If Rizzo keeps on struggling who else could we play at firstbase to find a hotter bat to get in the lineup. Zobrist? Bryant? Maybe a chance to get La'stella in at 3rd or get soler in?

A) they aren't going to bench a MVP candidate.
B) if they did it would be Baez playing 1B or Bryant as those are the only two who've played there to my knowledge. Cogs might have as well for an inning or two but pretty sure he didn't start at 1B.

Rizzo would have to be hurt to bench him.

He had a spell of bad play. He was seeing the ball a little better tonight, hopefully this means he will start breaking out of it. Seeing a parade of lefties doesn't help much either.

LOL at OP and his crappy two posts. What will be his third? Can trade Addison Russell to the Yankees for Torres?

No way you bench him. You might argue change his position in the line up (not exactly a fan of that either). Definitely not that, this isn't the regular season, not the time to be working on things.

I thought this was going to be a thread about how most of you dorks can't get with a girl to first base.

Only way Rizzo gets benched is if he's hurt. He's arguably our best player. No damn way you sit him in the playoffs. He'll figure it out.

Nobody.

Rizzo has as much chance of being our best player in the next round as anyone on the team.

This is ridiculous, to say the least.

LMAO....Post of the year! Let's bench an MVP candidate! He struggled in the NLDS and his teammates picked him up. He will be ready for the NLCS!

The only thing stella should be doing is cleaning up champagne bottles after the men are done with them.
