fathom Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 And we're tied. Get him out Ozzie, this is an awful performance. Pirates will have the lead shortly if Garcia stays in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, best chance of winning was going Santos/Thornton/Putz/Jenks for an inning while trying to add more runs in the top of the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios is definitely our tough luck hitter. His LD% is barely lower than what it was last year and he's got a .250 BABIP. That's bad luck. Plus, he's hitting far more ground balls this year, and those usually go for a higher average than fly balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckham has hit just a million weak choppers to the pitcher and right side this season. He probably hasn't hit more than 20 line drives all season.

We'll never know how hard he's hitting those grounders, but truth is, once the sample gets large enough, it'll even itself out. There's always the luck factor in all of this. We know there is a good amount of ground balls that go for hits even though they're nothing but little choppers. Look what Beckham's done today with those.
