i hit a walkoff 700 foot home run with Glen Davis last night

[TempoGL]

and it occured when my opponent was trying to intentionally walk him...EAT IT

it went straight down the line and into the stratosphere. 

i love playing as Houston, it's like each win is twice as sweet.

And eight times as rare, do that math buddy.

Just kidding, glad you have your niche.  As a Ho Pro, Strassy, can you tell me your strategy with the team?  Such as who to sub in for whom and when?  I'm curious whether you play little ball, maybe having Lopes try to swipe second against a slow pitcher, bunting him over, then hoping for a sac fly, as this is kinda what I tend to do with Houston (against another weak team).  The hopes for a big break out inning are negligible as far as I'm concerned.

Ho definitely has the staff to back up the little ball approach.

Hou and small ball is a winnig formula...oh yeah, pitching has to be there. Run em like crazy.

[TempoGL]

my subs are usually garner for walling to provide "some" pop in the middle of the order along with Glenny Glen.  then i'll sub Lopes for Reynolds, unless I decide against going for the small ball approach, in which case Reynolds stays in and Lopes hits for Ashby.  if I take out Reynolds, Terry "Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame" Puhl hits 8th.  i wish there was a way to get Dickie Thon more than 1 at-bat, but it just doesn't seem possible.

[JoeDirt]

So Hatcher stays in the starting line up?

[TempoGL]

absolutely.  you can't fool anyone into thinking the team can hit, so your other option is speed.

[JoeDirt]

Interesting.  I feel that the best small ball is left handed small ball (to allow for the pettis)...is this not how you use Ho?

[TempoGL]

yeah, that and a lot of praying that i can string a couple base hits together

[JoeDirt]

Then would Hatcher not be a good candidate for replacement?  I can see if you're saying that Ho just has too many other holes to fill, but you also said that you can't find a spot for Thon in the line up...

[TempoGL]

you need to have a pinch hitter for your pitcher when the time comes

[Gantry]

I find Reynolds to be a better player than Doran, try mixing that up and see what happens...

[fknmclane]

Doran has to stay in, my fellow POOPYDICKS! gm is insane.

[General Zod]

Glen Davis is the best RBI player at grounding out to 3rd. 

[TbT]

I will pitch to Glen Davis in most situations.

Jack Clark is the best RBI player at drawing my IBB.
