Balta1701 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 13, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) Gotta love taking the bat out of the hands of the guy who is one of the top 20 power hitters in the AL yet letting Rios bat. Good thing this game doesn't really matter. Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) Huh? Isn't Nix top 20 in the AL in home runs per AB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Nix can look as bad as anyone. He does not know how to adjust during an AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I saw nothing in this team that lead me to beleive they should make the playoffs. Yet when this day started if the Tigers lost and Sox won I would have had interest and belief. The Sox rotation really has a shot of being great next year which is good. Say what you want about the bullpen but the Sox are 2-3 in their last five and have not scored more than 4 runs. This offense is abysmal and down right pathetic yet Rios is the only guy called out.

SoxPride56 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Jermaine Dye sucks. Why isn't he benched? Wise can be doing this. If he is hurt, he needs to sit, he is just hurting the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is hurt, he needs to sit, he is just hurting the team. Doesn't really help to have Wise play for Dye if he doesn't do any beter than Dye. That makes as much sense as saying let's trade Buerhle cause he has only 1 win for his last ten starts (which he has) There are plenty of slumping players on this team. Not having the left handed power bat of Thome in there anymore doesn't help either. Edited September 13, 2009 by elrockinMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Rios has hit worse than Dye in the 2nd half. At least for the most part he can catch the ball. Dye is hitting .170BA/.547OPS and continues to hit in the 3-4-5 part of our lineup. I can't stand Wise, but at least he can catch the ball. The only RF that is probably worse in the field is Abreu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This offense is abysmal and down right pathetic yet Rios is the only guy called out. I'm sure we Rios haters won't mind if you call out the rest of the slumbering hitters. Let's face it. It's been a very very frustrating season. Sox don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Can we all agree on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
