fathom Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) haha most people around here didnt even like Podsednik on this team LAST season when he was one of our better hitters I think we all loved him last season. The biggest criticism about him on the site was his bad base running. There was no denying that something clicked for him last year. With that said, we didn't want a 3 yr extension given to him.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) Exactly. Doesn't matter what we like or not, Pods is better. He has a better looking wife. But he's not better. They're both below average. And Pierre's "skills" trump that of Pods. This has been proven many times.

Balta1701 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) If Mirales comes in, I hope we see Nix or Andruw hitting. This is a good point. What's the point of having a platoon DH if you never use the righty? Anyway, I don't want to see Jones, as awful as his swing looked the other day.

MattZakrowski Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Actually, on pitches 100+, Mark is typically better than he is on pitches 75-100. His opponent's OPS drops from .751 to .688 after pitch 100. And my eyes tell me I hate seeing Podsednik picked off and on the DL. Some of that could be a side effect of mostly getting to 100 pitches when he's having good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeNukeEm Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Why am I dreading having the 5th spot in the order up with 2 on in the bottom of the eighth of a tie game? Bizarro World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 If Pods hadn't had those 2-3 obvious baserunning gaffes that pissed everybody off, would we have done the right thing and signed him to a reasonable 2-year deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ok Time to pinch hit Andruw Jones. It's sad to say that. Who pinch hits for the middle of the order ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest criticism about him on the site was his bad base running. There was no denying that something clicked for him last year. With that said, we didn't want a 3 yr extension given to him.

jphat007 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) Thought I'd help you out. http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Kansas-City-Royals-Fan Don't be stupid. I've been here and a Sox fan a long time. I'm just pissed that we got a s***ty leadoff hitter when we could have had a better player for less money without giving up any players. instead we have an awful leadofff hitter.
