World Series: Texas Rangers vs St. Louis Cardinals

[rcaldw]

Listen, even if you want to keep Young's bat in the lineup, you HAVE to start playing a real first baseman on defense. Young is terrible there.

 

[Air Force One]

Young just has his head up his butt completely

I would also pull Young now

 

[utrunner07]

just plain unacceptable from young.

 

[UVAwahoos]

Do y'all bench Young if ur manager?

I would now

 

[rcaldw]

that has been a strike all night until now.

 

[cowboyeric8]

Blah. I hate this game.

id love to, but i still think it sends the wrong message to the team. he clearly has the skills, but as others have said just needs to remove his head from butt. IF we win, i make him buy his own ring though.

 

[trickblue]

Just get through this inning with Lewis...

 

[UVAwahoos]

Nolan Ryan looks PISSEDDDD

 

[Robbieac]

Double play time!

Respectfully ut... I don't think he has skills as a first baseman. If you say 2B or SS I can go with you, but not at 1B.

Hahaha. "Sorry Young...you will have to buy the Sports Illustrated subscription package like everyone else if you want to share in the celebration"

 

[Air Force One]

everyone is self destructing right now and Colby as usual finds the perfect moment to lose control

 

[utrunner07]

young screwed up royally.

 

[rcaldw]

We may win this game, but I honestly don't feel like Washington has done a good job this game.

THE BUNT
THE NON PINCH HIT
STARTING YOUNG AT 1B ON DEFENSE

Just some bad moves in my opinion.

 

[rcaldw]

We have to have the "good" Ogando here. He HAS to come through.

 

[utrunner07]

Respectfully ut... I don't think he has skills as a first baseman. If you say 2B or SS I can go with you, but not at 1B.

He has the skills to make the simple plays he has missed tonight, not a great first base man, but serviceable. Moreland is 1st baseman of future. At least imo.

 

[Air Force One]

the issue is do you want his glove at first (assuming we hold the lead here) base the last three innings? I know I don't. Again assuming we get out of this inning we have to protect this lead and I don't trust Young at first now at all tonight.

I agree with this. I love Mike, I might be his biggest supporter. He was great to have this season because you could put him anywhere. But he isn't a first baseman, he isn't a third baseman. What he was was a good 2nd and SS, but not better than Ian or Elvis. He is a DH now, just hard to do at an NL park, because it really is hard to take his bat out of the line-up.
