Just saw the score of tonights game and checked the box. Frazier is in left. Isnt he a fucking infielder? Dont we have Alonso sitting on the goddamn bench? Can someone please throw a hand grenade into the dugout and wake Dusty's ass up?!?!?

Cairo has to get his reps at 3B dude. Need vets for the stretch run.

Frazier has played every position except CF, RF and C. He has played a ton in LF, and it was his main position in 2009 and 2010.

It wouldn't be such a bad idea to have Frazier in LF if Alonso weren't languishing on the bench.

Well, it is a lefty on the mound. Plus Alonso did screw the pooch last night. He let a line drive drop that should have been caught, and that guy came around to score in what turned out to be an extra innings loss. He will get better opportunities than tonight where Dusty won't play him. I actually agree with not starting him tonight.

I'm just glad we still have Hernandez for the stretch run.

Without him I think Houston's AAA team sweeps us instead of just taking 2 of 3.

Well, he hasn't been playing that great recently. Hopefully he slumps for the next 2 months and becomes a type B free agent. That way they can offer him arbitration and he turns in down. A sandwich pick would be decent compensation.

I like all the talk today (from last night) about Alonzo taking groundballs at 3B.

Guy spends about a year learning to play LF, takes 80% of his plays in LF at AAA then comes up and shows he can hit no matter how bad he gets jerked around. So now we have a young, cheap LF who looks like he can actually fucking hit.

So what does Dusty do? Lets convert him to his early HS position of 3B (at the MLB level mind you) so we can find some AB's for him. :shake:

I know I shouldn't blame a moron for being a moron but the organization that allows this kind of buffoonery is getting what is deserves.
