WHarris1 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) Hopefully we don't score our 2 runs then fade like last night. Edited July 3, 2005 by WHarris1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) I don't get to watch the Sox a lot, but has Pods been taking fewer pitches over the past few months? Yes, quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Our 1-2-3 hitters look absolutely terrible up there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not walking as much. I think teams are realizing they are far better off making him swing the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Even though he popped it up last night, I would like to see Pods try to bunt for a hit more. He's not exactly tearing the cover off the ball at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) Our 1-2-3 hitters look absolutely terrible up there tonight. I don't understand why we bat Harris 2nd, just cause he's taking the place of Iguchi. It's ridiculous to have two slap hitters batting 1st and 2nd in the order. Pods and Harris aren't the second coming of Pierre and Castillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous to have two slap hitters batting 1st and 2nd in the order. Pods and Harris aren't the second coming of Pierre and Castillo. If one of them gets on base it actually works pretty well, great speed and bunting in the 2nd slot. If either of them gets on base it'll be a huge headache for the pitcher. Just wish they'd try taking a few more pitches or work on fouling off a few that they don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ozzie likes that Harris (normally) sees a lot of pitches. First AB he saw at least 6 (full count), and I didn't see his second AB, but I don't think it was very good. And, who else should he stick there? Rowand is the only other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) It seems like Pierzynski has had a lot of line-drive outs this year -- or, at least, more than anyone else on our team. I'm gonna have to check out his PrOPS (Predicted -- or it might be Projected OPS), 'cause Hardball Times factors in line-drive outs. EDIT: Should have said, to see if he's been lucky or unlucky.
