southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 So far in the 2000's Maggs and Pauly are the decades leaders for GIDP http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...yson&id=1726395 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 LMAO...I'm not surprised at all about PK. But Maggs? That's why anytime that commercial about Maggs hitting behind a runner with guys on base came on, I would laugh my ass off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthsox Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yes interesting that Maggs leads Kong, who'd a thunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 LMAO...I'm not surprised at all about PK. But Maggs? Maggs has always always been the Sox leader of GIDP or at least since 2000 and maybe before that until PK gave him a run (get it, run) for the money in 2003 I have always hated to see Mags at bat with 1 out and a runner at 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 It doesnt help that Frank is in front of Maggs. I cant even count how many times Frank gets to first and Maggs proceeds to GIDP. SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I want to see where Carlos Lee fits into that list. My guess is he is pretty high as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 I want to see where Carlos Lee fits into that list. My guess is he is pretty high as well. He had 20 last year, and 57 during the decade of the 00's. http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/leeca01.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 C Lee has grounded into 57 double plays from 00-03. Oddly enough, he only had 5 in the 2002 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Any idea where that 57 ranks in the AL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Any idea where that 57 ranks in the AL? That is a lot less than the 84,83 by our guys and the 80 by Jeff Bagwell, so I imagine not too high, but it doesn't say on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 C Lee has grounded into 57 double plays from 00-03. Oddly enough, he only had 5 in the 2002 season. Yes yes, i had a talk with Carlos in 2002 telling him that he had to make a one webgem a week and only hit into 5 double plays. Then i forgot to tell him about last year. I dont know, i think its just the White Sox way of raging the hell out of the fans, give some hope, and then ruin it all by hitting the 6-4-3. Everyone seems to do it, and Mags and Kong lead the way.

SB I don't think it is Frank's fault Mags hits the ball so hard and given the position of the infielders with a runner at 1st, it just happens - that is my theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Ahhh let's just say we're both right and drink to many less GIDP's this YR!!!! well of course if you drink every time we hit into a double play, you'll be passed out by the 5th inning every game!

Rex Hudler Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 You are both right..... guys that hit the ball hard and don't have tremendous speed hit into more DP's. And trying to pull the wrong pitches definitely adds to it, especially if the hitter is good enough to still hit the outside pitch hard.

Pastime Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 You guys should lighten up on Konerko. I'll have you know he spent 6 weeks this offseason at the "Cecil Fielder Speed Camp." Maybe once you see his new wheels, you'll leave the poor guy alone. He actually looks like he's moving now when he runs. The 2004 White Sox new slogan - "We No Longer Have Moss Growing On Our Baserunners." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 C Lee has grounded into 57 double plays from 00-03. Oddly enough, he only had 5 in the 2002 season. Carlos must have been hitting behind Clayton that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofIChiSox Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 This is from February 5, so it's pretty old and may have been talked about before, but Jayson Stark did the leaders for the 2000's. If you go down about three quarters of the way, it has the "Lonely at the Bottom" Most GIDPs -- Paul Konerko 84, Magglio Ordonez 83 (NL leader -- Jeff Bagwell, 80) That's a nice stat to know. The two most GIDPingest players in the 90s are both on our team. How much of that is on the Big Hurt's shoulders? What about Manual's? Do you guys think it'll change? All those GIDP's definitely hurt the Sox a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 another reminder of why we need guys like Willie Harris, Rowand and Jeremy Reed to step up and break up the 4 X 100 relay team in the middle of the batting order.
