Jim Lindeman turns 44 today

[TbT]

always #3.  herr blows, even though he hit 4-4 against me once with Nate.  Homer/tripple and 2 singles.  rat fkn bastid.  Herr is damn weak and Clark needs some protection of sorts.  mcgee has wheels so he stays in.

[JoeDirt]

So you take McGee out for the whole game then or does he typically get an AB?  Jeez, McGee only has a 789 power?  He is worse than I thought...

It really depends.  If there's two outs and 3rd hole up, I let Herr bat and save the 5 hole for Lindeman...I don't really care about McGee or Herr at all; I just want to create a situation where Clark/Lindeman bat back-to-back without there being two outs and bases empty.

[Gantry]

Makes sense Joe...  Looking at the numbers now there isn't a ton of difference between McGee and Herr.  McGee beats him in every real RBI category, but none of them are by too much.  I always considered McGee to have much more pop than Herr, but the numbers don't lie. 

Did some quick updating to the McGee page while I was checking this out:

The quotes Shitpaw in there are quite good, especially a shocking one from Whitey Herzog

Well, in my opinion this is flawed because inning one you might have Coleman and Smith get out right away.  Then you sub in Lindeman with two outs and nobody on.  Pitcher has to face him because Clark is on deck, but if he can get him out, then he can IBB Clark in inning two.   However, if you let Herr bat in that situation:
a) he gets on base and then you have Clark and Lindeman up next with a man on, or
b) he gets out, but you get to lead off the next inning with Clark and Lindeman with no outs.

...just my opinion.

sexy point of view joe dirt.  im on it.

17 votes in so far, good work...  I'm now shooting for 20 votes to make it official.  Even if you don't want to talk just vote on where you put Lindeman in the order.  Future generations of RBI'ers will thank you...

[BeeJay]

Are you sure you can trust a group that votes for Wumpst in every poll to share its RBI knowledge? 

[Gantry]

Alas, but there is no one left to trust... 

[BeeJay]

No, there is another...

[BDawk]

There is another....Sky-Walk-er

[Nacho]

I leave all of STL's starters in, because I like to have some pop on my bench late in the game if I have to pinch-hit, and Lindeman is about the closest thing to 'pop' that the Cards have outside of Jack Clark.  In the past, I used to use Oquendo before I'd use Lindeman for nostalgic purposes (I actually remember cheering on Oquendo, whereas I don't even recall there being a 'real life' Lindeman), though I have since placed Lindeman ahead of hJose.

[Attezz]

Down 3-1 tonight, two outs, runners on 1st and 2nd, and who comes up in the 7 hole? Jim Lindeman, so of course me and Octo both sit up, Lindeman works the count to 2-2 including one MONSTROUS foul ball, but alas, he strikes out (possibly on a Blyleven sinker, not sure).

Lindeman got a double tonight in four games, not enough to warrant a happy birthday.

[Gantry]

Sounds like one of those situations where even if you are pitching against the guy, you want him to go yard... 

[Attezz]

He definitely got at least one pitch grooved to him, which of course followed Minnesota's 5 run 3rd inning which was sparked by a bop on Reardon's bunt, but unfortunately he didn't do anything with it.

For what it's worth, Reardon, in four games, had 20 IP and gave up one run, he was also 0-1 on the night.

i'f i'm going non situational and just thinking of a SL lineup i'd put lindeman 7th
