May 4, 200421 yr And that AB is exactly why Dranfeldt is on the first plane to Charlotte when Jose is ready to play.
May 4, 200421 yr Kelly really tried to do too much with the bases loaded instead of taking what the pitcher game him. At 2-0 their is no way he should of been swinging.
May 4, 200421 yr Author top of second DeBose pitching 2-1 Sox lead off walk Crede 5-4-3 AR walk Olivio pb; AR to 2nd Olivio wp; AR to 3rd Olivio W Uribe W bases loaded Dransfeldt 4 inning over - 4 walks no runs 3 left
May 4, 200421 yr Why is Dransfeldt batting second? This guy couldn't hit .250 in American Legion, let alone the American League.
May 4, 200421 yr he forgot that he is in fact a minor leaguer, and he just reminded himself with that at bat

May 4, 200421 yr Good line. I would guess Oz is trying to get Drans to see some fastballs with Maggs hitting behind him. It's good logic but obviously failed him because of the bases-loaded 2 out situation.
May 4, 200421 yr So quick to rip people all the time, it's one at bat, get over it and move on... I'm not ripping him. He's just proven over the course of his career he is not a very good hitter. The fact that he is hitting 2nd for at least the second time this season troubles me.
May 4, 200421 yr I'm not ripping him. He's just proven over the course of his career he is not a very good hitter. The fact that he is hitting 2nd for at least the second time this season troubles me. I believe he got a game winning hit not too long ago and no one was talking about how bad of a hitter he was.... He's not a good hitter, but he's trying to do the job assigned to him the best he can. I can admire that.
May 4, 200421 yr See my gripe is that Willie needs to get more playing time. He just reached based and I realize he may not be a great hitter against lefties, but I still think he's a better hitter then Dransfeldt, either way. Plus, Jose is going to be coming up in a few days and thats going to limit the playing time of Juan and Willie so until then, I want those two playing as much as possible. Of course I am not my usual self and am saying this after the fact instead of before, however its how I felt before seeing Kelly fail with the bases loaded (not saying Willie would of done any better).
