Agreed that Carlos needs some go-to-the-corner time in C-bus. Hammy mentioned during yesterday’s game in Toronto that Jays’ player Brett Lawrie had returned just a short time earlier from the Jays’ and that the time spent in AZ helped him out. Then Hammy added something like “I wonder if some of our players might benefit from that” or to that effect. My first thought just before he said it was “they should send Carlos down”. Too bad Manny seems to be reluctant to embarrass his player. *pfft* Can’t embarrass him any more than he’s embarrassing himself at the plate.

Santana needs to be sent to Cbus, Marson should be inserted into the line-up, and Brantley needs to be in the 5 spot. He’s hit more HRs in the last month than Carlos has.

As I watched the game today I thought to myself, how does this team win games? Absolutely no power hitters, not very good at situational hitting, inconsistent pitching, and a middle of the order who doesn’t bat over .250/hit very well with runners in scoring position. I would officially like to see Santana hit in the bottom of the lineup. I’m all for drawing walks but not when you bat in the 5th spot in the lineup and have guys on base in front of you. Take the pressure off him and let Brantley bat 4th/5th. I was all excited to watch the game on extra innings free preview (one of the few times I get to see the Indians in Charlotte, NC) and I almost had to turn it off. I haven’t given up on the season yet but I’ve already got that sickening feeling.
