Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I can't think of 5 players with the same or similiar amount of at bats worse than Nick Swisher this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) I think, when it's all said and done, we'll look back at Quentin's injury and realize that the real cost of it was having to play Swisher. I mean, it's hard to say that because he's such a totally, super-duper hilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarious guy and everything . . . Haha, oh man. Did you see when he danced in the dugout the other day?

Guys, guys -- you're missing the big picture. Swish is totally funny in the clubhouse. I mean it. The guy tells great jokes and dyes his hair. Super awesome.

G&T Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) Has anyone looked at Swisher's away stats this year? Holy cow, he f***ing sucks. .185 batting average and an OPS not close to .600. His season has to rank as one of the worst in franchise history, right?

Seriously. I mean, talk about loose. Swish makes this team so loose. I mean, they're so loose, they look comatose. That's how good Swish is at this stuff. He's like the new Max Patkin, Clown Prince of Baseball. Thanks, Swish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Anybody who tries to make the Duckworth performance into anything else but our offense sucking needs to get a clue. This is not just a pitcher having a great game, this is an offense trying to show how terrible it truly is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not just a pitcher having a great game, this is an offense trying to show how terrible it truly is. He's allowed 1 homer in about 30 innings now this season. I doubt things are going to improve for the offense today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a worse level of corpseball coming down the stretch than Manuel could have ever dreamed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 How many times this year have we scored in the first inning, and then failed to score at all for the rest of the game, or didn't score again until the 8th-9th innings It's gotta be quite a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 2 hits through 4, and he just Kd 2 of our power core. Someone needs to find another job after this season, because preparing, instructing and motivating hitters is not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
