Scioscia Is a genius!

Putting Hamilton in the five spot = his first four hit game of the season.

If Scioscia is such a genius, explain the DeLaRosa situation.

Depends on who's available. Would you rather see Khon there

[fan_since79]

Yeah, what was wrong with Roth that he removes him after one batter?

I agreed with leaving Blanton in with a short hook and putting in Roth. Shoudl've left Roth in.

You are joking, right?

Yeah,and as soon as blanton gives up a homer you are jumping down Scioscia' s throat.

I believe the next batter was a righty?

Solo shot then yanking him, no problem. I don't disagree with pulling him after the baserunner going up. I just think it's silly to use Roth for only one guy when L - R - L is coming up, we're up by 3, and some of our best bullpen guys are unavailable.

I am sorry scioscia is not a genius. ... he is just logical. Anyone would have done that

Last three games     "Pen was nails"

Roth put a guy on with Beltre, a righty, coming up.

We are watching the same game, right?

Then the next batter after that was a lefty, so what gives?

What gives? Got two more lefties in pen.

[tennischmp]

What gives? Got two more lefties in pen.

But he didn't use them

Anyway, my post was about this working out for Hamilton, but go ahead and be negative and point out what doesn't work. It must be hell living with some of you people...or are you all single?

I apologize for derailing the thread a bit, caught caught up in the gameday vent thread mentality.

 

I agree moving Hamilton down was a good call. Trumbo has been hot lately and taking Josh out of cleanup appears to have helped him relax and simply make good contact and get on base instad of trying to press and homer.

My comment was more facetious.

[HaloNation]

Ms must have read this board, because we all said move hamilton to the 5th spot

 

lol

"Scioscia is a genius."

 

A.J. Pierzynski agrees.

Downs?

[mota_madness]

Scioscia is an idoit...

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

Your blazing logic overwhelms me.

[tennischmp]

Downs?

Not on the next right handed batter. Listen I'm OK is Scioscia micro manages and really does his Lefty/Righty match ups. But when he randomly decides to pull a righty after 1 batter because a left handed batter is coming up but then leaves that lefty to face a right handed batter and it backfires, well that on him.

We must not be watching the same game. He brought in downs with a lefy coming up. Washington used a pinch righty hitter to counter.
