Balta1701 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 05:12 PM) Wasn't that our beloved Thome's forte? Oh wait....it wasn't. No, his forte was the 3 run home run that wins games 4-2. Like...for the Twins today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) Do you really have that much confidence in Juan Pierre? Pierre actually has sucess with RISP and is a contact hitter. Alexei doesn't have great discipline. Runner on 3rd less than 2 out, I'm more comfortable with Alexei cause he can hit the ball to the OF. Edited August 15, 2010 by J.Reedfan8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) horrible AB. Guess PK doesnt like straight fastballs. It wasn't a horrible at-bat. He at least worked the count. You make outs most of the time in baseball. If that was a horrible at-bat, most at-bats are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pena's in to blow this game open. Again, how is this ozzie's fault that 2 of the players (and 2 top hitters) failed? I don't understand the logic, its baffling. Was Pierre going yard?

caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well, thanks Tigers for proving the point that it would have been unwise to overspend on Putz for 2011. Now the problem is that we have to replace two back-end relievers with who exactly? Scott Linebrink? Pena? Sale makes sense, you can see him getting it done, but are we sure we want to make him the 2nd lefty out of the pen? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the logic, its baffling. Was Pierre going yard? We gave up the first out to a pitcher that was struggling mightily. We keep playing for one run when our pitching staff is falling apart. Tony Pena needs to not be put into close games, as he's fallen apart as well.

I don't understand the logic, its baffling. Was Pierre going yard? If Pierre were to single, that pushes Beckham to 3b and either a ground ball to the right or a fly ball might score him. Pierre probably has a 50/50 shot of hitting a ground ball to the right side even if he were to swing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Cross Pena off the list for next year too. He's nothing but DJ Carraso with better stuff. Sure, he's had 2-3 nice outings when he went long and saved us, but he hasn't done us any favors recently. I'm actually thinking we would be better off with Brandon Allen fo 2011.
