Jake Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Jones .192 vs. LHB, .328 against RHB. VENTURA IS AN IDIOT. These are always not absolutely accurate because there are only certain kinds of opposite handed hitters they see and only certain times they see them -- not to mention sample size issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Nate Jones is on my mental midget list. That would be Ventura. All he has to do is look at the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Nate Jones is on my mental midget list. He's been very good this year, all things considered. Garcia wasn't touching an offspeed pitch from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He might as well have brought in Matt Thornton to face Garcia. Stupid, stupid managing. Once again, it doesn't matter, since we can't hit Scherzer or manage a single hit with RISP against this team, in this stadium. Wise has been great for us, but we need a healthy DeAza back tmrw in the worst way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't reversed. It's not like where Santiago was getting every RHB out at the beginning of the season but struggling with LHers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that was a reason why Jenks was using his curve less and less. AJ couldn't catch it. Edited September 2, 2012 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, this team controls their own destiny, but if they can't beat their main competition, then I guess we're rooting against the Tigers in the postseason.
