max power Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) The first step would be dropping to 8. If they really want him to start 6-60, then what choice do they have? Just lose with him? At that point, let him go down and figure it out. Now that I've jinxed this sufficiently, he'll go 3-4 tonight. I agree with that. Until he shows something, he should be batting close to last. 3-4? Let's hope so.

flavum Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) So there was a 41 ab hitless streak in his first full season. I thought even that part was bull. How many games was it? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...atting_gamelogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 05:09 PM) Ventura was 15-65 (.231) in his career when the 0-41 started in his last AB 4-18-90. His AB before the 0-41 started was a HR off Clemens. Thanks. So I guess he bottomed out around .142 near the end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 12:15 PM) Pot jokes on 4/20 Actually, the Sox have quite the smokey team name-wise. Besides the obvious Danks and our colorman, the Stone Pony: Is there a stonier band than Floyd? "Ventura Highway" by America is a bit organic - "Chewing on a piece of grass..." Oh,man I must be wasted, I'm Jones 'n for a Twinkie Sorry fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Late starts are great here in China, 10 am on Saturday morning. But tmrw will suck, the game time is 4 a.m. here. Maybe I'll wake up early Sunday and catch the tail end of it, since I probably won't be missing much of an offensive display or excitement the first 6 innings or so. Looking at batters 4-5-6-7 in our line-up, we actually look like a halfway decent offense. Edited April 21, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Great approach by DeAza to start the game. Let's get him over, please. Or a steal, but no CS. Team 8/12 stealing now. Brent at least battled there and didn't give in...still fouling everything to the right hand side. Edited April 21, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Getting great at-bats this inning...Noesi's working so slowly, already at 30 pitches. Just can't give them a DP ball, Alex. Good swing there, Rios. Has had very strong results against SEA. CHW are 16-3 against SEA since 2010, 7-2 last year. Could have been a bigger lead, but that's the best series of at-bats from Sox hitters in a while. Made Noesi throw 38 pitches. Dunn now leading the team with 6 doubles. A lot of those will be homers when the weather heats up. Edited April 21, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
