BigSqwert Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) Noppe. I agree with the Grobber that the weak NL argument is weak, although Adam Dunn is making a good argument that the AL pitching is much better. Show me proof that the NL is the superior league.

I'm sick of people acting like any stats in the NL are worthless cause it's well, the NL. Oops solo home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Solo homers don't matter with a 7-1 lead, but it'd be nice to get some more runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Dunn's hitting .193. Tell the truth. Did any of you think he'd be this bad? Do you think it's his weight? His attitude? Adjusting to the AL? Or age? I was excited when we got him. I thought he'd be the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's his weight? His attitude? Adjusting to the AL? Or age? I was excited when we got him. I thought he'd be the man. None of the above. I think he got completely out of rhythim by having the appendectomy right after the end of ST. Then, he came back too early and pretty much lost everything he built up in spring training. I think he's basically spent the month of May as if he'd been in spring training again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisoxfan09 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I´ll have to say this about Lillibridge, it seems this year he is playin for keeps. His whole outlook and demeanor seem to indicate he has a lot more confidence. His outfield defense (especially his jumps on the ball) is really good. Anyone have a different opinion?

I mean all the BP these guys take. I respect your point but don't buy it. Or at least it's confusing to me. I mean how long does it take? A full month of s***tiness and he'll be OK in June? I hope so. Or bat him eighth the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Nice to see Rios get a big hit, and PK continues to shine. As for Dunn, if he can't hit Garland and his 88 mph sinker, then there's a huge reason for concern. I'm not buying the appendectomy recovery excuse any longer. His bat speed is just non-existent.

Maybe it's the league adjustment, maybe it's just an abberation, but I am not buying the appendectomy excuse after a full freaking month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilCan Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Seriously. Why doesn't Ozzie play Lillibridge in LF or RF more and move Pierre to the bench where he belongs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan09 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What about this? DFA Pierre and keep Lillibridge in left. Can´t be any worse and I really see some effort from Lilli this year on both the O & D sides of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
