Red Mosquito

Walker, Gallaraga, and Staub are wasting a great season so far by Raines.

Confident.

Interesting...

Semi Permanent LineUp Changes!
Against RHP-
1- CF- Cobb
2- LF- Granderson
3. 1B- Norm Cash
4. 3B- Miguel Cabrera
5. SS- Trammell
6. 2B- Gehringer
7. RF- Kaline
8. C- Avila

Against LHP
1. RF... Kaline.
2. CF- Heilmann
3. 1B Greenburg
4. 3B- Cabrera
5. LF- Colavito
6. SS- Trammell
7. 2B- Gehringer
8. C- Freehan

I wish my spreadsheet tracked lefty/righty splits.

I would've bet large sums of money that Cobb's and Avila's numbers would be reversed.

Is this until further notice?

Hentgen outpitches Maddux, Gruber hits an inside-the-park homerun, Olerud with a pair of homers, including a grand slam, and we get out of it with a sweep of the Cubs despite 6 passed balls by Delgado in the two games.

Yeah, I was gonna ask how you felt about the Delgado thing. I mean, you won both games, but man was he awful behind the plate.

It's tough... it would be a no-brainer to keep him in if he had hit well enough to make it worthwhile, but he didn't really do a whole lot. We kind of won in spite of him, so I'm undecided at this point.

I bet he gave the team a needed emotional boost.

Major changes may be coming to the Reds lineup.

Get the Hawk in your lineup!

Frank Robinson's struggles are surprising.

yes sir. and unless it bombs terribly, I think I may go this route for awhile. If Colavito stinks, i may adjust that one, but i am going with this for awhile. Im just mad neither Gehringer or Whitaker are Right Handed

Intangibles!

Looking at my stats, Delgado has a 1.005 OPS in his two starts and a handful of pinch-hitting appearances. Whitt has a .644 OPS in 8 starts.

If that's the difference I'm looking at going forward, I'll take my chances with Delgado. I'm in desperation mode right now, anyway.

Against RHP


2B- Joe Morgan
CF- Babe Hermann
RF- Vada Pinson
1B- Ted Kluszewski
LF- George Foster
C - Johnny Bench
SS- Barry Larkin
3B- 1973 Pete Rose




Against LHP

RF- 1973 Pete Rose (R)
3B- Barry Larkin
2B- 1975 Joe Morgan (R)
LF -1977 George Foster (R)
C- 1972 Johnny Bench (R)
1B- 1970 Tony Perez (R)
CF- Eric Davis
SS- Dave Concepcion

Alright, until further notice run this lineup against both left and right handed pitching:

Ellsbury (CF)
Boggs
Ramirez (RF)
Yaz (LF)
Foxx
Nomar
Pedroia
Varitek

Alright, lineup changes have been made in the OP for the Tigers, Reds, and Red Sox.

Tough couple of weeks for Fisk. He gets dropped from the White Sox team for Sherm Lollar at the last second, and then gets benched for Varitek after ten games in Boston.
