southsideirish71 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Very rarely do PH numbers impress anybody. Many have said that it is incredibly difficult to pinch hit. Timo has a bunch of big hits, a couple game-winning. This is one situation where Hawk's "don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it applies." Timo hasnt been a pinch hitter. He has been our first bat off the bench. He has more ABs than any of our bench players. That is not a pinch hitter, thats a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:29 AM) Politte needs to pick it up, his splits so far this month aren't good at all. We need some momentum heading into the bottom of this inning. Your wish is granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about with RISP and two outs? .250/.308/.333. How about with men on and two outs? .192/.276/.269. Yep, certainly applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:30 AM) My line up tomorrow. Iguchi 2B Uribe SS Everett LF Konerko 1B Dye DH Rowand CF AJ C Anderson RF Crede 3B Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH. Everett has got to DH. He's still not 100 percent. AJP will be higher up in the order. I love your idea though. Uribe is the type of guy who will likely be better higher up in the order, where he has to concentrate more with moving runners over, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Haven't had one of our patented 8th, 9th inning comebacks in awhile. Now would be an ideal spot with several tough relievers due up these next two innigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) He's been terrible as a pitch hitter this season. His numbers suck in the situations that Hawk and Ozzie think he's amazing at. Ozzie's manager of the year. Only tonight, it's on the planet Nimrod.

If we picked up Griffey, we would take his WHOLE contract. If a trade is being negotiated, Cincy is probably being talked into taking some of the money.

Iguchi 2B Uribe SS Everett LF Konerko 1B Dye DH Rowand CF AJ C Anderson RF Crede 3B Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH. It'll never happen. Iguchi really isn't a leadoff hitter at all. I think if Iguchi plays, you'll see Ozuna in the lineup to bat leadoff for him unless Timo's in the lineup.

southsideirish71 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) My line up tomorrow. Iguchi 2B Uribe SS Everett LF Konerko 1B Dye DH Rowand CF AJ C Anderson RF Crede 3B Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH. Timo has a .294BA against Radke lifetime. Ozzie will use him for this game. If he starts him against someone that he is 0-7 against, he will most definately start him against Radke. Carl has a .179BA against Radke. Dye is batting .148 against Radke. Uribe is 143BA against Radke. Nope Ozzie will start Anderson on Wednesday against Santana. No matter what he does, Timo will bat leadoff again on Friday.
