Revised Houston Review

[Stock]

My problem with Dykstra/Wilson is that they are pretty much the same person, and I feel that one has to come out.  They both have very weak power (to put in perspective.. about 20 less power points than shitty buckner).
Dykstra is very fast, but is the weaker of the two.  Wilson is still pretty fast but gives up a few power points and has worse contact.

I will normally keep Dykstra in and put in HoJo #2.  You keep the left bat in the line-up and add about 45 points of power (over 100 in the first AB).  Then Heep for Backman and Mazzli for Santana.
I like to keep teuffel for that one needed AB late in the game.  He can be the 3rd most powerful hitter on the team late in the game.

I've used Timmy Two-Step late into the 7th-8th inning and he's good for getting a decent clutch single or two. Lately however, I've noticed that Keith Hernandez is just like Kevin Mitchell on the Giants...it's his week. It must be that 'stache making all the decisions because he'll either ding the shit out of it, whiff uncontrollably bad or line out to the 1st baseman. There are no other ways for him to hit.

Mookie is pretty good, but yeah, HoJo's not a bad bench player either. I still stand with Mazzilli though for the pure reason that I hit a grand slam off of Bert Blyleven. My friend Kyle called me out on using Mazzilli to pinch hit with "Oh yeah, like Mazzilli's gonna do anything...garbage!" Next pitch I pulled it for a Natural and got the slammie. I stilll lost to Minnesota 15-11, but that specific move put my faith in the former Orioles manager to hit off the bench.

My Houston strategy is to avoid getting stuck with Houston, and then throw a tantrum if I do.

So does that happen on a daily basis?
