Ana Izturiz batting 3rd? WTF

[flacapper]

What am I missing?
He sucks
Thats 2 abs already hes fucked it up
Bases loaded 3-0 count and weak fly ball to right
This is a bad mistake by Mike

 

[flacapper]

He's been batting 3rd for a while. Sciosca likes him and Kotchman in the 2-3 spots b/c they work counts

I hear ya but the best hitters need to be 3rd
too many spots come up and he blows!! 3 homers batting 3rd?
This is crap they are winning but its still wrong

Good solid hitter.

You dare question Mike Scioscia?

He did the same thing last year. Scioscia is on his way to his 5th postseason appearance in 7 years. Tough to argue with that.

I hear ya i think theyd win even more if had better hitters up there

Yeah Maicer has batted 3rd for a while. Makes little sense.

Optimal lineup in my view is.

Figgins
Izturis
Vlad
GA
Hunter
Kotchman
Kendrick
Catcher
Matthews.

Can flip flop Kotchman and GA and possibly correct to do so, but the main thing is to stagger it left right. Mike overthinking it a bit imo.

This is the best line up

Figgy
Howie
Kotch
Vlad
GA
Hunter
Rivera
Mathis
Izturis

Not bad, but you need someone more patient in the 2 hole to let Figgy run.

One of these days he will learn he needs to bat Howie 2nd or 3rd
