fathom Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Pods would have needed an extra base hit to score Getz with as shallow as they were playing him. Bunting with this team is just so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe we bunted to get to two guys who look overmatched tonight. I can name on one hand the number of players on this team who i consider to have a moderate level of baseball IQ when it comes to swinging a bat Quentin, Beckham, Konerko Well that about covers it Edited June 11, 2009 by joesaiditstrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well his batting average is .250, but of course when he leans into one it'll leave the premises, but I think Konerko is a much smarter hitter than Thome is, more selective that's for sure Thome has been better as of late though, I think his last week or so he's hitting over .300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) I hate our team. I was thinking tonight, strangely, that we'd look a whole lot better if just 2 things were true: (1) Carlos Quentin back and healthy; and (2) Gordon Beckham hitting. If just those 2 things were true (assuming PK not hurt), our lineup clutter would diminish considerably, particularly at the bottom of the order. We actually now have a good leadoff man and Ramirez is hitting, then we have the middle of the order, which is on par with where it was last year, if not better, as long as Quentin hits. Also, I think Beckham has a clue up there. I know that this is ridiculously optimistic, but why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 One of the downfalls of bunting is the 1 pitch outs. Verlander's still in the game for the 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he forgot something I figure he is a pretty wise hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems like he has sucked this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
