[QuinlansMinion]

We need to win 6 out of our next 7 games in order to have any shot at making the postseason.  We also need Houston to lose again tonight.

Let's do this!!

 

Go Halos!!!

unbelievable. 

[tennischmp]

Murphy and Perez should be playing every game

[Stradling]

Perez is playing every game.

[Angel Oracle]

Uhh Scioscia, Murphy can hit lefties.

 

Just say no to Victorino

No he is not

[Homebrewer]

Cant blame Catorce for doing now, what he has been doing all year, to get this team a game over .500.

Gotta stick with what's working.

[beatlesrule]

I'll excuse Scioscia for playing CI since Perez needs a day off.  I can't excuse no Murphy though.  Whatever.

[Stradling]

No he is not

He is a catcher and he started seven straight games that's playing everyday.

Completely agree. No Murphy makes absolutely no sense. We need to be putting our best players out there every game.

[fan_since79]

Our cleanup hitter is batting .208 since August 1st, with a .597 OPS.

In fairness to Scioscia (I can't believe I'm saying that), it might be Murphy's .517 career OPS at Target Field.

[Homebrewer]

But this is what, the third year that Target Field has even existed?

Since 2010. He's had 23 games there, 86 PA. It's his worst OPS of any American League park.

Wow...it's the 5th season in Target?

Where does the time go?

[JoJo26]

Perez is fvcking 5 of 7 in the last 2 games....and he's resting.

Murphy is the only guy of the 3 retreads Stony picked up who's actually good.,,yet he sits (BS on that Lefty crap...Kole plays daily).

 

Scioscia must think it's still spring training...AYBAR? The effing worst lead off turd ever!

 

I know we're done...but the skipper is an fat boob....Enjoy your post season pasta in about 3 weeks....

Your intelligence is disproportionate to your Scioscia is Italian food and fat jokes. Also Perez has started 7 games in a row. As fans we ALWAYS want the best players on the field, sadly it isn't possible.

What is Victorino's?

[Blarg]

.681 OPS in 6 games.

Huge. I can see why Scioscia has opted to start him toinight.

[Stradling]

Nice start Hector
