Second Worst Team in RBI?

[Gantry]

When you have two horrible hitters, the lefty wins out....  Backman can get the lefty hit, not to mention anything positive he does can end up producing runs, thanks to the pitcher...

I have never had that bad of luck with Nails.  He gets on base a lot for me.  Most of the time, I slap it to deep short like Gantry spoke of.  He can beat that out easily.  Then sometimes I let him swing from the heels and he can put it through the right field wall for a homer.

I played 2 games yesterday with the Mets against the computer, which is pretty much straight pitch, Dykstra and Mookie combined for a 1 for 19, with probably about 12 pop-ups. I couldn't believe it, those 2 guys pop up like it's their job.

This is probably why Lenny got on the juice, he was tired of having no power in RBI, and hoped that in the next game thay woudl give him some power.

i would put mookie and nails up as the weakest 1-2 combo in the league.  all that speed, what a waste.

[Gantry]

I would probably agree with Nails and Mookie being the worst 1-2 combo in teh game, which is doubly scary considering most people keep them both in....

[Gwynn3k]

now that i think of it... whats the difference between those two and coleman-smith.  the only thing besides the uniform is that mookie has more power than ozzie...  but who besides a pitcher doesn't?  coleman and nails always hit it in the air even though they are quick.  all four are lefties with rare clouts of fence scraping homers.  the fact is they all four suck and if the cards had better subs we would be discussing who to sub in for those two also.  and then there is tom herr   uggghh.   talk about crap... he has to be the worst 3 hole hitter in the game.  

[Gantry]

Coleman/Ozzie and Nails/Mookie are very similar, but I would say that both Vince and Ozzie are faster than their New York counterparts.  Usually that doesn't mean much, but when both have no power, you gotta go speed....

Tommy Herr is ass, but he's no Denny Walling....

[Gwynn3k]

either one  it doesnt matter   bad 3 hole hitter on an even worse team.  i would agree that the birds are a tad faster than the boys from queens.

[Dill]

I am going to have to disagree that Mookie has more power than the Wizard.  Mookie only gets the lefty hit.  The Wiz has hit a couple of homers along with his specialty, the triple down the right field line.  

[Stuart]

I don't even remember ever hitting one out with Mookie.  On the other hand, Ozzie always seems to be good for a clutch HR, ala the 1985 NLCS.  Of course the clutch HRs came against another friend of mine and Dill's named Tyler.  The kid has a lot of heart but just can't get it done in the close games.

[Dill]

Most of you straight pitchers (and Tyler) may not be keen to the idea of manufacturing runs.  In our close, low scoring games, a run here and there will make the difference.  Bunting, hitting and running, making a key switch late in the game, stealing bases, conserving your pitchers' stamina, these are what the game is all aboot.

[Stuart]

The key to our games is the use of the BP fastball.  Since you always have to be prepared for the movement, a BP fastball can be used effectively.  It  conserves pitches and keeps the starter in for 7 innings or more.  Then you can go to the pen if you have an effective one and the game is in your hands.  

[Gwynn3k]

the bp fastball is a catch 22 cause you want your starter to last but if you dont locate the pitch well it wont matter who's left in the bullpen cause the game will be out of hand.
