Ok. Now make them pay Carl.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) This board would be all over Adam Dunn's ass. First of all he won't be coming here so forget it IMO. Second, he strikes out about 1 time in every three at bats and has the tendancy to swing for HR's, hence the low rbi total despite the high HR total. The grass is always greener is guess, especially in the game threads. Exactly Jim. Good insight as always.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) That's SSI with the pull hard-on. The difference with Dunn trying to hit homers compared to a lot of the Sox guys is that if he gets a hold of it, the ball is gone. It's different than when AJP or Uribe are trying to hit homers all the time. I can't believe there are some that don't think Dunn is a great offensive player. Yet he's batting .246. If Dunn were on this team he'd get the Paul Konerko treatment.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) Ha, so everyone's abandoned talking about the game? No way. This game's far from over. We're going to score a good amount of runs this game. Dunn's a good topic of discussion though.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) Compared to our offensive players, it's not even close. Dunn is significantly better than any offensive producer on the Sox. Oye ve. You're the one who hates it when any player pulls the ball and you're the one who says this team tries hitting to many homers and you want Adam Dunn??

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:09 PM) Except that his OPS w/ RISP .943. And he's 25. Did I mention his OPS is .968 and he's hitting .246? Adam Dunn is probably the most underrated young outfielders in all of baseball, period. I'm with Jason on this one. It's a good topic though, Dunn overrated or underrated?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) We sure rocked Clement. On a night where he had nothing, we torched him for 4 runs in 6 innings. Here's what I don't get, if Clement the ace of the Red Sox staff has an off night we should rock him but if a mediocre pitcher has a great night we should still rock him. Baseball doesn't work like that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) I couldn't disagree more. Even in a so-called down year, his OPS is still one of the best in the NL. I truly believe that on the proper team, his K numbers would diminish. The entire Reds team just swings out of their ass. It's like how Pods had high K numbers with the Brewers last year, when everyone else was swinging out of their ass. I'd take Dunn over any Sox offensive player this season in a second. If Dunn were on this team you'd be complaining like crazy. You don't think Pauly's clutch? Wait till you get a look at Dunn. OBP is great and all you gotta be able to hit your way on base at times.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) I don't care what we did against the junk pitcher in Wakefield yesterday. This offense can't hit righty breaking stuff consistently. You're right, just use clement as an example. Oh.....nevermind.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) That's not saying alot. Actually it is, we have some pretty good clutch hitters on our team.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) Ortiz make u pay in that situation... Like yesterday?

Patient Paul, be patient.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) Carl is NOT a #3 hitter He's been our best clutch hitter all year, I'd take him in that 3 spot right now over anyone we got.

Damn. Great pitch there. Carl had his pitch and just missed it with the first pitch of the ab.

That a boy Tad. Cmon Carl this is where you shine.

Cmon Tad, got your rbi chance here.

Great ab right there by Scotty. Laid off some real tough pitches.

Nice play by Mueller on a nice bunt by Juan. Cmon Scotty drive him in.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Who was that one bench coach we had that was supposed to be the best sign stealer in the game? He retired a few years ago because of heart problems or something. Joe Nossek.

HE GAWN, good inning duke. Lets go O.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Rowand44......will you say something negative if PK gets caught stealing now? Pauly's to fast to get caught stealing.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 05:33 PM) Duque finally had himself an easy inning!!! Lightning has struck! His stuff the last two games has been much better then earlier in the season. He has to get ahead of Boston's hitters and not hang his breaking ball and he'll be fine.

That a boy Duque, now lets score some runs.

The Duke's just got to shut them down now. We'll score some runs today.

Lets just pretend that inning didn't happen. NEW GAME, start over this inning.
