AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Something is just bothering me about the offense lately. Jose is the definition of a streaky player. He either strikes out or hits a HR. Jose in the two hole is killing our offense. How many successful teams have a #2 hole hitter hitting in the .230 range... I'm sure that their aren't too many. What makes this even more insane is when you have a hot hitter who keeps getting on base hitting well over .300 that keeps being throw into the 7th spot so when he has gotten on base he has been left on base by the likes of Joe Crede and Jamie Burke. I'd sure as hell rather have him on for Carlos Lee and Paul Konerko. and for all you people who say Jose is "clutch" remember that he can hit the same clutch HR in the 7th spot (and would be more likely to have someone on base). So can one person give a good reason for why Jose remains our 2 hitter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You have me on that one. I can't think of a thing. Damn tough question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You have me on that one. I can't think of a thing. Damn tough question. There really is no reason. Ozzie said in the postgame today that Jose is batting 2nd because he wants him to see more fastballs and I knew that was the reason ozzie was going to give but it's really a dumb reason. Everyone is going to see more fastballs and because of that they will hit better. Rowand is also a good fastball hitter, yet a much better top of the order guy then jose. Jose is great to have on the team but he's a power hitter and should be down in the order with his low obp, while aaron with his good obp and good speed should be batting at the top of the order. Not only that about aaron but he's probably the best bunter we have and the best base stealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Maybe we need to forward this thread to Ozzie then. I don't know how it can be so obvious to us and still not have had a change made. I honestly think Jose would even do better lower in the order... :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Jose has to get out of the 2 hole. I'd put Everett in there before him. I think Rowand would be the best bet there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I heard it was just to piss you off, that way you could spam the boards somemore... And that comes straight from Ozzies daughter/niece's, brothers, roommates, ex-bestfriends, old boss's, suppliers's, garbageman's, repairman's cousin. So you know it is good info.

Chisoxfn Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Your right, Jose shouldn't hit in the 2 hole, especially when he's in a slump. The Sox need to get some top of the order people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
