DBAHO Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) If Marte was healthy, you can bet your ass Cotts would have been in to face Johnson in the 5th inning. I tend to think Cotts has become to other key setup guy with Cliff Politte to use late in games with the way he's pitched in the last month. That said, the need for a lefty LOOGY is just magnified whenever Kevin Walker pitches from the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 05:04 AM) Huff's average isn't much better than Crede's and he's only hit 6 homers. I like him, but I heard a scout talking about him on the radio, and they said he isn't the hitter he was a couple of years ago. His bat has supposedly slowed considerably. He may be a right handed Ben Grieve. Considering Huff is lefty, that might be hard to do. However, every time I watch Huff bat, he seems to hit the ball hard. However, Crede isn't going anywhere. Did you hear the Sox PR machine, Hawk, praising Crede tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Zoom and Rowand, I just looked at the stats -- sub-700 OPS. Wow, I didn't realize he's been that bad this year. I'll keep my mouth shut. Like I said Keith there has to be something wrong with him, just watching him play a few games this year you can tell his bat speed is so much slower then in years past.

Milkman delivers Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I hope Cotts isn't deciding to come back to earth. That would suck. God, this game blows in every sense of the word. There's two more. f*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) The offense is fine. We score plenty of runs. No need to upgrade. The difference between Randa and Crede is 15 hits a season. Funny how the Twins didn't trade for him because they thought he was average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Every single f***ing game in Oakland seems the same. We play like minor leaguers, and Oakland just seems to retire every batter from the 4th inning on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Now, try and get 4 runs, if not shake this off and take the series with Jon and Mark. This has been an ugly game no doubt but it's just that, 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been an ugly game no doubt but it's just that, 1 game. I'll be happy with one out of three. Hot Oakland + House of Horrors + West Coast = Bad. Even with the best team in baseball. Get us one, so we can take four out of six on the road trip, and I'll be really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankensteiner Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 12:01 AM) Everett's numbers against righties the last three years are .288/.361/501. Sounds like someone we should keep to solve that potential problem. I included Everett in part because his defense (or lack there of) is the most easily replacable on the team, at least if we're talking about adding a left-handed power hitter.

No, that's not even close to being the only reason. We've been able to atleast compete with them at home, just strange things happen when we're out there.
