greg775 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 10, 2017 -> 03:06 AM) Beck is a disappointment. High hopes when drafted. He looks like meat. Was he really a second round pick? Or am I mistaken? I hate the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 How could Saladino miss that pitch? I guess he's not as good as I thought. League musta caught up with him. He can't hit. I was fooled. Really thought he was a big league hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was but he completely tanked his draft season which caused him to fall that far. It has nothing to do with draft slot like you refuse to acknowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like being shocked that a Browns QB sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Do you think baseball is getting boring with more and more horrible teams? Is baseball near a hitting crisis? I have the Royals game on TV here and the Sox on the computer and Perez slashed a ball right up the middle. DP because of the shift. Players won't even try to beat the shift.

greg775 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) If I come to a game or two this summer, what's my best bet for great great seats at a low price? I need the Southside ballpark experience again. Edited May 10, 2017 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players won't even try to beat the shift. Greg, homers are WAY up in baseball this year. The problem's not offense, it's your perception, because the White Sox and Royals are terrible offensively. It's like taking a point about the Big 12 in football or basketball and attempting to extrapolate it to the rest of the country. Be careful about your bias. As far as "terrible" teams, there's simply a lot of parity, a few days ago 18 out of 30 teams were between +3 and -3. MLB is happy, the Yankees are on the upswing with a potential marketable star in Aaron Judge, the Cubs are the Cubs, the Red Sox are competitive, the Dodgers will be in the playoffs again...the only issues are resolving the stadium problems in TB/St. Petersburg, Oakland and what happens with the Marlins' franchise.

Lip Man 1 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Well it was dog day at the park based on the pictures of the pets I saw...and the Sox played like dogs. Jennings is rapidly lowering himself into being as bad as Pelfrey / Covey and Beck. Keep reminding yourself it's rebuilding and break out the tapes / DVD's from better seasons.
