lostfan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) nope, someone who apparently knows that your arguments are awful. The red flags have been waving for a while now actually. I mean I've been trying to stay optimistic, but it's more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:37 PM) division or league... division right now would be like being the tallest midget, with one team over .500 Yeah, which is why I backed it up with 4th in the league, face it you are wrong.

southsideirish71 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) You gave one of the best home run hitting teams in baseball an average rating. Its not harsh, just stupid. Fixed for you. Teams with the worst BA in baseball do not get mentioned as one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 03:37 AM) division or league... division right now would be like being the tallest midget, with one team over .500 Think about it this way....we've only had 2 or 3 offensive players hot at the same time this whole season. If our starting pitching struggled out of the gates, we could be 5 games below .500. I'll gladly take where our record is at, and hope the offense turns it around.

joejoesox Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 game. are any of you guys shocked? especially those of you "Come on, it's only the 5th inning. Plenty of game left." most of us saw this coming from the 3rd inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie5angels Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:37 PM) This could be partially true. Making the team worse isn't the way to do it. If the organization was as confident as you say they are in Owens, he would be up here with the club. I'm just frustrated with this offense. I think it needs a big shakeup.

southsideirish71 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) 5th in OPS, yes they do. Sure and scoring 40% of your runs based on the home run is going to last as well. In our best years we were in the 25 to 28 percent. Our OBP was near the top, we have dropped over the last 2 weeks to 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our best years we were in the 25 to 28 percent. Our OBP was near the top, we have dropped over the last 2 weeks to 7th. Batting average is one of the worst indicators of a good offense. kansas city and minnesota are both in the top 10 for batting avg and both havent even score 100 runs yet.
