fathom Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) Well I am confused, you said it would have taken a perfect bunt by Uribe to move AJ along but whatever. I agree with you, they needed to have Uribe bunt there. Pods comes thru with a base hit which would've scored one run but instead it's a momentum shift. Bad baseball. I completely disagreed with Uribe not bunting, but I was trying to explain why Ozzie didn't have him bunt. I don't know what the hell we can do to spark this offense. We're slow, and station-to-station. However, when your "non-power hitters" can't execute, you're screwed. I've labored back and forth on this, but my dream acquisition would be Miguel Tejada.

premo Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I've never been so pissed watching baseball games than I have the past two weeks or so.

Several others (NYY, Minn), who are playing much better ball right now, are only a handful back. Edited July 22, 2006 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Kinsler smoked it, fortunately right at Iguchi for the 4-6-3. Buehrle is not fooling anybody, but now it's time for the offense to get something done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With someone as slow as AJP (or PK, Crede), you better be sure they're going to make it when you're down 3 and other guys are on base.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) So you want to trade a pitcher who you think sucks for another pitcher who is currently sucking and only going to get worse that's cool. Take a look at Willis' year by year stats, his K/9, K/BB, WHIP, ERA, BABIP anything you want, his future is going to be full of Hideo Nomo comparisons and I don't want any part of that. You want Willis and don't want Buehrle that's your whole thing. I really could care less. Okay, Buehrle is the greatest player ever. He's looking great out there. He's dealing wins like no other(for the other team, but nevermind that). I don't know why you keep saying Nomo. Nomo never threw as hard as Willis does. Nomo never had as great as pitches as Willis does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the last few series are any indication, they weren't do anything with it. 14 hits, 4 runs. 7 hits, 1 run. This team simply cannot excute on the field, on the mound, at the plate, or on the basepaths right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they seem to be sleepwalking through a lot of these games. I don't know what can shake the team up at this point though. I thought the Red Sox series would do it, then I thought the Yankees series would do it, then I thought coming home would shake it up, but they're still playing poorly. They are getting scoring opportunities and pissing them away. The fans have been strong tonight at the game, hopefully they'll see them snap out of it tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, if you just look at Dontrelle's numbers this year you can see he's already starting to struggle. IP H BB SO ERA WHIP BAA K/9 K/BB OPS G/F Dontrelle Willis - 137 150 44 86 3.94 1.42 .282 5.65 1.96 .756 1.74 Jon Garland - 116 136 26 60 5.12 1.40 .292 4.66 2.31 .817 1.05 He's not striking anyone out, walking everyone else and giving up more H than IP. The general rule of thumb is to add .90 onto an NL pitcher's ERA to convert it to the AL. That would put Dontrelle at 4.84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
