White Sox vs. Royals, 4/23/07 (W)

[ShoeLessRob]

Nice play by Paul.

[Greg The Bull Luzinski]

Erstad has already gotten more hits than I can remember Brian getting all year

 

Personally, I have tried to block out all of Brian Anderson's at-bats from last year.

Erstad's offense 2007 = Anderson's offense 2006

Actually, Erstad is worse. Anderson has better plate patience and hits for more power.

[Balta1701]

In a word, yes. Though not completely. Erstad may yet hit this year. Anderson never hit last year.

Brian Anderson in:

AVG OBP SLG OPS

July .313 .328 .469 .797

August .296 .367 .437 .804

Brian Anderson in:

AVG OBP SLG OPS

July .313 .328 .469 .797

August .296 .367 .437 .804

 

 

That's right, he did have that 2 month hot streak. Too bad the season is six months long. As I said, I block out much of BA's offense from last year.

There's a difference between saying that you block out much of BA's offense last year, which even I'll grant was bad, and saying that he never started to hit, which was simply untrue. He did start to hit, just not consistently across the season.

What a crock. Post September, April, May and June.

I'm just wondering, but do you hate Anderson because other people like him, or did he like kick your mother in the nuts or something?

[Capn12]

Holy crap, a PK hit!!

[Whitewashed in '05]

PK with a base knock.

[fathom]

This offense makes it seem so difficult to hit the ball hard consistently.

"Anderson never hit last year."

 

He hit in August and July.

Why is it a crock. Someone said Anderson NEVER hit last year. Balta should two months where he did. Seems clear to me

It sure did seem like he never hit anything. Though I would say 4 month of no hitting > 2 months of no hitting.

[46bearsd]

did the gun just say 103 mph?

[Balta1701]

Totally granted. I'd just say that Erstad's 6 years of pretty poor hitting should come into the discussion at some point as well.

I, and many others would say there are two gregs in this thread full of it. Only a matter of time before greg775 comes in here and in typical fashion kissing up the Royals making it a grand total of 3.

[WHarris1]

That's bad luck? WTF are you talking about Hawk?

[46bearsd]

these royals announces are much worse than hawk

To be truthful, I am not understand the Anderson love v. Erstad hate. They both have positive and negatives. Yet I think people here forget how miserable BA looked at the plate at times last year and see Anderson replacing Erstad as a solution. I just do not think that is realistic. If we get .260 out of CF, most of us will be happy unless it is Ken Griffey Jr.

I don't hate Brian Anderson. I just think he's a great example of ego when it isn't called for, poor hitting and poor approach to hitting.

 

It is obnoxious to see people gush about him. Just watching him at the plate makes it clear he has no clue what he's doing. It was clear last year, all year, and it's continued. But that's Ozzie's fault!!!!!111111111111111

 

I do like the cute attempt to insinuate that my mother has nuts. Your clever lulz!!111

Anderson also did not have an OPS below .554 during any month last year.

I'm full of it because I think BA's terrible? Give me a break.

I would agree with that...if I thought we were also getting the best defense out of the position we could. But IMO, that's also not Erstad. Heck, I'd easily prefer Terrero to Erstad in terms of getting this much playing time right now.
