in the lineup. Fuld is a nice backup. He’s been dazzling in two games. But he’s not a replacement starting outfielder.

im not saying long term.

but short term while he is hot and b4 teams get scouting reports. like fontenot two years ago for a month. scales for a couple of weeks. pie when he got his initial call up. i could go on and on.

Sori's sat two games, Dome or Milt should be sitting for him today

I guess

Not sure anyone in the league fears The Riot’s bunting skills, though. If I were McGehee, I’d just stick at the bag.
