southsider2k5 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Is that the first Frank Thomas multi-RBI game? Yes it was, but you'll have that when you are hitting .185 with RISP, and have 8 solo HRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 I thought so. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Unbelievably, it was. He's had 3 multi-hit games in the last 6, though. Got his average up to .269 -- so hopefully he's starting to turn the perverbial corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of his front hip flying open and him trying to pull everything to the LF foul pole, he is concentrating on going to the gaps, just like the vintage Thomas used to. Hopefully he keeps this approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hopefully he has. I have a big bet on him this year. .300 Avg 40 HR 100 RBI It's $1 a point plus or minus those numbers. As of right now, I owe $168. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, I owe $168. I don't think those numbers are out of reach to be very honest. So far his HR's aren't that bad (considering how he's been struggling -- 8's pretty good even still), and his RBI's will come (guys have been on base, he just hasn't delivered yet). And I think the .300 average is the easiest of the 3 for him to achieve. He's a career .312 hitter, keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 40 HRs might be the easiest thing at the pace he has been going. I will hedge my bet to see if he sticks with his fixed swing for a while or if he lapses back into what he has been doing for the last few years.

He's played 1 season since 2000 -- ease up on the guy. I believe that once Frank finds his stroke, it'll be back to stay -- good hitters like Frank don't normally go into such long funks, but once they get out of them, they tend to stay out. Like I said, I hope Frank has started to turn the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 He has to play in at least 100 games to make the bet official. I think I'll be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
