LDF Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 did anyone found it interesting that Dunn was in the outfield? It is as if the sox was trying to showcase him, maybe with Dunn approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 did anyone found it interesting that Dunn was in the outfield? It is as if the sox was trying to showcase him they were playing in an NL park with no DH, and two starting OF on the DL, maybe with Dunn approval.

elrockinMT Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The Sox wanted his bat in the line up. They are trying to win games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 For once, we really want Dunn's bat in the lineup and I'm fully supportive of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The guy has a .900 OPS this year and has looked like the real Adam Dunn. This is nothing more than getting his bat in the lineup even if it does mean sacrificing a little defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think after his boneheaded base running play he'd be eager to help Q but I digress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think after his boneheaded base running play he'd be eager to help Q but I digress. He was nonchalant no doubt, but he had 0.00000000% chance of throwing out JS. We know it. He knows it. You would think that it was a pop up to short left field and he rolled it back to Alexei by the way the thread played out. Plus, what if he actually tried to throw him out, and hurt himself? That would be the kind of comical tragedy that would happen to the Sox this season, Dunn blows out his elbow in his walk year trying to throw out a runner he had no shot at.

Yeah, plus you can't look at Samardzija as a pitcher running. He's only a few years removed from being a potential high round NFL draft pick at WR.

He was never going to get Samardzija but everything he did just looked so unprofessional out there. Plus he had all of those awkward stretches at 1B.

You have to wonder what kind of shape this guy is in. I do have to say, on that play that he stretched for the high throw that ended up being reviewed, if that were Konerko or Abreu out there the runner would be safe.

LDF Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 6, 2014 -> 06:04 PM) He still makes 15 million dollars to play a major sport. I thought he could at least act like he ran on a treadmill a couple times this winter. Every time he got the ball it was just kind of a lackadaisical run through as if he was fielding balls in BP. oh man, that was cold ...... yet funny.

Adam Dunn seems like a very nice guy but he's been 'stealing' money from the White Sox during his pathetic tenure on the South Side. Why can't some just accept the fact that some of us fans despise what he's done in the batter's box and on the field for the White Sox? If you all like Dunn, fine. Some of us think he's been horribly bad and a symbol of our franchise's decline in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
