Dick Allen Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Pods now at .251 and only outhitting Uribe and Anderson.....both those 2 are hitting better than him right now though... Pods only has 5 fewer RBI than he did all of last season when a few people around here thought he warranted MVP consideration. Last year he may have been the most overrated player in the history of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) I've been at most of Garland's home starts this year, and saw him in person in Tucson at the end of spring training. Its one of the few times there wasn't rocket after rocket hit off him. I think it was the best he's pitched by far this season. I really liked the fact that he wasn't trying to strike guys out, rather he was throwing in the upper 80's, which enables his ball to get a lot more sink to it. If he does that while mixing in the ocassional 2seamer in on the hands of batters (which Jon usually throws a little harder) mixed with his change and breaking ball and I think we'll see him turn things around. He didn't pitch inside at all to Texiera (I assume we have him scouted that way though) but he was throwing the ball in at least a decent number of times to the guys). And like you said, not many hard hit balls today and thats against a very good Texas team in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he may have been the most overrated player in the history of baseball. He really helped this team out with his steals, especially at the beginning of the year when our hitting sucked but the pitching was great. He was just pathetic in the 2nd half of the season though. I'll definitely give him credit for playing great in the postseason though.

As far as I'm concerned, aside from today, these should be his last two starts (in Texas) for a bit, because I would have Konerko in at 1b throughout interleague play (when we are the visiting team). However, my guess is Thome will get 1 start and I'm sure he'll PH in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) I know that place is a bandbox, but everytime I see a game in Texas, it seems like you would have to hit one 600 ft. to hit it out of there.

Except when McCarthy made his first start there last season, and every flyball was gone. Left field at Cleveland has that type of feeling for me.

Chisoxfn Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 The Rangers station has a whole lot of public announcements for commercials (between the one with the hockey player telling his daughter he loves her, the one with the young girl talking about older boys, and then this past one).
