beautox Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) I was reading an article about Dave Duncan who is doing something for th DBacks these days. Supposedly he is totally into advanced metrics, but one thing he totally ignores is head to head match ups. He thinks the sample sizes are too small. I actually am kind of shocked by this considering he was a weak hitting catcher. I don't think it took him many ABs to realize he had no chance against certain guys. I'm sure Frank Thomas would love to tell him about Jeff Nelson; .161/.275/.194 line with 11 strikeouts in 40 ABs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Honestly I'd rather play Sierra in RF and DH Viciedo. That improves the defense and the offense. Not sure why Kong continues to start EVER against RHP.

He had little league stats against him for a while, then couldn't touch him for a few years, then hit him hard again. Â And the only reason the Sox signed Jeff Nelson was to get Frank when he returned to town with the A's. It didn't work out for KW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Masterson has proven during his career that he dominates righties. Unfortunately, this is the type of game that Konerko would have no business playing in if Abreu was still healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ May 27, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Usually you don't rearrange your lineup because of extremely small sample size stats against a particular pitcher  Are you saying the line up is fine because of the small sample size?? Because I can't remember when the line up has been Dunn-Ramirez-Viciedo in the 4-5-6 spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The average length of games has increased 29 minutes the last 10 years. They are now 3:08 on average. If they don't do something about it, it will hurt the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tell us what an idiot a guy who knows a lot more than any of us do about baseball is.  Eaton-Beckham-Conor-Viciedo-Dunn-Ramirez-De Aza-Nieto-Garcia  Need to get as many lefties in as possible and it is a toss up between Viciedo and Konerko to start but I would go with Viciedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
