Paulie4Pres Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Not sure what happened, but I'd take Brian Anderson, or even Wise over him at this point. We wouldn't lose anything offensively, and at least they can play the field. MVP first half, MDP second half. Is he bitter or something?

MexSoxFan#1 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I haven't the slightest clue what's wrong with JD but he needs to sit...maybe he has some kind of injury because he was awesome in the first half of the season and equally as bad the second half. We might be seeing the end of JD's playing days with the sox,it's a shame because for the most part has been one of our best players we had on the south side in every way,a real pro.

Paulie4Pres Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think he's just mentally jacked or something. I think it started with him not making the All-Star roster, with the awesome numbers he put up, then the trade rumors, him being shopped, then the acquisition of Rios. I think maybe he's just fed up and feeling underappreciated? No clue but he needs to get over it. I do think he's been one of the most underappreciated guys we've had on this team aside from the WS MVP he won, but that's really no excuse. He's playing like he's got a pretty bad injury, but that obviously isn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 In my view, as good as Jermaine was in the first half of this season, that's how as bad he's been now. -Tim McCarver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 He had a chance for a rare feel good moment and couldn't get the walk off hit. It's sad what's going on with his bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeynach Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hes old and getting older. When sluggers age they have a tendency to slow down a bit as the innings and games played piles up in the 2nd half. Its not shocking, this is what normal aging sluggers do without steroids and HGH, get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill say it again he acted the same way prior to signing an extension with the sox. tell me he didn't mope around. then after he signed he started coming out of his funk. I'd say KW is not going to resign him due to the cost of his contract. Dye is a good guy if Im wrong he needs to get out of his funk for anyone to sign him next year.

In fact, I'd go a step further and say he's been worse in the second half than he was good in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Dye is 20 for his last 106 going back to August 1st, for about .188. Going back to the All-Star break he is 29-160 for .181. I really hope it is an injury problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus kinski Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 He is just lost up there-and not just slightly off. I dont believe I ever saw an intentional hit batsman before last nite when Konerko was pegged to get to Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thinking about all the close games we lost in the 2nd half, all the times we had trouble scoring, if Dye had hit just in between his 1st half and 2nd half numbers for the last two months, I think we would could be only like 2 games back now, not 6.5, especially with all the time he spent in the 3-hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was struggling for way too long before he was pulled from the 3 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Lets not forget, had he not honored his handshake agreement with KW, Dye could have been a Texas Ranger in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think you are right. He has to be hurt, which will probably be revealed once the season ends. He'll want the reason known he suddenly couldn't hit. He's just flailing at offspeed stuff and can't hit a fastball either. He should be shut down if his back is bothering him.

hogan873 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 We can't forget what JD has done for the Sox. World Series MVP...need we say more. But, there's is definitely something wrong. He looks uncomfortable at the plate and otherwise disinterested. Even after the emotional 13th inning win last night he looked like he was upset. I want to hope that it's an injury, because I can't believe that he doesn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Even in early 2005 when JD was coming off of his leg injury and was just totally out of it, he didn't look this bad for this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
