Mr. Showtime Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I've seen a few people here say that the team doesn't win when Gload plays. I went ahead and checked to see if it was true. The Sox are 33-26 when Gload plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Gload's only redeeming qualities are his pinch hitting capabilities and his defense from the 1B position. He can't do anything else. His baserunning instincts are bad, bad, bad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 >What about when he starts? I think that is the version I keep reading. In games where Gload has more than one AB the record is: 14W-13L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 In games where Gload has more than one AB the record is: 14W-13L in all other games then, we are 38-29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 That's not as bad as I thought, also. Wonder what his record is the last 3 weeks when he starts. It sure seems they lose a lot when he plays, but the stats are proving otherwise I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 Full breakdown; which is much more scary. April: 5 games with more than 1AB 2W-3L May: 9 games more than 1AB 7W-2L June: 8 games more than 1AB 2W-6L July: 5 game more than 1 AB 2W-3L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 There should definitely be an upgrade for Ross Gload available, at low cost. While I understand he may have some redeeming qualities as a defensive 1st baseman, this latest baserunning blunder is just not acceptable. I would take Olerud over Gload in a hearbeat.

We have a couple great replacements, unfortunately they are on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Gload's baserunning on Rowand's double was atrocious. Big turning point in the game. Timo should always play over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
