I missed that game and when I listened to the clip on MLB.com I was cracking up for a while. Sounded like Hawk was asleep there for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a really bad player He didn't "run into one" he f***ing pulled his hands in, rotated his hips and drove a rocket into the gap for 2 RBI. If he can hit any inside fastball like that consistently, even ones at 89-91 he's gonna solve a lot of his problems at the plate. f*** la roach clip.

Baron Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Really it's his defense that is really punishing Garcia and the team right now. They'll have to figure that one out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I am not going to try to convince everyone that Avi will be a good ball player. When he reaches his potential all his haters will act like they always knew he had potential I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Next time we get a DH, we might want to find a hitter actually accustomed to and comfortable sitting on the bench or simply junk it for the rotating/resting 4-5 guys idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackattack Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) Ran into one? He has been hitting the ball well lately no matter how much you think he sucks He has 4 HR this month which is really the only good part of his line. Everything else is consistent with crappy Avi batting lines and he had gone the whole month of July without even snagging 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try and see how he is at 1B next spring, tell him to take some ground balls or play in the winter league and take some reps there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he reaches his potential all his haters will act like they always knew he had potential I am sure. I won't. I'll eat hats or whatever. And I'll only be bitter about it if it happens when he;s on another team. I love it when Avi gets hits -- it feels like finding money on the ground in the parking lot. I'm really glad Avi just drove those two runs in, but he's still in the midst of a sub-replacement-level season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he reaches his potential all his haters will act like they always knew he had potential I am sure. Nobody would argue about that potential. On the other side of that is 1000 at-bats of experience and his lack of noticeable improvement on defense...perhaps a couple of spectacular plays at the fence have overshadowed that (along with a number of assists).

I am sure they are reluctant to do it again. I think Laroche who is a gold glove fielder might be better playing the field. Maybe?!

We have a DH for the foreseeable future, his name is Jose Abreu. He has a career .916 OPS as a DH, and .917 OPS as a 1B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
