sox-r-us Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 17, 2005 -> 04:03 AM) You can't put both your catchers in the same lineup. Of course you can. If the catcher gets injured, you move the 1B to C and put Paulie back out there at 1B You are just plain wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no different than replace an injured catcher with the backup from the bench. If he gets injured, he gets injured. Of course, the catcher and 1B can collide on a foul popup and knock each other out, but that's a stretch as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox91403 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Paulie started the rest and lean thing in his stance last season and he credited it for his turn around. I have not seen him do that this season until last night's game, which Hawk and DJ pointed out. Walker calls it a trigger. Paulie may be bringing it back to try and get this figured out. I'm pessimistic with Paulie. I smell '03 here, Big Hurt please get back, like now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Of course you can. If the catcher gets injured, you move the 1B to C and put Paulie back out there at 1B You are just plain wrong <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The whole reason it's a risk is because if both of your catchers are in the same lineup and both of them get injured, you are screwed. Yes, it has a very slim chance of happening but it could happen. For example, A.J. could get pegged in the foot by a pitch (like he already has) and Widger could pull his groin (like Uribe did). You guys act like it's out of the realm of possibility. How many injuries did we have in that one week during the Oakland series? If Burke was on the roster over Kevin Walker, I would have no problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of that are only very slightly better than both catchers getting injured in the same game when one replaces the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 How long until Gload is scheduled to come back? Also with Frank coming back, that gives you a possible option, but I don't want to see him fielding at 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank even said he won't be playing 1st base this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 While I am a big fan of Konerko's, I can't take another at bat of his. :puke I keep hoping he'll pull out of this, but...I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) The constant strikeouts are the most disturbing trend. Watching fastballs down the middle of the plate with the game on the line for strike three is unacceptable. Thanks Mr Obvious, you're a lifesaver Like Konerko is thinking, "oh shoot a fastball, nah I don't want to swing at that pitch down the middle. Nope, I am going to wait for the slider in the dirt, I can really crush that pitch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 17, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) Actually working for Crede though. He's at least getting a hit or on base once a game if not more. PK is an automatic out. I was at the game with some of my friends. In the 8th they were chanting Paulie!!! with the rest of the crow. I said, "STFU, Paulie hasn't done jack all year and he ain't starting now. Also, whenever people start that stupid chant, he does jacks*** the rest of the way, usually a rally killing DP or strikeout. Then some of my friends kept cheering and I bet one of my friends next to me that he would end up getting an out. And he did. Now that is a fan. Way to revel in your teams failure. Why would that make you feel good at all? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Crede is hitting .209 in May. Who are you watching? Konerko should sit for a day or two like Ozzie did with Dye. Not that Dye has lit it up, but he's certainly taking some better swings.
