Thursday's MLB Best Bets: Luis Garcia, Adrian Houser, and the Strikeout Watch List

For the second straight day yesterday, we didn't get a manager with the stones to put at least five guys from our watchlist in the starting lineup. It's just proof that these guys know what's going down on the streets. They know we're on to them. It's that simple. A lot of people would just give up after two straight days of being stifled by MLB managers but not us. We know that we need to keep the pressure on these people. It's the only way. At some point these guys are going to slip up and when they do, we'll be there to catch the benjis. All of them. We just have to stick to our guns and be ready. It's actually pretty easy on a day like today where we don't have many games. This is actually the perfect day for them to slip up.

Remember, when they are released, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups. If that happens, we can ladder these guys to the moon. Maybe further. If you don't see at least five guys in any of these lineups, abort mission. Leave the ladder there and move on to the next. Climbing a broken ladder just isn't smart.
