lukeman89 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I was curious and wanted to find out how our players were doing in this situation because I feel like we have been consistently getting the job done in this situation. The stats back it up. Here are the guys on our team with more than 10 at bats in this situation. What is it that has this team clicking so well? I've been getting that eerie feeling I once had back in 2005. The feeling that we're watching something special happen. Dunn - 8/14 with 3 HR and 17 RBI with an OPS 1.865 De Aza - 9/17 with 1 HR and 20 RBI with an OPS 1.409 AJ - 8/15 with 1 HR and 14 RBI with an OPS 1.326 Alexei - 9/17 with 0 HR and 17 RBI and OPS 1.147 Tank - 5/13 with 1 HR and 8 RBI and OPS 1.145 Beckham - 5/11 with 0 HR and 10 RBI and OPS .930 Konerko - 4/13 with 0 HR and 8 RBI and OPS of .785 (WTF Paulie!?) As a team we are hitting .455 (60/132) and an OPS of 1.129 Heres the rest of the league for comparison our Runner on 3rd, lt 2 out league rankings for the last couple of years: 2011 - 12th in the AL and 22nd in MLB in OPS (.791) 2010 - 6th in AL and 19th in MLB in OPS (.816) 2005 - 1st in AL and 3rd in MLB in OPS (.973) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 De Aza's numbers are ridiculous considering he is a leadoff hitter, he just takes it to another level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Those numbers are ridiculous and unsustainable., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 06:49 AM) Those numbers are ridiculous and unsustainable., This, so let's enjoy them while they last. No way we put up a 1.100 OPS the whole year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Those stats are great, and what makes this team so much fun to watch. Something we haven't seen in those situations for the last several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) It is probably not sustainable, but the addition of Youk should help. How does Rios look? Edited July 5, 2012 by RME JICO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Dunn's numbers are absurd considering when he was with the reds he had a stretch of like a year and half where he was 0-40 or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
