Kalapse Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 QUOTE(shipps @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:12 AM) hes hitting .348 with risp.but yes only .262 risp w/2 outs.he is still pretty damn dangerous when the game is on the line.i wouldnt say he sucks. Have you seen his close and late? .167 BA and .746 OPS! That is absolutely wretched, there's no reason for Jim Thome to ever bat after the 6th inning, you might as well imediately pinch hit Pablo Ozuna for him the second you hit the 7th, Pabs is sporting a .522 BA and a SICK 1.238 OPS in close and late situations.

WOW...just WOW. Are you kidding me? I understand the number, but COME ON!!! I think Thome has EARNED the right to continue past the 6th inning.

He actually has been pretty bad in clutch situations, as shown by Kalapse...I actually didn't know that...but atleast when he hits it it goes a long ways, I guess.

Actually his close and late is pretty horrible but he's been incredibly clutch this year, about a month or so ago I went back through and found a plethera of huge hits Thome has come up with this year. Plus outside of the 9th inning he's a monster and to quote some guy I once talked to on the internet "I'll take a guy who's great for 8 innings as opposed to just 1" atleast I think that was the quote.
