Balta1701 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) I guess referring to me as Joe as many posters have is all done in good fun. Got no problem with nicknames, but you personally referred to it as "egging a person on". If that's your goal...then quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Because you're parroting the exact same views as a certain someone, so how can we be mocking you, M-34? Your views are virtually indistinguishable. Konerko doesn't see the ball get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Man 14, you have to get 3rd on that, even if there's 2 down. DV waved you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Alexei had that clutch 2 run double against the A's in the Santiago game 14 inning game, but he's shown almost ZERO XB power this year. His OPS is below Viciedo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) consistent failure with RISP this season. Like last season. And the season before that. It has been consistent with one exception, that miraculous 26-5 run in the middle of 2010. Other than that, definitely. Playing better on the road, no home field advantage whatsoever. Struggling against journeymen, rookies, soft-tossing lefties. Talented bullpens, but maddeningly inconsistent. Offense seemingly never clicking all at the same time. Tons of mental mistakes (Dunn in the 1st, Konerko not advancing)....missed relay men, bad routes, bad baserunning, throwing to the wrong base, missed bunt attempts (see Alexei Ramirez triple play ball in 2011), dropping balls that should be caught (Rios/Pierre/DeAza), etc. We still look a BIT better in this area than 2011, but not by much. One definite improvement, holding runners and throwing out runners, but even more K's than last year with Dunn, because of Morel/Beckham/Viciedo struggling simultaneously.
