    Now It's Personal -O.Cabrera Vs Renteria

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Wow I never realized how much of a whiny b**** Renteria was, sure obviously I dont understand the full story but this story makes Edgar out to be a sour pussy....and real mature on Renteria's part here..."He tried to engage Rentería in conversation, saying, "Man, it's cold out here, huh?" Rentería, planted at shortstop, stared straight ahead. He did not say a word."

    Actually I went to get a beer after that play...did they show Ozzie in the dugout at all?? Did he say anything?

     

    Yea I went away from the TV as well at the time, but you could tell Ozzie was pretty pissed though we all know Ozz isnt gonna stand for lack of execution and poor fundamentals for what shouldve been the end of the inning

    I played college ball for 4 years. And we worked on the play all the time as well. You make the snap throw to the base the runner is attacking, that player holds the ball high up to freeze the runner and you start him towards the base he used to occupy, and then you make one throw back towards the covered base. At least that what they taught us.

     

    Who knows all I know is there should NEVER be more than 2 MAYBE 3 throws in a pickle, our MIFs wouldve gotten their asses chewed for lack of execution there

    I'm not well versed on the science of rundowns, but shouldn't Uribe have thrown that to OC sooner as well?

     

    Yes, but Uribe didnt expect Gomes to turn on the jets like he did it caught him offguard, I think he thought he'd catch him for sure...it all starts with O-Cab throwing the damn thing like a hot potato when he got it from Kong...AWFUL execution and a real killer

    AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!

    good game, would've liked to see more O' figuring who was throwing against us

     

    who pitches tomorrow, floyd? it'll be nice to see him face a lineup other than detroit

     

    Eh it wont be nice considering he pwns Detroit, but it sure as hell should be interesting as he throws against a team not named the Tigers...good solid win tonight though helluva job JC

    Let's put it this way...based on their performance in recent years, I think Jim Thome has earned himself a longer leash than Juan Uribe.

     

    If Jim is putting up a sub 600 OPS in May/June, then there's clearly got to be something wrong and it's time to DL him and maybe try to find a way to use Fields/Anderson/someone else to get more production out of that spot. But I wouldn't bench him otherwise until probably the AS break. I've seen Jim Thome. I know what Jim Thome's bat can do, and I've seen Jim Thome be a very streaky hitter throughout his career, where he does get in to these funks but always breaks out.

     

    If Juan Uribe is hanging around the Mendoza line about a month from now, Mid-May, when a potential replacement for him completes a rehab assignment...then it's time. I've seen what Uribe's given me lately, I've seen him simply unable to improve on his numbers for 3+ years now, and he's off to a worse start this season than his April last year, which wasn't any good either. If Uribe can't turn his season around ASAP, then there's no great reason to keep giving him playing time.

     

    Remember this...as a rookie, a very raw kid who's been raw at every level he's landed at and who finally started getting things going in September (Faster than I expected) after a month in the big leagues...Richar put up a .230 BA and .695 OPS in his first 1/3 of a season. That's basically what the veteran Uribe put up for the whole year (and actually a better OPS for Richar). I can expect one of these 2 to get better with playing time. I don't think I can expect that from the toher.

     

    Yes and I'd agree obviously Thome is more established theres no debating that, but that wasnt my point...nonetheless though granted Uribe hasnt done anything to neccessarily deserve the starting nod yet I dont feel he's subject to have his position be taken away from him either especially from an unproven Richar but we will see

    If I was making my judgement off of Uribe by using this season as my only reason than maybe you got a point.... but than you look at the past 2 seasons where Uribe hit in the .230's with a sub .300 OBP....Thome only had a OBP north of .400 both years. Honestly, what were you trying to prove by comparing Uribe to Thome?

     

    You mentioned NOBODY should be in the lineup with a sub .200 BA thats why I referred to Thome, yes I know ones proven the others not but based on your theory you'd have Thome on the bench

    Thome has proven to be one of the best hitters in baseball, and whether he's slumping or not, pitchers don't forget how dangerous he can be.

     

    Uribe on the other hand has proven to be garbage with the bat, and hasn't shown any improvement. Horrible comparison.

     

    Yes I'm aware that Thome is a proven hitter but his post quoted as NO player under .200 should be in the lineup therefore I referred to Thome...obviously I'm not an idiot I know the difference between Thome and Uribe as hitters I was just basing it off his knowledge

    Uribe has done nothing so far to deserve the starting nod at 2B and don't know why anyone wants him to stay there. Granted, he does play good defense but when your batting sub .200 I don't care how good your defense is you aren't deserving a starting spot. I will say that I don't want the team to rush Richar back or anything of that sort, let him get completely healthy and a week or so in the minors before putting Danny back in action.

     

    I dont see what point you're making, granted Uribe cant hit a lick but based on your assesment Thome I guess shouldnt be in the lineup either as he falls in that sub .200 range as well...Lord, we're 11 games into the season, he's played a great 2B and hell if aint broke don't fix it we got enough boppers on this team anyways...

    Yeah, Williams needs to step up here. Either Boone and Bobby cut that awful beard, or let Buehrle go back to his tarp-sliding days.
