flavum Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Eaton is just terrible at running through 1st base. It's not even about being lazy. It's bad base running. Edited June 24, 2015 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ramirez isn't going to be a big leaguer next year. You'd think he'd realize this is his last contract... If he's that torn up over Minnie's death he needs to take a leave of absence for the good of the team. Get it together buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will gamble a million dollars or so on seeing if he can find one more year, SS is that weak of a position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bad base running. I'm guessing he's hurt. Pretty much all the knocks on him (not the best clubhouse guy when things aren't going well, oft injured) have proven to be true. Of course, he also was worth 3 bWAR last season, so the positives were true as well. Going to be an interesting 2nd half for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Pressure the defense with speed. You bust your hump every time. When did guys lose these fundamentals. Still cracks me up thinking how in game one of the season Hawk was preaching how Vince Coleman was going to be a difference in how this team plays,,,,as with most things he could not be more wrong. Ramirez having the best season a shortstop had ever had was the another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea problem is that those 1 year deals are fully guaranteed, as we saw with Tank. I'd sign him for a million then if he sucked ass in spring, cya.

Against LHP, he has been useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor13 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) Eaton hustled so much last year that he was getting injured because of it. Now that he has the money and he has a year under his belt he feels like he can do whatever he wants and the s***ty manager allows it Management told him to dial it back a lot. If he doesn't have a chance to be safe don't go all out. Eaton had no chance on that play and he didn't go all out. That's on the management not Eaton. That's my opinion.

The offense quit when they arrived in Arizona. As the games get ticked off the schedule the poorly constructed nature of this team becomes more and more evident. Their hitting approach is that of an over anxious little league team. Swing at the first thing close to the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia has not hit a double down the left field line since 2013. Not a surprise, his mechanics are awful. Going forward, he seems more a part of the problem and not a part of the solution.
