SoxFan1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) Pierre, Beckham, Jones/Kotsay, Rios, Ramirez? That's 5 spots that can genuinely run. Quentin can score from 1st on a double while healthy. I have no clue on Teahen. Konerko and Pierzynski are slow, but come on, Hafner? Redmond/The other guy? Pierre is visibly slower than he used to be. Beckham only has decent speed. Jones/Kostay? You serious? Rios and Ramirez I'll give you. But at the same time, you have to get on base. And really? You counter with Hafner and Redmond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) Jones steals bases and goes 1st to 3rd on singles. he's fast enough. But he's not Choo, Valbeuna, or Sizemore fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) And that's why they wouldn't have bunted with their #2 hitter. I figured they didn't bunt with him because there were 2 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:59 AM) I think this team just might perform better with a different manager at the helm. Call me nuts. Gordon Beckham should not be bunting twice in a ballgame. Call you nuts? I bet 90 pct of the people on here agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Hafner and the C spot and LaPorta sort of balance out the slow guys in our lineup, woudln't you say? Is Hafter really faster than Konerko?

SoxFan1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I like how the main excuse is Beckham bunting twice. We've scored 3 runs in back to back games against the f***ing Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s a great tactician. He’s the most sabermetrically inclined manager in the game today. He got some great offense performances out of some terrible Nationals clubs too.
