fathom Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:18 AM) This board would be all over Adam Dunn's ass. First of all he won't be coming here so forget it IMO. Second, he strikes out about 1 time in every three at bats and has the tendancy to swing for HR's, hence the low rbi total despite the high HR total. The grass is always greener is guess, especially in the game threads. Look at the comparison I made with Pods approach when he was on the Brewers. Getting away from the Reds would be great for Dunn's approach. Also, the NL Central has prolific strikeout pitchers, especially the Cubs. The AL Central doesn't have as many strikeout pitchers in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAFTR Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Manny ramirez is my favorite outfielder. I really think that is why he is leading the league in assists. He makes those errors, baserunners go for the extra base and he throws them out.

They both drive runs in at a very bad rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his clutch stats, please. I never said they were the same player but they're similar in the fact that both have low ba's and swing for the fences a ton.

I have a feeling he's pressing a little with Frank out. Before Frank came back, Everett was struggling big time also, as he couldn't even make contact with the ball it seemed. Everett's swing is so much longer tonight than it was for the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) Does our offense realize they're facing Miller? No one can credit Miller because he's been throwing, on average, two straight fastballs down the middle of the plate per AB and EVERY BATTER is just behind it. Offense deserves full criticism. These pitiful displays against a shoddy pitcher is exactly what lends people, such as myself, to question our team's offense. It's not overreacting after one game. It's a constant pattern of our offense putting together poor AB's, failing to string together hits, and most importantly, overrelying on the HR. Look at the ball Manny missed in LF. If that would have happen to us, this game would have been cut wide open. f***ing sad we can't even take advantage of extra opportunities to score against this scrub.
