Winning Ugly Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 ...I was hearing them all night last night talk about, "the Sox have played great defense all year..." Do these guys know anything about any other team then the Twins, like they should? I bet after Valentin's error they wanted to retract that statement...

IlliniKrush Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I would say it's much improved from last year, but certainly not good. The addition of Crede and Olivo have made it much more solid, however now the insertion of Thomas at first weakens it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing Konerko has on him is Konerko can throw and frank cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Frank is pretty poor at first, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yeah. MUCH improved. The Sox are 4th in the AL in fielding % and tied for 3rd in errors. For a team that averaged about an error a game the last couple of years to have just 46 in 76 games is "playing great defense all year."

RedPinStripes Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Frank is pretty poor at first, IMO His past shows he's not, but i dont mind him there with the way he's been playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yeah, Frank's so bad. I'd rather have PK there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Frank is so much better at the stretch and catch than Kong, all Kong can do better is throw, pisses me off when they bring him in for Defense, Frank is a much better 1Bman in my mind. I watched Twins telecast last night. They said Sox have been playing better defense right after Valentine's error (or was it Jimenez's misplay into a double on Hocking smash). I agree, D has been better but still not good when compared to Twins, tho many teams lack on D when compared to Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 well 46 errors but how many other fielding mistakes have cost us that maybe were not scored as errors?? that is our big flaw especially if we cannot hit like we did in 2000 to overcome the tons of errors we had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick and Bert are pretty much who I have to watch if I want to watch baseball. It sucks. :fyou Bert and you're stupid ass "circle me Bert" thing! Goddamn that thing is annoying.

MnSoxFan Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I have been in Minny for 20 years now and I think Blyleven is one of the best announcers I have ever heard, he and Bremer kick ass over any Chicago announcers, Hawk's schtick has gotten old (his fetish over sphincters) and DJ is just plain horrible.

BrandoFan Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hawk's schtick has gotten old (his fetish over sphincters) and DJ is just plain horrible. I agree with you on DJ- he is just bad even if he is very nice. Hawk knows a lot about the game and is an old school gentleman; with a right partner (and no not Wimpy, lol), he could be very good. The problem is how do you find a personality to match Hawk's eccentiricities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Franks a good defensive 1B. Hes big so he can reach a lot more balls and hes just not too shabby with the glove. Besides, he says he can hit better when he plays first and it shows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
