fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 03:17 AM) The ball was in front of the runner. If Cabrera squares his shoulders when fielding that ball, he's got Punto. He doesn't have the arm to make that play. That's not even meant as a negative comment. We really were spoiled with Uribe's cannon at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Did Hawk say "b**** and moan" about the player's union at one point? LOL yeah, I couldn't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie5angels Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) I will be so happy once JD is a DH and not in the field. Everytime a ball is hit to right it scares me. He is slow and gets bad reads on balls. Edited April 30, 2008 by frankie5angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 oh, how i'd love to see us light up Joe Nathan tonight, it's pretty ironic that we probably have a better chance of hitting Nathan than anyone else in the Twins BP, or Bonser throw us fastballs joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) It's corpseball. Solo home runs but can't manufacture a run to save our lives. This offense is so flawed it's pathetic. Haven't you heard, though? It's all about high OBP. Balance. We need balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) But we are getting timely hitting in April for the most part. It worries me because you can't always count on timely hitting to win games. I'd much rather have the average around .270 than .245 with timely hitting. Obviously wins are the most important stat so however that happens is ok by me, but it'd be better getting more hits. Our approach has changed. The first week or 2, we were drawing a ton of walks (which we still are) but we were hitting opposite field, moving guys along, and we were hitting the gaps. Now, we're looking to pull and to hit home runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the OBP, but OBP doesn't mean s*** if you don't have guys who can get hits to drive you in. We have zero team speed None. I would love to put Owens in center with Swisher in right and have JD as DH. Thome looks lost at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nice Offense Walk. Wear a mask when you get your paycheck this month. A year and a half of this garbage and you keep getting a paycheck. Last in BA, the OBP is dropping we are now 7th in the league. We are scoring 40% of our runs via the dong. The most in a long time. Teams should just chuck the ball down the plate, we can find a way of getting ourselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
