I can't believe DJ just said the following "Scott wears rubbers so he can get a better dig in the dirt!"

Is your mind in the "gutter"?

Good work Konerko...first hit of the series...shot the ball to right field.

 

Very nice

Chavez is terrible. Talk about choking in a big series.

I can't believe DJ just said the following "Scott wears rubbers so he can get a better dig in the dirt!"

That's almost good enough to wind up in my sig.

 

DJ: "Whatever you do, just don't strap it on."

Hawk: We got another email here...

Pods has better offensive numbers FWIW, unless you care about slugging from the leadoff man. Sizemore does have a little pop.

 

It's pretty close tho. Sizemore is bueno.

Better offensive numbers?

 

Like what? Pods average is a whole 4 points higher and his obp is just a few points higher as well. Other than that...Sizemore has 19 Dingers, 31 2B, 11 3B, 97 Runs Scored, 76 RBI. But hey, I guess Scotty is better cause he steals a few bases

If Chavez is terrible than Crede is....?

Pods has better numbers than Sizemore? On no planet is Pods in Sizemore's league when it comes to offense this season. They're average is about the same, but that's where it ends. I'd take Sizemore before any other leadoff hitter in baseball this season.

nice job Chavez

 

Cleveland wins

At this point I'm not counting on Cleveland losing too many more games. We have to keep pace with them, and at least win 2 of the 6 against em.

:headshake :uhoh

DJ pwns your soul. Accept this and move on.

No love from the A's...Sox are going to have to win this division on their own.

Well I said if you care about slugging Sizmore is your man. I don't care about it as much from a leadoff man. I'm not saying I wouldn't take Sizemore. He's younger, but as leadoff men in that responsibility, theres not much diff.

I don't believe in the notion that Garcia only pitches good games against good teams. Garcia flatout stinks right now. As a matter of fact, I don't have any trust in any of our starting pitchers right now. I don't know the reason, but it seems like our starting pitchers have run against a wall or something! And that's not one or two. It's all of them!

 

Read carefully! Right Now as in This Game!

Sizemore also has 25 more Runs scored than Pods. Isn't that what you want out of your leadoff hitter?

A lot of players 3b hits come because of the ballpark they play in...the more nooks & crannies in the outfield, the more 3b hits you get. The Cell doesn't have any of them. Therefore, I consider triples to be a terrible stat to compare between different teams.

Nice pitch Freddy.

As you know, you're only a leadoff hitter one time in a game. After that, you really need to get offensive production from your leadoff hitter. Pods has picked up his RBI total lately, but to be around 20 as late as he was in the season was mediocre.

Sizemore also has 24 more Runs scored than Pods.  Isn't that what you want out of your leadoff hitter?

How much is that affected by the batting average with RISP of our #3 and #4 hitters?

 

Also...how many at bats does Sizemore have compared to Pods? Podsie was on the DL for 1 stretch, he's had quite a few other off days, and he was down for like 5 days earlier in the year with a leg problem too.

That is strictly a product of the guys behind you.
