Is it time to sit Fields for at least a game?

Arby is now batting below .240 and he can't bunt for shite.

Early chance to move Jones down to 3rd on a sac bunt early, but he Ks and Jones eventually gets stranded at 3rd

Nice bunt, at the end, but everyone should sit after that game..Team was down, maybe it was the loss of Ross. Heck, bigger arguement for Rhymes sitting, after that game, than anyone else...and that ain't happening.

He started cold, got hot, but is really having a rough stretch right now. Tonight he seemed like a double play waiting to happen. I don't know if he needs to sit, but he seems like he's not letting the game flow right now, and I cringe when I see him up with runners on base.

Arby has been in a 3 week slump.

Raph just had only his 6th game without a hit all season.

And? His 1st of the season and it was a surprise play.

He definitely doesn't belong in the lead-off slot since he isn't getting on base.

Move him down to 9th and put Hanover at the lead-off.

They should have bunted him 2 other times in the game and this could have been different

and he put down a hell of a bunt to get on base

not saying i disagree with you about him sitting, or batting lead off, but to call him out on "bunting" after the one he laid down tonight is questionable

This is at least a little funny considering he bunted for a basehit his last at bat.

Haha, fricking Hanover blows right now. How does switching Hanover for Arby benefit us? Seriously. How?

Not saying he is better, but I think Foster deserves another shot especially against righties.

If not you put Edwards in right and move Katz to center.

Doesn't. Bunt enough, Guy has the speed to steal but does not get the opportunities to do so.

If we start benching every player that has a slump and the plate we'd have a whole new lineup pretty soon. Hitting is not this team's strength.
