Anybody take a second to learn that left-handed hitters fare better against the actual pitcher opposing Sox hitters today and therefore Ozzie stacked the lineup to reflect the best chance for success? No? Didn't think so. Please continue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 With rios comming around (at least for this series) the odd man out is Pierre and his bunt faking ass, why no morel? I don't give a rodents behind what he's hitting, but his defense is superior and that's enough to keep him in the lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? Didn't think so. Please continue... Anybody take a second to learn that Brent Lillibridge's improved defense in LF would most likely be more valuable than any offensive contribution Juan might make that Lillibridge could not, because of the handedness of the Oakland SP?

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Teahen at 3B, Dunn at 1B, and Pierre in LF? Even Beckham is probably better defensively than Vizquel at 2B. I guess Ozzie doesn't want Humber to have any defense behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Brent Lillibridge increased his bat control, resulting in more contact! Brent Lillibridge has gained more power! Brent Lillibridge has improved his plate discipline! Brent Lillibridge positions himself better, his range in LF increases ... Brent Lillibridge positions himself better, his range in CF increases ... Brent Lillibridge positions himself better, his range in RF increases ... Juan Pierre seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact ... Juan Pierre has lost some power to the gaps ... Juan Pierre has lost a step, his speed drops ... Juan Pierre lost some momentum, his steal ability drops ... and yet, Ozzie has still not checked his player developmental report. THAT'S THE FIRST THING I CHECK!

max power Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Juan had two hits, but he also failed to execute a bunt. It was a mixed bag today. Of course, you have to be happy with that kind of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I love how Hawk says Juan Pierre has really struggled with his bunting this season. Funny because I seem to remember keeping a running tally of his failed bunt attempts last year when he was falling behind 0-2 or popping out in seemingly every bunting situation.

greg775 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Pierre is not that good, but he's not deserving of the venom he gets on this site. I don't like slap hitters like Juan, who also has lost a step stealing bases and in the field, but he's not one of the worst players in baseball, either. People got on me for praising Bobby all last year saying it was 'ad nauseum.' We get it. Most of you hate Juan. Why beat the same ol dead horse over and over and over? At least shut up when some of us beat a dead horse on things you don't want to hear about cause we get it ... Juan sucks and you hate Juan ... on and on and on.
