Ca has the best bench in the game (top to bottom), All-Stars included imo.

This struck me as odd...  Cali certainly has a top tier bench, but best?  I disagree.  What does everyone else think?

anyone ever notice that if you drop a deuce on someones windshield in sub-freezing temperatures, its pretty damn hard to get off once it freezes.

In the discussion:

Ca, Bo, Na

Boston is the only one with 3 legit sluggers and I really think it is tough to argue against Boston.

The only issue is they're all righties.  And Sullivan.

I just wiped my ass then smelled the toilet paper.  What's wrong with me?

I'm a big fan of the Boston bench.  Armas and Burks are two of my favorite players and Henderson is certainly no slouch.

The righty issue doesn't bother me because I prefer righties.  And Sullivan is an immense turd...

CA/NA is a tougher decision.  I like NA, but I'm weird.

I said it once and I'll say it again - stock is smart

boston is the only one good enough where you have to talk yourself out of using almost all of them in the first bat through

Congrats Nomaaa.  Dee-Nee's new Sandwich King.

Stop talking to yourself, not healthy imo

And anyone who even considers putting Sullivan in the first time through the order has issues

Re-Peat

I always put in Armas, Burks, and Henderson the first time around.

I don't use Sullivan unless a pitcher was on his way out anyway, I never go out of my way to use him.

Is this a vote for bench to start the game?  Or bench as used late in the game?

This would change a lot of votes.  If use properly, Boston's "bench" is used up within 2 or 3 innings at most.  Then you have Sullivan as the only bench player.

I put in Armas at leadoff, and Burks gets subbed in for Barrett.  I use Hndrsn more sparingly, and only use Stinky Sullivan if someone threatens me.

Boston has the best players on the bench, but I think CA depends on their bench more. CA is a pretty shitty team with just their starters and Boston is a better team with just the starters.

When Mike says "leadoff" he means not leadoff.

I'm easily confused.  I meant Owen- Armas for Barrett..

Same here, with Henderson used sparingly, as you said before.

The bench with the best players...  doesn't matter how you choose to use them.
