WTF are we waiting for ? Call up Viciedo !

Something else that no one seems to be talking about is that Viciedo is killing RHP.

Last year, when he was called up, he was given a lot of playing time vs. LHP. It appears that he may be even a better hitter against RHP.

Currently, Viciedo is hitting .341 against RHP, .274 against LHP.

You know what that means.... Ozzie will bench his ass against all righties.... If he is able to be called up.

 

He'll base it on last years always vs. Lefties thing.

Gwinnett Braves just intentionally walked him in the 3rd inning to get to our clean up hitter, Flowers. The entire world knows he should be in the Bigs.

 

Flowers delivered a 2B BTW.

Isn't Santiago probably done for the series after his workload tonight? Has anyone given any thought to sending Santiago down, going with a short pen for 3 games and inserting Dayan's bat into the lineup for the rest of the 3 game series? Then the Sox would have 4 days to figure out what to do next. Thoughts?

Dare we say we're to the point Viciedo is walking TOO much, haha?

 

Never thought he'd be piling up the walks like this. In our line-up in Chicago, the same thing might happen to pitch around him in order to get to the 8-9-1 hitters.

 

I wonder if he can work his OBP up to .400? He is up to .372 with only 66K's in 339 PA's.

I am taking a guess for fun and predicting if DV gets to 500 PA's at Charlotte his stat line would be similar to this on the very basic stats:

 

1. 500 PA's

2. .330 BA

3. 28 HR's

4. 105 RBI's

5. .380 OBP

6. 100 K's/45 BB's

 

Just for fun. Obviously I want him to come up to the show.

Yes a lot of us wanted Dayan up for this series. But the Sox are determined to plod into the all star break with no changes. Hopefully after this series embarassment the changes begin.

With the way the season has gone so far, I wouldn't be shocked at all if he finally did get the call up and just fell right on his face.. It would just be another kick to the groin this season, and fitting with the way things have gone thus far

 

With so many people severely under performing we should be thanking the baseball gods we are still in it

How the heck can anybody say we are in it?

We are the worst team in the Central Division in terms of winning head to head games. After these 19 games vs. the Central it mercifully will be over.

Cmon man we have the best pitching; that's gotta count for something at the end of all this. Now what the hell do we do with Rios Beckham Pierre and Morel? Something big has to happen there, big changes. Thankfully Pierre might have value again to another team; well at least enough value where we don't have to pay all of his salary :headbang
