---------- Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Man he gets picked off a lot. And he doesn't steal too many bases. Why is that? Lexi should take some lessons from orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Fields: 5 career opposite field HRs in 393 career ABs. Less than 1/10 of Joe Crede's career homeruns have been hit between center field and the right field foul pole.

Crede's blasted some balls to center field this season that have been caught at the track. He's not as bad as OC, who has severe WTP to dead center.

greg775 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I wonder if Lexi is an airhead? He sometimes makes some dumb decisions with the glove as well. I still like him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of course is left and left center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 A couple of Joe's oppo homers, I believer, were in his first year or two up, so they have been even fewer and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If we lose and I hope we don't, we must blame Swish and Crede for failing with the bags loaded in the inning we coulda blown the game open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) What is the deal with Crede just trying to hit it to right field? He has no power the opposite way, so it makes no sense. Crede and Swisher are killing this offense tonight. Are you kidding me? You are seriously whining about Crede trying to go to right field? He stroke one but right at Hamilton and has looked pretty solid at the plate. When Crede uses all fields he's at his best (even though most of his HR's are to LF).
