Gavin wasn't great, but the defense cost him at least two runs by not turning a DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I know we have a bunch of average and below average players in the lineup, but even the bad ones are hitting like 100 points below what they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Getting Gonzalez would make AJP and Ramirez remember how to hit? no but it would give the opposing pitcher atleast one hitter to worry about, i dont think any pitcher fears not one batter in that lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I don't know if fear is the right word, certainly it was with Quentin in 2008. Quentin, Konerko, Beckham and Rios are all capable hitters...and Andruw Jones can leap up and bite you. We're just a soft overall line-up unless we're getting consistent contributions from Pierre, Teahen, Ramirez and AJ. At one point, it seemed like Ramirez would be Soriano-Lite. That would make a tremendous diference, if he was the same threat he was in 2008 on a more consistent basis (like before June, that would help).

scotty22hotty Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Pods - .452 AVG /.528 OBP/ 6 SB Juan - Bench Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Royals, 3-5 White Sox, 3-5 Or, can we compare Andruw Jones with Jim Thome and say Andruw's clearly the better option after 8 games? Let's wait at least until May 1st before we put Scotty Pods into Cooperstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sure its been said, but I'm too lazy to look through the thread after coming in from a Minor league game.... "Lets see...we got one run on...one hit? Thats all we got? One goddamn hit?" "You can't say goddamn on the radio!!" "Ah who cares, no one is listening anyways." Embarassing offense, 14 Ks.

SoxAce Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Man we were in the top 10 as far as plate discipline and I believe 1st in not striking out as a team entering this game. Both stats went up drastically. Romero was filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
