Three days ago, I started a thread stating that Chris Davis should sit, giving logical reasons. He preceded to go 3 for 4, and I immediately posted my retraction following the game.

...the ball is in your court gentlemen.

You're not holding your breath are you?

Nick proved me wrong and although he is having a terrible season and batting .270 and OPSing under .700, he had 3 hits today. Bravo Nick....Bravo. :rolleyes:

That's not exactly was you were looking for, though, is it? ;)

Nick had a good game, it still doesn't mean he should have been leading off.

But, the manager felt this was his best lineup and went with it.

So give Buck some credit.

Do you think Buck had some sort of advanced info that said a guy who hasn't hit in 3 months was going to go 3-4; or do you think he said in his robo-manager voice "my other two leadoff guys are out today, I have no other option."

Maybe, the guy with 1,000+ Wins under his belt as a manager, knows what he is doing?

Every decision he makes, people ridicule or make fun of.

If I disagree with a decision, I might bring it up. It doesn't mean I think I know more than Buck, I just disagree. Otherwise, we're just cheerleaders.

Nick has been struggling lately, but I bet his numbers v CC were better that the other two options Roberts and Nate. Also N ick has done well batting #1 and putting him there might get him going. Looks like it worked to me.

      Mountcastle activated, Jimenez optioned

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Loved seeing Eloy's enthusiasm at joining the team over the summer, but yeah it was way past time for this.  I didn't realize he still had options remaining, so I guess he's still around for a 'break glass in case of emergency' moment - hopefully he's done for the year though.  And declining the option is beyond a no-brainer, so that is in all likelihood it for Eloy as an O.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I've been fired up every day since my divorce hearing on 11/12/19. The third best day of my life. In all seriousness, life is good. Remember the 15 straight losing seasons? They're not perfect, but today is a new day and yesterday doesn't matter. Westburg, Urias, et. al. have returned, our BP is stronger and we have our best 3 SP set to go this series. We're 6-4 versus them this year, including taking 2/3 last time we were in NY. Pick your heads up a little bit. Will they win the WS? No, I don't think so. But guess what??! They've got a chance! I was at the game Sunday, and I'll be tuned in to every inning of the last 6 games. LFG.

      I need to be a better fan

      By Too Tall · Posted

      I don't think there is any way to be a sport's fan and not require some form of therapy. For me, OH is my therapy center. If you invest any part of your being in a sport's team, there is no prescription for tranquility. You just have to come to a strategy that best allows you to follow your team. Mine for the most part is to walk away and turn it off. Wife gets mad at me because I won't keep watching a game when we are losing or playing poorly. Says I'm not a real fan. She's probably right but I don't view watching poor performance of any kind as a good use of time. I also don't get too much into second guessing or modern statistical analysis. Not interested in coulda - woulda - shoulda and though I am awed by all the data, it's just too much for me to digest and use. I let you all do that for me. If I think it's over the top I may say something but mostly enjoy the read. In this way, OH has helped me get through the down years and the good ones too. And it's also great in between.  So, in some fashion, we are all addicted to a game - a team. The trick is to remember this is entertainment - not life. And that can be hard. Now beat the Damn Yankees and make me feel better cause the way you've been playing is killing me 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
