Swish is in a bad slump and this is not the time of year to let things ride. You dig a hole and it can get deep in a hurry. Seems like Gardner ends up in the field in the later innings anyways, so it shouldn't be such a significant thought to let him start. You play the guys who are hot, and Brett Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777748549842099189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-24836155025747260522009-10-29T13:42:20.138-04:002009-10-29T13:42:20.138-04:00And thanks for the kind words at the beginning of ...And thanks for the kind words at the beginning of the comment, Joe.

If Brett Gardner makes a start gets on base twice during a game, he'll have done something Swish has done twice in ten games this Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839022142066882411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-25217034045661068282009-10-29T12:32:47.091-04:002009-10-29T12:32:47.091-04:00Jay,

Teix has been awful as well, we aren't suggesting sitting him. Man did he look awful in his at bats yesterday too.
