If (when) Hamilton is batting 2nd again tonight...

[Glen]

What are ya gonna do?

 

I'm sure I'll make a few angry posts here, but outside of that, not much. 

[Torridd]

I really don't think it matters where he's hitting while he has this approach. He'll eventually come up in a big spot.

 

We just have to hope that there's nothing wrong with him and he'll get his head together some time before the contract ends.

[Brent Maguire]

It won't affect me because I know it's coming. Maybe a rant or 2 after he goes 0-5 with 5 K's. 

 

He might, or should, sit though since a lefty is pitching. 

[fan_since79]

I can't wait until he goes on a little tear in June of 2016.

It matters when the best hitter on the team is batting in front of him and he doubles him up or strikes out.

I won't give a sh*t. I think we've all wasted way too much energy on this team and it's simply not worth it.

It's like getting mad when Taco Bell gives you explosive blood diarrhea. You knew it was gonna happen when you bought that volcano burrito. The resulting anal gore came about because of your actions.

Nothing will change, because no one criticizes him, that matters.  Look at the post game questions.  And when someone does criticize him publicly, they are called a hack writer (TJ Simers).  So they continue to live in their own comfortable cocoon.  

 

Nothing will change, because we are all lemmings catering to the rich, and taking it up the ass while asking for more.  Nothing will change, when there are 33 thousand lemmings buying tickets to a subpar product, just because of an ugly hat.  

 

Hamilton will continue to bat towards the top of the order.  Blanton will be wheeled out there every 5th day.  This world runs on money, and there is no financial reason to change it.

This is sad but 100% true.

Everyone has criticized him for his performance to date. Simers is called a hack because he is. It has nothing to do with him being critical of Hamilton. 

[Lhalo]

I'll be pissed, but I'll be even more pissed when The Big Catorce lets Trout sit at first just begging for Hamilton to GIDP.

Everyone?

[nando714]

I really dont care

The guy is so hit or miss.

[Stradling]

Does it matter who criticizes him? If Scioscia puts him in the two hole then it's on Scioscia. I think Mike has proven that he doesn't care about criticism.

[T.G.]

I have learned that I can't worry (too much) about things I can't control.  I'll hope for the best wherever they put Hamilton.  I think putting him in the #2 hole was a worthwhile experiment.  How long he stays there is another issue.

[wopphil]

I am 100% convinced Hamilton was on PEDs the last 5+ years. There is almost no other explanation for how bad he has become. His contract is going to go down among the worst in baseball history (right there with A-Rod and Pujols).

It was an experiment that didn't work.  If Sosh is going to keep him in the line-up, move him down to the 9 spot until he proves he can be productive, if that ever happens.

[Lifetime]

So somehow he has snuck his PED use in despite being tested 3x per week? He must be a frickin genius to pull that off. 

[Torridd]

What do you realistically suggest? He has to play and he won't bat eighth or ninth like some have suggested.

Not the Gettysburg Address, but I like it.

If he was on Peds, why did he suddenly stop? He was just as likely to be caught last year or the year before as this one.

Yes

There was no real competition for Hamilton when he became a FA. Arte ended up bidding against himself. The fact that Texas didn't go all out to sign him should have been the Red Flag for all other teams. It was a stupid move by Arte to sign him to that bloated contract after his secon half collapse last season.

Four more years of his declining abilities and eight more of Albert. This franchise will be hamstrung for yhe duration of these megadeals.

Remember how pissed Texas was when they said Hamilton didn't give them a fair chance to sign him?  That sorta invalidates your point about Texas.

Seattle had offered 4 years, 100 M.
