Molina has the hottest bat in our lineup in the post-season....nothing to see here, please move along...

I'll give you Wilson or Juan, but Molina? Nope. Molina should have batted.

Yadi hit .348 in the LCS and you don't want him up in the World Series!?

Actually, the guy who shouldn't have batted was Encarnacion. It's a miracle the game even got to Edmonds, Wilson and Molina.

Juan and Wilson are automatic outs. Give me Dunc and SO any day. They aren't that much worse defensively if at all.

No, not at all. A big hit against Aaron Heilman in a tie game does not mean that I want that hitter batting with two runs down in the ninth inning. Granted, I don't think Wilson should have been up there either.

Duncan is batting .169 for the postseason, and hasn't been hitting well for some time. He's a better bet than Wilson, but not better than Molina.

Molina's shown discipline and a willingness to take the ball the other way if pitched away. Duncan has shown neither in the postseason. All we needed was a single...I think Molina was our best bet to get that.

I cannot fathom how someone could be an advocate of Duncan -- at least over Molina.

Molina had (coming into the game) a cumulative batting average of .325.

Duncan was at .167.

It's really easy, no matter how good Molina is doing, Michael hates him.

If I wanted to hit Duncan, I would have taken out Wilson.
