[bone3421]

if we dont snap out of it for this four game series we could be in a lot of trouble...............

 

[romeo212000]

Yep. We could very well dig a hole too big to climb out of.

 

[scotsman1948]

with no offense and average to below average pitching at this moment we could easily drop all 4

I know we have to split just to keep ground.

I'll settle for a split. Thanks for the offer.

Murphy in the 7 spot, with Profar, Andrus and Kinsler in the 1-3 spots

Sorry didn't realize Kinsler came back, I was out of town for the weekend and obviously didn't miss much

I'd like to see Murphy out altogether but it's a vast improvement over him hitting second.

Angel Hernandez behind the plate tonight. Get ready for some fireworks!

Probably has something to do with the fact that Murphy has been better against RHPs than Gentry or Baker

Also - Baker is still out nursing his thumb jta.

Well that just adds to the point, doesn't take away from it

I hate that pile of stool.

Sounds like they are working on it with Profar. I hate to see them take the risk of an arm or shoulder injury by putting him in the outfield but if it gets Murphy some time off then it may be worth the risk.

Murphy ( .210) is be better than Baker (.317)?

isn't Baker out right now with a jammed thumb or something?

This does not surprise me with Murphy struggling and the fact he will be a goner next year. Profar is too good not to be playing up here for keeps. A radio talk show host discussed this possibility two weeks ago after a Ranger game.
It just reinforces the notion that the front office never had any plans of any trade involving Profar whatsoever. Its time to trickle in some of the young talent.

better against RHPs, Baker does most of his damage against LHPs

 

[jta4437]

I decided to include the other obvious options, regardless of health, b/c I haven't been able to watch recently and I'm not up to date on my injury list

 

[jta4437]

better against RHPs, Baker does most of his damage against LHPs

Murphy .672 OPS vs RHPs (.204/.271/.401)

Baker .599 (.237/.256/.342)

Gentry .506 (.163/.241/.265)

Didn't say Murphy has been good against RHPs, just better than the other obvious alternatives, and having forgot that Baker was still hurt due to my being out of town, he's been WAY better than Gentry against RHPs this year

Though Gentry offers the added advantage of a vastly superior defense

 

[fanman8825]

Well guys lets try and slim this lead to two and get some momentum
