Cali Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) Boxing fan? Nope. It's a kind of obscure pull from Memorial Day 2008 against the Angels CQ hit's 2 Homers including a walk-off bomb on Sunday night on ESPN and that's what Joe Morgan called him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:55 AM) .333/.469/.923/1.392 in his last 13 games. .275/.353/.556/.908 in 173 PA since May 9th. Sure it's cherry picking but it makes me feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) The way he is hitting (and that defensive gem he made yesterday) he is comming back to becomming "THE" CQ. It's funny because that "gem" showed just how awkward he is in RF. He took basically the worst route imaginable to get to that ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took basically the worst route imaginable to get to that ball. I saw that play and I thought "Wow... he's going to get himself killed out there". It was a great catch, but did it need to be? Would a better right fielder have made that play a lot easier? I wonder how Quentin would react to being made the permanent DH? Maybe Jones gets DFAd and De Aza is made the starting right fielder with Quentin taking the DH spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took basically the worst route imaginable to get to that ball. It was still an outstanding play or "recovery." Obviously noone talked about the defensive route nor should, but that was still a great play to make even though his route wasn't very good. Haters gonna hate, and that is not surprising with you.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 He took a bad angle to the ball, but it was a frozen rope basically right over his head on a night in which the wind was howling. I tend to side with the great play side of it moreso than the bad angle one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because I'm a "hater". It was a Sammy Sosa special: do everything wrong until the last second then fall down/dive and make the play. It's like watching Nate McLouth in CF; that dude makes an inordinate amount of diving catches, unfortunately it's because he's getting to the ball late, this won him a gold glove much like Quentin's ability to make moderately difficult plays look impossibly hard have won him Hawk's heart. Jermaine did the exact same thing with high flyballs to the track, lucky for us I don't think Quentin's nearly as bad as Dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Haha Jermaine was the master at the easy catch that looked hard, particularly his last two years here. Hawk would always go absolutely postal when he did it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
