DBAHO Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I haven't seen anybody disputing our ability to hit the home run since the season began, it's been more the OBP. What's that stat now compared to other teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that stat now compared to other teams? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember many sportswriters talking about how the loss of Magg$, Lee and Valenstache would affect our ability to hit the longball. Our team OBP is still crappy. We need Frank back. Edited May 23, 2005 by Jabroni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team OBP is still crappy. We need Frank back. But that was more before the season. Once the season actually started and the Sox started winning games, experts predicted in wouldn't last because they weren't playing smallball and were still relying on the homer.

Before the season, most of the sportswriters wrote about the "Sox loss of power" and predicted that we wouldn't be able to hit many homers after losing Magg$, Lee, and Valenstache. Obviously, they were wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the magnitude and how many times they are, in Kotex Boy's case, well it'd be the umpteenth time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they were wrong. Exactly...there was a lot of talk of 'loss of power' which was all bulls***. We still have plenty of homer power...but now we have other ways to score runs...we added more elements to the team...speed and defense were greatly improved.
