Leading 12-2, 7th inning, experienced guys still in the lineup

There's no point keeping Rollins, Utley, and Ruiz in this game.

Who should play instead?

 

[Cedrique]

that's true. Imagine if someone got hurt and was unavailable for the playoffs.....

Do you want to give Rupp a whole extra 2 innings behind the plate? Seriously, who cares.

I mean they should have been taken out when it was 7-1. Rupp for Carlos, Freddy for JRol, Cesar to 2nd for Utlley, JMJ to CF for Cesar, for example.

It's just not worth it IMO. Let the vets get a couple more at-bats. It's not killing the rookies' development.

12 games remaining. Doesn't anyone want to see if Rupp can hit? Ruiz is back. He's proven it. I don't want to see what Kratz (.201) can do. They should play Galvis/Hernandez at ss since JPop needs some pressure. But I forgot, they want Jimmie to hit his 200th homer this year. The whole point of bringing the pigs up is to play'em.

Play the young guys and let Sandberg get some cohesiveness going because sooner or later, brain-dead is going eff things up because the man can't help himself!
