Balta1701 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I was just going through some of the stats. Carlos Quentin is literally god-like in close games. Before tonight, Close and late, 1.160 OPS. Innings 7-9 in general, 1.100. Eat your heart out Ortiz. Those are MVP type numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 3 of 4 wins now....starting to get a little MO maybe? Starting pitching needs to come around ...Danks and Burls are trying to do their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must not be as hot. If Q stays at his pace and we make the playoffs, Q is the MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 is it just me or is CQ hitting a lot of solo homeruns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Quentin has indeed passed Hamilton, but there are still almost 2 months left and Hamilton can get white hot again like earlier in the season. He's hit the dog days of summer, he'll come out of it...I hope Carlos gets it of course, but JH would be a nice story...just so it doesn't go to a Yankee or Red Sox.

I'm happy Uribe is making the best of a rotten 3rd base situation and helping us win. I really hope something positive happens to our bullpen be it via pickup, internal promotion, or lephrachaun.

I think Dye will siphon off some of his votes...but it could/should be close. I think Hamilton still is the sentimental favorite. You know the Rookie 2 movie is already in the pipeline at Walt Disney Studios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a thread by a poster here soon talking about the MVP race and how close it would come especially with the 1st place teams. (or second/third if close in the hunt) IMO, not even looking at stats, I would say it's a Quentin, Hamilton, A-Rod, Morneau race (I think Youk is having a damn good season too) and I'm sure someone here will probably compare each player.

A-Rod has only 68 RBI's. With Joba out, I don't think there's any way that the Yankees can make it to the playoffs. Then again, stranger things have happened. I do HOPE A-Rod has a good series in the HHH Dome next week. That's about the only time I will root for the Yankees over another team.

Chisoxfn Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mark was fantastic and the pen held down when it finally needed to. Still, I'm going to be really happy when this rotation can start putting up consistent 7 inning outings (Buerhle did his job tonight) so that the pen can get rested. Right now its pitching on E. Linebrink coming back should be a big boost (hopefully he'll be healthy and effective when he comes back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Great win. I heard Mark was great, and I heard Q's HR on the way home from work. Sucks KC couldn't help us out but we need to keep on winning. Need a big one out of Jose tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be over now, if it wasn't already...two Twins runners on, no outs in the top of the 9th, and Nathan looming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
