Knackattack Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Q! is on fire lately, and just looks a lot stronger and more comfortable at the plate. Am I the only one noticing that he is looking a lot more like the Carlos of old as he heats up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 He looks great. Even when he really stunk he was knocking in runs, so I think he's back. I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yes, he is back. I don't care if he did it off of Scott Kazmir, Anthony Lerew, and some other scrubs. The April/May Q wouldn't have done any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyLawRules Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Since June 9th, TCQ has put up the following numbers: .326 BA 12 HRs 29 RBIs 21 Rs .802 SLG .419 OBP 1.221 OPS ...and the Sox are 25-5 during that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a real DH and Beckham gets going in the second half, our team will be ridiculous. We will have a good lineup to complement our fantastic pitching staff. But I'm not greedy, 1st place WOOOO!

chitownsportsfan Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yea he's back. I would continue to try and protect him by using him as a DH. Sox need to keep this guy healthy and as long as Jones is on this rollercoaster ride (he's going up now) he should be out in RF because he's very good out there whereas Q is average at best. Sox' offense really is "stars and scrubs". You have Rios/Kong/Q with an wOBA total of .385 (that's really good) but you also have guys like Pierre, Beckham, AJ that are just having horrible years. Even though Q is only batting .244 he's had rotten BABIP luck but his power numbers and isoD are as good as ever. I am expecting a 250/345/520 line with 30+ dingers and around 110 RBI when it's all said and done. That's the sort of power threat this team is going to need to make a pennant push.

chw42 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I just checked for sure, the combined wOBA of the 3 is .383. Those three have produced 43 batting runs, the team itself is at -14 batting runs as of yesterday. So the success of the second half on offense isn't really up to these three, it'll take a big turnaround from Beckham, Pierre, Kotsay, etc to really make this a good offensive club. You can get these guys help, but unless the guys that are already here produce, this offense will be pretty mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the offense will ever be anything other than mediocre unless you see something flukish happen where Jones goes on a tear, Pierre heats up, AJ starts actually taking walks, hell freezes over, etc. Luckily with this group of pitchers an average offense will suffice.

DukeNukeEm Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Beckham is figuring it out again... which may become a critical component of our 2nd half run trying to hold 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Is TCQ back? Yes. Do we still need to acquire another bat? Yes. The good news is that with TCQ back, if we acquire one solid bat it should be enough to where the offense isn't a noticeable liability anymore.

Lillian Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Here's an interesting stat: In a White Sox uniform, Carlos has now hit a total of 76 homers in 1,093 at bats. That's a homer every 14 at bats, which projects to 40 homers per season. This year he is right on that same pace of one home run per every 14 at bats. "Is he back?" He never left. He struggled a little with his average, but he has been driving in runs all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 One thing that is interesting is that Q only has a career BABIP of .266, this year he's down to .223. Given even average luck and he'd be looking at a 270/370/550 line, and that would be a monster year. The guy is not made of very sturdy stuff though, hopefully he can stay healthy. He should be DHing as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
