    Anyone else have Feirs possibly making it to the sixth after those 7 straight balls earlier? Says a lot to see him battle back after that.

    NAhhhh just common sense let's see

    Should Marwin play more? Yes
    Should you sit lowrie vs lefty? No. Why? Vs lefties you sit tucker and valbuena plus Rasmus is lefty so you try and not do it. Play with mat hips, right?
    Should conger play almost always vs righties? No. He is awful vs righties he does walk
    Should you move Gomez to the 7th spot right now? If he plays he has no business hitting second or fifth. When he stars hitting move him up


    Those are my positions today, do you agree????

    Fiers is a very good pitcher but did not look good in that inning. I was hoping for 5 but now I want 6 and maybe a more

    I believe your position today on the 5-2 game in the 5th is "The manager sucks. I know exactly what he's thinking and why he makes the decisions he makes. And I could do a better job."

    Can a forum member disagree with the manager? Or is that a sin? Second instead of going against a member why don't you place your opinion? Do you thing Gomez should hit 5th? So I can't even say that before some members attack? Hmmmmmmm

    And the funny thing is that probably you think alike as I would not believe you agree on Gomez hitting 5th or Gattis 4th or conger playing so much vs lefties when Castro is doing better against them

    Well trash me but I don't see arguments against mine, just talking no baseball issues

    It might be because you litter the board with opinions. People may agree with you, but making up 10% of the game thread with your own thoughts drives people away.

    great job by fields. I wonder if they'll consider using him later in games if he keeps doing well down the stretch

    the bullpen overall is rebounding nicely. I trust harris/fields/qualls/neshek/gregerson for the most part

    So can we finally unanimously agree that Gomez has no business being out there for a couple of days until he gets his head straight? I just can't wrap my head around what is wrong with this guy. I can't remember the last time I saw a "good" hitter hit this poorly for this long. Every game is just more of the same. At least move him out of the 4/5 hole. Rasmus is absolutely more qualified for that role at this point.

    WEll it is opinions about the game. Many of those post are about the lineup today and a player that I. The road was not used enough. Other members correctly mentioned the same about Rasmus. That is something we've seen about Hinch

    A game thread is to talk abou baseball and you know what? There are 9 innings and 54 outs and more at bats so you should see many posts I a game thread, that is what is for

    i think everyone was on the same page there. Not worth starting the discussion again (and I won't beyond this), but for clarity
    I think the disagreements stemmed from calling the trade a failure, etc.

    So far in not a bad trade because we got Fiers. If it was only Gomez then so far it would be a failure. Also trades are better judged after awhile, remember smolts?
