greg775 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 QUOTE (DukeofChicagoA1 @ May 28, 2013 -> 12:32 AM) Alexei sucks. He's overrated. Anyone disagree? I wouldn't say he sucks or is overrated. He's a bit above average, nothing special. Kepp with the predictable double play. Why not go to right field there, Kepp? Lousy at bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2013 -> 06:55 PM) It would be nice to see Connor batting 2nd with that line drive bat he has. Wouldn't mind getting him some more at bats, but god forbid we have two lefties to lead off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'd feel a lot better about this game if the score was 0-0 vs. Samarjia (sp). That mental error by Lexi still chafes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Among AL rookies, Conor Gillaspie ranks 3rd in WAR (0.8) behind Yan Gomes (1.1) and Justin Grimm (1.0). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2013 -> 06:54 PM) Everything that has been written, inferred/implied....going from the best defense in the AL to the worst with almost the exact same line-up except for AJ/Flowers and Beckham's injury. Many, many more fundamentals errors, missed cutoff men, base-running....it has been endemic, and a good explanation has never been provided, beyond the carryover effect from the last 6 weeks of 2012. How else can you explain it? Farmer saying more Cubs fans there than Sox fans by the sounds coming from the crowd on the DP. From the noise, you would have thought the throw got away or went into the stands, but it was Cubs' fans cheering.... For one thing, their best defensive player is out. For another Adam Dunn is playing a lot more first base. Everything that has been reported says the Sox did the same stuff this year during spring training. Making up they were complacent is silly. I don't know how spring training has anything to do with Ramirez forgetting to cover a base. It is something he has to do and has done just about every game.

greg775 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Robin Ventura must be the manager of the century to have this team at .500. Or is starting pitching that important? I mean how the hell is this team .500 compared to the Royals, who are 6 or 7 under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I am starting to really think Conor is our 3B of the future. I wish we could get him in more RBI situations though. Switch him and Dunn in the line up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any shortcoming probably goes back to spring training, and even though I wasn't there, it is safe to assume they pretty mush spent their days swilling beers and not working on their games. Robin probably bought the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
