NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) he bats 5th in the lineup not 6th or 7th! U get them situations u make the most of them! excuses are for children , Rowand needs to show production! His slugging percentage is off the wall! Sad when over half the leadoo hitters in MLB have a higher slugging percentage than him! Nice production from the 5 hole! Hate to say it but our best clutch hitter in a long time is with the Tigers! Dye bats 5th in the lineup.......when he doesn't have a bug bite on his ass. But then if you could look past 1 game you'd know that huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxpranos Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 No unlike Rowand.. manny makes u pay when runners on base including with the bases loaded! Hence the 90 rbi compared to our great CG with 30 something, disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Didn't he also hit a couple of homers in the series? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually he only hit one, and that was off an injured Kerry Wood who was lobbing 87 MPH fastballs. But of course it all looks the same in the box score which is why Dunn is such a great player. :rolly He was 3-16 in the 4 game series against the Cubs. Again, with what I saw, I wasn't impressed with Dunn AT ALL. Edited July 24, 2005 by santo=dorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he's also an extremely dangerous, young hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankensteiner Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) Point is neither has done the job with men in scoring position this year ( at the rate that should be). Uhh, no. The point is that Adam Dunn is better than Konerko. Dunn's ratio of ABs w/RISP (70) to RBIs (59) is 1.18. Compare that to David Ortiz who is at 1.19 (103 ABs w/RISP to 86 RBI). I don't really know what rate you want Dunn to be operating at, but he's clearly up there with the league's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
