lasttriptotulsa Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) He's hit the ball pretty hard this year. He is showing a lot more value than most thought. Yep. His line drive percentage is 27% this year. Far and away the best he's ever had. Combine that with just a 13.7% strikeout rate and really he's probably been cheated a little bit by just having a .264 BABIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) I still think I would rather have Micah up here. Hope his defense is coming along in AAA If neither is going to hit, give me Sanchez, because he will catch the ball. Once Johnson starts to hit, we can talk. Johnson's got the higher ceiling for sure, and eventually it will be his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkChopExpress Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Do not let this game get to Hardy. I don't care how bad he's been, he is a Sox killer, and needs to make up for the botched DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 28, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Petricka? Eh...not sure about this. Unfortunatley I'd probably agree he's the best option out there right now if Robertson can't go. Although...Robertson going for one batter would actually be something I was ok with. Petricka has worked just about as much as Robertson the last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (harkness @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) Chris Davis hitting 300 against LHP but now lets go get the righty! In 33 ABs this year. Not a large sample size. His career OPS is 100 points less against lefties. Not every Robin Ventura move needs to be criticized especially in this case when it was probably the right call to stay with Duke. Sometimes a player just beats you. That's baseball.

Bob Sacamano Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) I really like what Shuck brings to the table. A good, solid, scrappy player. A lot of people on here seem to complain about him being on the team but every time he plays it seems like hes on base frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a player just beats you. That's baseball. Exactly and even if he homers, the Sox still lead. Try to avoid sending in another pitcher if you can. And there is no manager in baseball that would lift a lefty for a righty to face Chris Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
