There is plenty of "I dislike Pods, but..." "I dislike Freddy, but..."

 

There is a difference between criticism and whining about everything a player does wrong.

 

We only whine because we care.

I do dislike Podsednik as do many people but that's not every player on the team. If they're going to suck (Freddy, yes he has sucked) then people are not going to like them. It's hard to like a player that's not producing.

But he is producing. Good enough not to be hated on like he is. I mean, he's a pitcher on the White Sox. They should all get the benefit of the doubt. I feel like I'm baseball prospectus here soemtimes and not a white sox fan site.

This great OBP you guys keep harping about for Pods currently ranks him 9th out of the 14 normal starting leadoff hitters....thats supposed to be his saving grace?

 

Don't ever bother arguing about Pods with certain people.

He's allowing a s*** load of baserunners and some how keeping them from scoring, you can't get away with that forever. I refuse to give players the benifit of the doubt for the rest of their careers because of one season, it's '06 everything starts over new.

Note to Brian.... when you're f***ing terrible at the plate, don't fake a bunt on a first pitch fastball down the plate. I love hitters who are 3-37 with RISP.

I wonder if they were Ozzie's instructions.

 

Of course there was a time BA swung at the 1st pitch in a similar situation, and lined out to 3rd, and people were flaming him for not working the count.

Has he saved as many of those RBI's with his defense?

I'm not saying you should give them the benefit of the doubt because of 05. You should give them the benefit of the doubt because they play for "your" team.

 

At least that's what I thoguht it meant to be a fan. But whatever.

That might have been before people realized how blessed we are whenever Anderson makes contact. That out you talk about might have been my epiphany for much he sucks. I didn't see the play, but saw the replay on it. If you were to believe what people were saying on here, it was the hardest hit line drive in history. When I saw the replay, I couldn't but help think it was a broken bat liner (not exactly a rocket) to the 3B.
