BigSqwert Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 AS much as I love Gordon and the over the top posts we've seen regarding him I now realize how special Frank Thomas was when he came up. The guy was just flat out intimidating and seemed like he could never slump. A once in a lifetime type hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was just flat out intimidating and seemed like he could never slump. A once in a lifetime type hitter. Which is why I laugh every time someone in the media tries to say they aren't sure if he's a first ballot HoF'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You knew that he would crush any mediocre pitcher like the one we just saw on Sunday (2-11 with ERA over 6). The elite pitchers still would have trouble getting him out since he would so often muscle a fister over the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is awesome. Hard to get Gordon star struck, but when your talking to the people who created your walkup song, it's pretty surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Slayer's BA is dropping. Does this count as his first slump or second one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Desperately needs a day off. His avg has dropped 30 points over the past 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I don't know why a day off is always the cure all to people. Cal Ripken says days off are overrated. But if that's the cause of his s***ty at bats, give him a couple days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 He needs a couple of days off to collect himself. I imagine that is why they are giving Fields another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeynach Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 05:15 AM) Slayer's BA is dropping. Does this count as his first slump or second one? Since August 16th Beckham has been seriously atrocious at the plate. His is slumping Jermaine Dye style. Bechkam has 7 hits in his last 55 at bats for a stout .127 BA. The only difference is I think we are all a bit more willing to go through some slumps and growing pains with him as a young talented player. With the aging sluggers almost standard 2nd half fall off at this point (Dye, Thome, Konerko) it reflects more a motive to move these guys from the roster. With Beckham we just have to stick it out, plus hes not one of the main run producers anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 A hit piece on Gordon Beckham’s ROY case. The logic is sound, while I disagree with both the premise and the conclusion. http://baseballdigest.com/american-league/...ie-of-the-year/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchtower41 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 One thing is for certain, Bacon has a long way to go to lock up ROY. It would be a nice positive in this under-achieving season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
