Very rarely do PH numbers impress anybody. Many have said that it is incredibly difficult to pinch hit. Timo has a bunch of big hits, a couple game-winning. This is one situation where Hawk's "don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it applies."

 

 

Timo hasnt been a pinch hitter. He has been our first bat off the bench. He has more ABs than any of our bench players. That is not a pinch hitter, thats a sub.

Politte needs to pick it up, his splits so far this month aren't good at all. We need some momentum heading into the bottom of this inning.

 

Your wish is granted.

I am waiting for the ball to hit him in the junk one day on that.

...Then throw him in my dumpster.

Ok, Timo, how about with RISP?

 

.200/.276/.320 line.

 

How about with RISP and two outs?

 

.250/.308/.333.

 

How about with men on and two outs?

 

.192/.276/.269.

 

Yep, certainly applies here.

My line up tomorrow.

 

Iguchi 2B

Uribe SS

Everett LF

Konerko 1B

Dye DH

Rowand CF

AJ C

Anderson RF

Crede 3B

 

Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH.

 

Everett has got to DH. He's still not 100 percent. AJP will be higher up in the order. I love your idea though. Uribe is the type of guy who will likely be better higher up in the order, where he has to concentrate more with moving runners over, etc.

how did griffey clear waivers when our offense blows this much dong.

Haven't had one of our patented 8th, 9th inning comebacks in awhile.

 

Now would be an ideal spot with several tough relievers due up these next two innigns.

He's been terrible as a pitch hitter this season.  His numbers suck in the situations that Hawk and Ozzie think he's amazing at.

 

Ozzie's manager of the year. Only tonight, it's on the planet Nimrod.

Do you know how waivers works? If not, look into it, and you'll get your answer.

My line up tomorrow.

Keep Carl off the field where he can injure himself.

The next "most important" hits come when leading off an inning..... What does Timo do in that situation? (Hint: Use ESPN splits.)

Ozzie's manager of the year. Only tonight, it's on the planet Nimrod.

 

He's been on vacation to planet Nimrod for about 3 weeks.

If we picked up Griffey, we would take his WHOLE contract. If a trade is being negotiated, Cincy is probably being talked into taking some of the money.

Somebody please drive Timo to a cornfield in Iowa and leave him there until Nov. 1

We've been facing better bullpens lately than what we were facing when we had those great comebacks. Where's Andy Sisco when we need him?

My line up tomorrow.

Konerko 1B

Dye DH

Rowand CF

Anderson RF

It'll never happen. Iguchi really isn't a leadoff hitter at all. I think if Iguchi plays, you'll see Ozuna in the lineup to bat leadoff for him unless Timo's in the lineup.

Everett has got to DH.  He's still not 100 percent. 

 

True, Wasn't sure if ANderson plays RF or LF or both.

My line up tomorrow.

 

Iguchi 2B

Uribe SS

Everett LF

Konerko 1B

Dye DH

Rowand CF

AJ C

Anderson RF

Crede 3B

 

Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH.

 

Timo has a .294BA against Radke lifetime. Ozzie will use him for this game. If he starts him against someone that he is 0-7 against, he will most definately start him against Radke.

 

Carl has a .179BA against Radke.

Dye is batting .148 against Radke.

Uribe is 143BA against Radke.

 

Nope Ozzie will start Anderson on Wednesday against Santana. No matter what he does, Timo will bat leadoff again on Friday.

It'll never happen. Iguchi really isn't a leadoff hitter at all. I think if Iguchi plays, you'll see Ozuna in the lineup to bat leadoff for him unless Timo's in the lineup.

 

Ozzie said today that Iguchi would leadoff.

"Tell me when you hit it."

 

Ok, Timo, how about with RISP?

We've had this discussion before. And we disagree. Those numbers include when he starts. Since he has been with the team he has been more than adequate in PH dutites. He's won or tied numerous games the past couple of years in big pinch hitting situations.

True, Wasn't sure if ANderson plays RF or LF or both.

 

I honestly think I heard Ozzie said he'd play Anderson in CF, and Rowand in LF. I might be wrong, but that's what I thought I heard before the game.

He's won or tied numerous games the past couple of years in big pinch hitting situations.

 

What is 'numerous games'? 2?

3 ABs and 3 full counts for Uribe tonight. He looks decent as a #2 hitter.

Uribe seems to have his swagger back. Keep him in the 2 spot for now.

Fine, Look up his pinch hit numbers .... He sucks there too...

 

Don't let a couple "game winning hits" distort your view.... f*** I'd ratcher have Kelly Dransfeldt in the line up.
