The Ginger Kid Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:13 PM) So what do people think of Frank in the booth? i like Frank, but not in the booth. At least w/hawk blowing smoke up his ass. I had to change to the radio broadcast and turn down the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyRedGloveSWAG Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Is the home run by Castro the only one we have this series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 That's why the fans here love Getz. It's not always about sabes numbers. He is a good guy to have on a team, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm amazed he wasn't asked to bunt to lead off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 This is 100% a situation where a successful stolen base is the right move. Omar will bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) That's why the fans here love Getz. It's not always about sabes numbers. He is a good guy to have on a team, folks. When he's not injured at least. Or hitting somewhere around .250 Getz was ok last year, sucks this year.

greg775 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 A "successful" stolen base is always the right move. Problem is it aint always successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good guy to have on a team, folks. Like Mark Kotsay? I don't expect everyone to be into sabermetrics, but there's no set of criteria under which Getz is good.

I don't expect everyone to be into sabermetrics, but there's no set of criteria under which Getz is good. He had some good time and showed some promise last year with us. I thought he had a shot to develop into a legit contributor. This season he's regressed on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 might as well have konerko at 1st if you're going to give away an out like that. He didn't do that w/Pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
