fathom Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 30, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) What is this about a slump? Crede has consistently been this bad since he's been a starter. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to get him to not suck. He will never even be an average hitting major leaguer. He is pure garbage. Milkman....you know guys like myself and Jabroni agree with you. But even for Crede, this is a massive slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'm guessing Crede has an injury *wink wink* and may need to sit a few games. He's not playing himself out of this slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I guess this is the wrong place to defend Joe Crede, all of you just want his blood. btw, he has 1 sacrifice hit (bunt) this year, 7 total in his career. Garcia, as a pitcher, is expected to bunt with runners on, I'm sure he was practicing his bunts before he pitched. and yes, Crede should learn to bunt, help us out in other ways than defense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> More excuses for Cruddy's suckiness. If he can't even hit, he damn well better learn how to lay down a f***ing sac bunt. Otherwise, he is worthless other than his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 QUOTE(Wanne @ May 30, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Now that's funny!!!! Seriously...the argument aside from throwing Fields into the fire too quick...could he possibly be any worse than Crede? I just can't take seeing this dude in the lineup anymore. Like somebody said earlier....ENOUGH! I'm with ya. Thing is, I think the only reason that we continue to deal with Crede is that he's solid in the field. And with fielding being such a high priority on this team, I think that unless we can find a good hitting 3rd baseman that fields nearly as good as Crede, we'll be stuck with Crede. Joe Randa comes to mind, but the argument for him has already been beaten to death. So, I'll just leave that one alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Fields strikes out a bunch and he makes a lot of errors. like Borchard and Drew Henson and Chris Weinke and Josh Booty and Quincy Carter, he's a football player who lost valuable developmental time in college playing spring football. I'm more excited about Schnurstein at A ball. he's having a decent season and doesn't K nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're referring to me. which I'm not, but like I've said three times now, you even need to practice bunts. I bet a bunt from Frank Thomas would look the same way, because when was the last time he bunted (his would probably be a lot worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 There is no excuse for Crede not getting down the bunt successfully. He was supposed to properly execute, and he didn't. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Maybe Ozzie might want to try hit-and-runs with PK at the plate and decent speed on the bases. If not, we're just begging for a double play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Fields has 10 errors in 47 games. Also 58 Ks in 174 at bats. That's Borchard like. As for Schnurstein, 12 errors in 47 games. He has 36 Ks in 173 at bats. Looks like neither guy is the answer defensively for sure. And there are plenty of questions offensively. Can Carl Everett play 3b?

KevHead0881 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'm almost as sick of Pauly's act as I am with Crede. At least Pauly doesn't have a history of suckiness, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a bunt from Frank Thomas would look the same way, because when was the last time he bunted (his would probably be a lot worse). Now, you're comparing Crede to someone who hasn't played in a MLB game in almost a year? Not only that, Crede is the number 9 hitter, not the all-time franchise home run leader. Crede definitely has been asked to bunt before, and I think he's done a pretty solid job in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 It is rare to have all 10 guys playing well at the same time. Hopfully Crede, Paulie, Dye will pick up the slack later when others ar struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
