I imagine that fielders choice's also increase OBP but lower batting averages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) Considering he is considered a fastball pitcher with this mediocre stuff, the sox should crush him. That's my line of thinking, historically this is the sort of pitcher we get to. It's the crafty soft tossers that kill us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did nothing to earn your way on base so you get no credit for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Rocket single by CQ...2 on, 1 out. This is one of the few pitchers I wish we had Thome in the lineup to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 It sure seems like Thome and Dye have made a ton of weak outs on the first pitch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Ah, the Owens special...weak grounder to 2nd base. Did he run real fast to first though. I mean was it a blur. OBP is for the narrow minded, its all about blinding speed on your outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also didn't get the opportunity to do so. It's the same as a walk, how can you earn your way on base if you don't get anything to hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 11:30 PM) I love Carlos' short swing. It's funny, but he's not even close to being on his game yet. He hit a lot of homers a few weeks ago, but his swing was still a little off. He's such a pleasure to watch hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
