What was the point bringing Sands up??

W t f I'm so sick tired of seeing Rivera hitting pop ups or weak flyouts... Let sands play man....

I am so tired of it too. Rivera is king of pop ups, if not dps.

Loney or Rivera, they both blow chunks. Let the kid play. Give him some ABs dammit.

Amen! Why bring him up to sit! Ridiculous!

Rivera hits another DP to leave bases loaded......we scored 0 run when bases were loaded with Ethier up...

Why can't we just dump Rivera and let Sands play regularly vs lefties.....

this is disgusting....

It's maddening!

LOL, now its James Loney pinch hitting instead of Sands......

I bet you Jerry is being sent back before Friday's game for scrub Kennedy, and Uribe isn't going anywhere.

Exactly, its not like Jerry can do much worse than .250 which is what Rivera/Loney provided us through out this entire season so far, knowing that its more than likely that the Rivera/Loney combo isn't going to be better than .250, why not give Jerry a chance to see what he can do on daily basis, he had 3 ABs the first game he was called up and NONE since.... really? NONE....?

Dylan Hernandez: Jerry Sands will be optioned to triple-A Albuquerque to clear a roster spot for Adam Kennedy.

Lol perfect timing......

OUCH, seems like i had a perfect read on the situation..... I guess Don isn't comfortable with a rookie down the stretch, he would rather have more experience players (Rivera/Loney) during the peanant race...

Oh well, Rivera/Loney do give better ABs than Jerry, even though there is no up side... Guess we'll all have to settle for them for rest of the season....

Even though you're right I would let Loney play as much as possible and use Rivera for lefties only. James always has a good second half and Rivera recent at bats have just been atrocious.....

Indeed, Rivera's DP today was disgusting me, up in the zone slider, and he happened to jam that pitch into a double play..... ouch

Rivera game in and game out has some of the worst AB's on the team. Yes, on Tuesday he had a couple of Dodger Stadium fly outs, but for the most part it is weak chopper after weak chopper to the left side of the diamond. I understand why Mattingly pinch hits for Loney against lefties, but what has Rivera done to not get the same treatment against righties. We all knew he was bouncing into a double-play when the bases were loaded.

There is no way they are going to buy a new Loney contract this off season....

I can't wait until we DFA Uribe,Rivera,Kennedy and Loney. With that said I would rather see Loney everynight than any of the other 3. Why? because at least Loney has paid his dues and has been with us the longest. He has great defense and tends to have better 2nd halfs. Out of all these guys when Rivera comes up to bat I go take a break(make food, chores, pick up after my dogs etc). I cannot watch another Juan Rivera at bat.
