JoshPR Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I would have given up already, called up Viciedo, danks and who ever else, let them play at least make losing interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) Greg...chill I don't like Gordo's approach, his stance, the way he uses his hands. Just lost faith in him. 1-2-3 vs. Soria is a given here. He is good; we not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling up Viciedo isn't giving up, it's making this team better. Going with this same 25 man roster could be considered just riding out the stretch.

Greg Hibbard Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) His numbers across the board have trended downward for 3 seasons now. He's not 20 or 21. He'll be 25 soon and he was supposed to be this "advanced" hitter with a natural "feel" for the game. He's basically an fundamentally-challenged, mental midget. He hasn't even played 324 games (2 complete seasons worth of games) yet. Across the board trending downward? He had his best half of baseball in terms of AVG/OBP in the 2nd half of last season. Over his past 365 days, he's hitting just below his career average. I don't evaluate him until the end of this season. I think it's premature to write him off now.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 You can't summarize how offensively pathetic our offense is better than WGN just did by making the "Ford Drive of the Game" our pitcher having a nice inning in his MLB debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Because I don't think he's maximizing his God-given ability. It's a waste, a shame, however you want to describe it. Dunn's just lost mentally. That's not about lack of effort...that's simply trying too hard and thinking too much. It just usually doesn't last for this long. If you want to compare, except for the first 2-3 months of 2010, Rios has been lost for almost 3 years at the plate. And his defense has deteriorated markedly this year. It's clear to everyone who follows the team closely. I agree with you 100%, it's my same beef with lexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't evaluate him until the end of this season. I think it's premature to write him off now. I'm not writing him off. And I was one that was encouraged going into this season because of his markedly improved second half from last year. But he's reverted right back to his first half struggles from a year ago. Not encouraging for a guy that will be 25 in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 This is one of those games if you go to in person u leave just saying, "Why did we come to the park today? We could have hit the beach or the Museum of Science and Industry?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
