CrimsonFalcon Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I like the match ups as well, but I just have my doubts about KK. Maybe he'll surprise us all and have the game of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm more concerned about Johnson vs. Jurrjens. Not a knock on JJ, but Johnson is as good as anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Unknown is the guy that made game threads forever when we were winning every series.Yes but I have made the last 2 after that debalce in Colorado and we've done great. There for I get to keep making them till we lose a series. Hopefully it never comes to that.1.Infante 2B 2.Heyward RF 3. Prado 3B 4. Lee 1B 5. Diaz LF 6. Gonzalez SS 7. Ross C 8. Ankiel CF 9. Kawakami RHAnd Mac gets another day off against a lefty. This is driving me crazy. It seems everytime Mac has a solid game Bobby puts him on the bench for the next game. It's driving me up the dang wall! How does anyone expect Mac to get on a great roll when he's getting benched every few games?Thank God Melky isn't playing tonight!

R.C. Collins Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) And Mac gets another day off against a lefty. This is driving me crazy. It seems everytime Mac has a solid game Bobby puts him on the bench for the next game. It's driving me up the dang wall! How does anyone expect Mac to get on a great roll when he's getting benched every few games?Ummm, McCann Played 2 out of 3 in Colorado and pinch hit in the game he didn't start, played all three games against Florida and 3 out of 4 against the Mets. So he has started in 8 of the last 10 games and had AB's in 9 of the last 10. Edited September 3, 2010 by R.C. Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does anyone expect Mac to get on a great roll when he's getting benched every few games?A day off isn't going to keep McCann from "getting on a roll". It could, however, help him stay fresh for the postseason, where presumably he will play every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
