bjm676 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I wonder if Pods is going to start pressing soon and change his swing. I mean, he hit 12 HRs last year. He has power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) What a strange reason to dislike him. He's got a .350 OBP with a billion steals - is it his fault he doesn't get driven in? Do you want him to steal home? That'd be pretty cool. You never see it anymore.

Rowand44 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) He's the most overrated player on Soxtalk. Everybody loves his stolen bases, but not only can he not drive home runs, he doesn't score that many. Scott's actually been pretty damn clutch this year, he's batting somewhere in the neighborhood of .330 with risp and 2 outs and him not scoring runs isn't his fault.

southsideirish71 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Last year in the beginning of august we couldnt hit, struck out a bunch of times with men in scoring position. Kicked the ball around and lost like 11 in a row. This year the only reason that isnt happening is pitching and defense. But our offense is blowing dog. Small is a lot of things, but he is not a strikeout pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i know his job is to get on base, but when he comes up w/ 2 outs he needs to try and drive the ball.

We are winning because of pitching, defense and the mental state Ozzie has this team in. Everything they do offensivly can be questioned except Iguchi (although I would like for him to stop giving himself up.) Do you get the feeling they are almost afraid to change things up? It seems every other week we are talking about being in a huge slump? Have we come from behind in a game since the beginning of July..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we need with men on. If he hits a line drive into the gap it scores 2 and sets up the inning for another run. And now its not just me, Belton Bill, Farmio, Rooney and others have made comments about how we are near last in the AL in doubles and singles. And how that is a disturbing trend. Looks at our K numbers, they are pretty high for a small ball team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) What a strange reason to dislike him. He's got a .350 OBP with a billion steals - is it his fault he doesn't get driven in? Do you want him to steal home? When the One Dog and Ray Durham and Tim Raines were leading off, they all scored 100+ runs a season. Its not his fault he doesn't score all the time, although he could hit a homer every now and then. I think its a flaw in the smallball or smartball philosophy. I always agreed that stolen bases were undervalued, but I'm beginning to agree with the Billy Beane guys that they are overvalued. Pods isn't even in the top 50 for runs scored, and considering how many times he has been caught stealing and picked off where it was not ruled a caught stealing, his OBP is distorted. In reality it should be about 40 or 50 points lower. Edited August 10, 2005 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
