SoxFan562004 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 i'm actually suprised how split the opinions are on this series. Listening to the radio, watching TV and doing some reading, it seems "experts" are actually giving the White Sox a shot. I think some people just can't overlook that Red Sox pitching staff and bullpen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 check out the scouting reports on the team. Rowand gets bad jumps and has poor range while scotty has plus range a plus arm and gets great reads. Also it says that Bobby came from Charlotte.

Heads22 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Spectacular. Now there's no way he can be wrong. If the Sox win, he told everyone so. If Boston wins, well, he was with them all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Shockingly Rob Neyer picked Boston. Its the fact that he thinks that they are going to win, or his mancrush for Bill James skews his objectivity. Maybe we can translate this SABR formula for Mr. Neyer who doesnt like the whitesox because of our uniforms and our ballpark as he said in a chat earlier this year.

Remember that awesome catch he made on Belliard yesterday? That happened because his broke backwards first. His range isn't poor and how could anybody say Pods has a plus arm?

That happened because his broke backwards first. His range isn't poor and how could anybody say Pods has a plus arm? Aaron gets some of the best jumps out of any center fielder on balls that are hit into the gaps. Also, you'll see a lot of centerfielders including torrii and andruw get bad reads like that ball yesterday, sometime you just can't judge those off the bat.

That happened because his broke backwards first. His range isn't poor and how could anybody say Pods has a plus arm? Rowand gets bad jumps at balls hit right at him as do most outfielders. He has excellent range to the left or right. He has shown all year his ability to read the ball off the bat and get in position to make the catch as well as get in position to make the catch and then throw.

Be Good Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 On the ESPN SportsNation thing.. One of the questions is: What would you rather see? White Sox win first World Series Red Sox win back-to-back WS titles after 86-year drought WTF we have won World Series before, Yes I get their point that it was almost 90 years ago, but still.

That happened because his broke backwards first. His range isn't poor and how could anybody say Pods has a plus arm? Here's what you do; go to a game, when a ball is hit into the outfield immediatley look in Rowand's direction. I gaurantee that about 85-95% of the time you'll see him break to the direction of the ball. I have done this for all 14 games I went to this year and he has done this almost every time. Rowand gets some of the best jumps you'll ever see from an outfielder. The only problem he has with reading the ball off the bat is when it's hit right at him and the majority of the outfielders in baseball have the same problem.

3E8 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Any decent major league centerfielder should get good jumps to their right and left just by looking where the catcher sets up. Edited October 3, 2005 by 3E8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Honestly, anyone here, with their baseball knowledge could build a case for 7 of the 8 teams. St. Louis is about as much of a lock as can be. After that, these are all great teams. Matchups are everything. A few bounces, some confidence, and anyone can get on a roll. I'm liking Houston and the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
