CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yesterday CQ was 2/3 with an RBI and a run scored in a Charlotte win. Today he was 2/2 with a walk and RBI. So far 4/5 ,being limited to 3 AB's per game . All singles 3 to center , 1 to left. Don't think he pushed it on the bases going station to station in the Charlotte win.

ThunderBolt Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don’t think the bat is the issue it’s his foot. If he’s running tentatively the whole thing could be shot for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I normally feel like we get an honest, or rather accurate, read from our organization regarding player injuries - but with Quentin I feel the opposite. I'm going to be very cautious with my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm happy he was running tentatively. Why would we want him sprinting his a** off in meaningless games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObamaKnowsBest Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Good to hear, but I would hardly call that showing off. I was expecting to see he hit 3 HRs or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Getting Quentin back is the key to the season. With him, I believe we can and should win the division. Without him, it's going to be a struggle. KW would definitely have to trade for a major bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a loud, outgoing personality. If your paycheck depended on viewers, who would you put on Sportscenter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny got coverage everytime he took a piss and wiped his ass. Sry I had to vent that. Good for Carlos. Manny is perhaps the greatest run-producer of our generation and tested positive for steriods. Quentin had injury issues before 2008, had one good season only to end it with another injury, returns the next year, plays subpar, and promptly gets hurt again. His rehab stint is hardly newsworthy on a national level. As for his return ... I really doubt he'll make much of an impact, especially if he can't run, seeing that you're only risking losing him into next season.

Jake Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Good to know that he's not just pulling everything in sight. I really felt like his approach at the end of last season and this season was poor and a departure from what brought him so much notoriety. He has a basehit swing and approach, but is so strong that his balls leave the yard. I think he'd been reading the statsheet too much, because he had been going to the longball approach that is so characteristic of White Sox hitters in recent years. Some of his biggest (most important) hits were simply ground balls through the middle, and I like those just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN/Sportscenter is single handedly to blame for what we see in the All Star games these days. It's their choice of coverage and over dramatization of certain teams and personas that is causing kids across the US (and some adults as well) to vote in favor of a 260avg jason bay, or 200 avg Veritek over those with actual AllStar numbers (who have to rely on player and coach voting). as a die hard fan of a team on the outside of their circle this is beyond infuriating. I can remember when the voting was still fan based at the parks, and the punch cards at least came with a summary of the guys key stats for some reference. The sponsor laden online voting now doesn't even list a single number for a "fan" to reference....and that's just the way they want it..... disgusting ESPN always argues, eg on Colin Cowherd's show, that they just give the people what they want to see, I would vigourously counter that they've successfully swayed people to take innterest in their interests, to the point now where a historically unsuccessful team like Boston now has the same unlimited funds to buy any free angent they want, and risk losing quality free agents to only the one team richer than they are....

From 1967 to today, and not counting the strike years of '81 and '94, the Red Sox have won fewer than 78 games one time. To put that into another form, the Red Sox have won atleast 78 games in 41 of the past 42 seasons. That's absolutely incredible. In the 3 seasons from '77-'79, they won 287 games, an average of just under 96 wins a season, and didn't make the playoffs once. The Red Sox have always been a pretty good organization, and they've become the best organization in the majors within the past 5 seasons. Having money as they do (though they do their best to stay under the luxury tax cap) doesn't hurt. Edited July 6, 2009 by witesoxfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having money as they do (though they do their best to stay under the luxury tax cap) doesn't hurt. Agreed. The White Sox are definitely close to the Top 10 now (8-12?), where we were perenially in the 20-25 spot until 2005 changed things quite a bit. It used to be the Braves for many years...in terms of ROI and cost/benefit of the way they run their organization and were so consistent in making the playoffs but just coming up a player or two short because of budgetary constraints after Turner let go of the reins. The Rays are also up-and-coming but having success in that demolition derby division is super hard and even harder to sustain at those attendance levels and minimized revenue generating streams.

Princess Dye Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) JR was on Monsters talking as if this injury is something that tends to heal and be fine from then on Which i suppose is different from what i remember hearing when Nocioni had it for the Bulls this last year Edited July 7, 2009 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo9246 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My grandpa said he used to have plantar fascitis and that it's a pain but that it does go away if treated properly and doesn't come back. I don't think that this should be a recurring problem for Carlos, but I do think that if he does come back this year it should be in the last month and a half or so to give us that extra push if we need it.
