Shuck instead of Bourjos?

[FabulousFabregas]

Pinch hitting with Shuck instead of Bourjos?  WHAT THE @#&! WAS SCIOSCIA THINKING!?!?

[The God of Runs]

That really shucked

[WallyWorld]

I'm as mad at Dipoto for having such a thin bench with this payroll.

[disarcina]

Not Bourjos' spot. Don't know much about Schuck but he must have some potential power - didn't see i there.

Scioscia never does Righty/Righty when he pinch hits.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I think Sosh was keeping Bourjos for pinch running duty in case someone gets on in the 8th or 9th.

Righty/Righty is irrelevent when you are talking about a guy with 2 and a half years of big league experience compared to a nobody.

[HeavenlyHalos]

It's beginning to look a lot like baseball season.

[Eric]

This is National League ball. You save your bats for the double switch in the bottom of the 8th.

[jshep]

Certainly didn't miss these threads.

[stevestevens]

Shuck knows how to hit in that ballpark because he came from the Astros and has played there before.  It was obviously the right move. 

[fan_since79]

No Conger there?

 

Never mind. Forgot we have only two catchers.

[FabulousFabregas]

Certainly didn't miss these threads.

I certainly didn't miss The Fat Man's piss poor managing.

[FabulousFabregas]

No Conger there?

I get no Conger since we only carry two catchers, but no Bourjos I do not understand.

[Taylor]

Am I first the one to say,

 

Schuck sucks?

[WallyWorld]

No Conger there?

 

if you use Conger, then what happens if Iannetta gets hurt - you literally have no catchers left.

[FabulousFabregas]

Shuck knows how to hit in that ballpark because he came from the Astros and has played there before.  It was obviously the right move. 

81 major league AB's is great experience.

[fan_since79]

Right. I'd forgotten that.

[Taylor]

F'n National League.

[Inside Pitch]

Righty/Righty is irrelevent when you are talking about a guy with 2 and a half years of big league experience compared to a nobody.

 

You really think Bourjos, a RH guy with 208 Ks and a .301 OBP in 851 career at bats was a better option than the LH  guy with the .359 OBP and 7 Ks in 81 career at bats?

 

Looking forward to your defense of Peter Bourjos when he has a poor game.

He has no potential power.  He's a bad Reggie Willits. 

[rageous]

Shuck has almost zero power.

He is pretty much Reggie Willits with less speed.

[T.G.]

and so it begins...

[YouthofToday]

What did Scioscia call for the sac bunt? Terrible.

[Storts]

Phew, well done getting out of that
