This. SF is their best match up though. SF can't score either, these games will be one run games where anything can happen. Somebody who knows more about ATL than I, do they have a defensive replacement for Conrad late in the game? No way I would want him out there in the 9th.

They have a couple of options. One (and he may start at sometime) is to bring Glaus in at 3rd and put Infante back at second. The other option is Dior Hernandez. He's a MI who is pretty slick with the glove. Had Prado not been hurt, he probably wouldn't have made the postseason roster IMO.

Lead off hit for Posey (best young player in the game imo).

i figure hernandez in close, late game situations. very good with the glove

not a big bat, but can def. play the field well

Posey steals second as Burrell K's.

Posey was obviously out on that steal after seeing the replays

Agreed, MLB needs instant replay. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else but we were discussing how often umpires miss the call on steals at second. Usually it's the other way, if the ball beats the runner he's normally automatically out.
