FlaSoxxJim Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 What is the record for the most GIDPs by a player in a single game? Anybody ever make more than three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody ever make more than three? CLee grounded into 3 DPs a few years ago, I think 2 times with the bases loaded in an extra inning loss to Boston.

santo=dorf Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It would be nice to see Joe take a few more walks and stop popping up. People keep talking about his .290 average, but his OBP is actually less than Podsednik's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 People keep talking about his .290 average, but his OBP is actually less than Podsednik's. That is a damn fine observation. Something to think about. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can just exhibit a little more patience/discipline, he'll be one of the top 25 players or so in the game. I really believe that.

witesoxfan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If he stays dangerous at the plate, pitchers will start to be more selective with Crede. It's then up to him if he wants to start taking those pitches and drawing walks, or not taking them and playing like s***. His average may end up dipping a little in doing so, but overall he'll be a better hitter. Also, I don't care too much that Crede's OBP is less than Podsednik's. To go back to rudimentary baseball, Joe's getting paid to drive in runs. Podsednik is getting paid to score runs. Therefore, Crede's got an exception, due to his high average and slugging. Podsednik's pisspoor OBP is not acceptable. Obviously you'd like to see Crede get on base more, but him drawing walks is what's separating him from being a #3 hitter and being a #6/7 hitter.
