ScottyDo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 QUOTE (Fotop @ May 28, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) As much as Floyd's been "lucky" w/his BABIP rate, it sure is nice to see a pitcher of ours miss bats. The strikeouts are certainly encouraging and leads me to believe he'll be solid in the back-end of the rotation for the rest of the year just on stuff alone. the thing that annoys me about BABIP is that it assumes the only good and consistent way to get someone out is to K them. while I agree that K's are nice, it kind of discounts the people who have the kind of stuff that puts batters off balance and causes them to pop out frequently. if only there was a stat for batting average on balls hit HARD into play...but that's certainly asking too much i'm aware that most deviations from the BABIP average of like .300 (or whatever it is normally) are due to luck in any case, that's probably an argument for another thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxWS08 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The Alexei is really coming along. I think it's time to DFA Uribe. OC needs to get him over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Uribe has lost his job for the time being. Ramirez still has some major holes, but he seems to be doing a lot more than Juan was. Plus, Ramirez has the upside to get better.

Balta1701 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Stop trying to bunt with OC! Either he forgot how to do it or he's adamant that he's going to screw it up every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 QUOTE (Reddy @ May 28, 2008 -> 09:13 AM) oc can't bunt... He looked horrendous trying to bunt last week. IF he can't get a bunt down here and keeps stabbing at it (which is what he does last week), Ozzie may just put him out to the pasture, LOL.

One potential other way to do it would be to DFA Pablo and consider Uribe to be your super-sub/backup 3rd basemen when he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) OC trying to bunt but Westbrook wild. 3-1 count. And than a brutal effort. Edited May 28, 2008 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Is it me or does Alexei really look so much better than he did at the very start of the season. If he continues to progress at this clip, we may have someone we can work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The bunt would be the optimal play against a guy who is a ground ball pitcher to stay out of the DP. Too bad Cabrera couldn't handle it. I will take the walk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he continues to progress at this clip, we may have someone we can work with. He's been much better at using the whole field and when hitters can use the whole field it means they're timing the ball and seeing the ball very well. That and his swing looks shorter close to what it was in ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
