Re: Postseason Scoreboard Watching

With Mojica K'ing the side you would think MM would bring him back out in the 8th...yes? I bet he benches him for Boggs, who has been less than effective lately.

Where guys play as kids has nothing to do where where they play as men and they get bigger, most players spent time up the middle at some point in their lives. He was moved to 3B because he couldn't play SS, he moved to the OF because he couldn't play 3B and he plays 1st because they have an opening and they want his bat in there.

Boggs hasn't allowed an earned run this postseason and there's no reason to stretch Mujica into multiple innings this early in the series.

Fixed that for you.

I agree. Now you're making stuff up, Hometown.

Where do they have the pregame show online, he's said it himself and he knows he's there to hit.

Of course he knows he's there to hit. He's a 1B or corner OF. They're all there for their bats.

And no, your story of him saying that simply is not true.

Nope. Source or you made it up...which wouldn't surprise me since you stretch so far to discredit any Cardinals player.

The guy himself is my score, if don't love the Cards like you so I don't save every video of they the say. The defensive numbers is all I need to discredit his glove work he's one of the worst 1B in the majors this year.

No videos saved here. But when I make a claim such as that, I back it up.

You made it up. Plain and simple.

His defensive numbers aren't from an adequate sample size. That's defensive stats 101 man.
