Does anybody like Ozuna as DH while Thome sits?

Pods in left, Gload back on the bench.

He didn't exactly show it there, but I think the extra rest has already done PK a lot of good.

Atleast Detroit is losing.

Bot 3 Recap

 

Anderson pops out to first base.

 

Ozuna singles to left field.

 

Iguchi bunt singles to third base. (Ozuna advances to 2B)

 

Konerko grounds out to shortstop (double play)

 

 

2 Hits

0 Runs

Rheinecker 37 pitches through 3 IP.

By the way, it's 4-1 boston over Detroit right now. Bottom 6.

Is BA the worst hitter in baseball?

Lead off double by DeRosa.

Buehrle is missing his spots big time. Leadoff double.

Buehrle's going outside a lot again, and they're hitting it hard.

Anyone else sick of the Rangers hacking on the first pitch? Brush them off the plate!

Anybody else?

Is BA the worst hitter in baseball?

 

Yes

Is BA the worst hitter in baseball?

No. I believe Bobby Howry is.

We're going to have to keep scoring today. The Rangers bats hard hot.

Anybody else?

 

I wish our hitters had half of the plan at the plate that the Rangers hitters do.

Buehrle's going outside a lot again, and they're hitting it hard.

 

 

He needs to run some cutters inside to setup that outside pitch. If he just goes outside, the hitters start diving over the plate, and when a ball comes back over the plate it gets crushed.

Buehrle pitches out of it nicely, to the bottom of the 4th.

Good job overcoming the leadoff double.

Phew! Buehrle leaves DeRosa at second. Lets go offense!

Is BA the worst hitter in baseball?

 

Not even close.

 

If you were joking, put it in green.

Hawk and DJ are talking about how the same way people attack Buerhle is the way we should attack the Rangers pitcher.

I assume he was referring to MLB starters. I haven't looked at the league statistics, but does he have the lowest batting average among guys with over 100 ABs?

Some of the other worst hitters in baseball (by batting average):

 

Mike Sweeney

Jason LaRue

Tomas Perez

Brian Anderson

Casey Kotchman

Marco Scutaro.

 

He's doing pretty bad, but he's not the worst.

Not even close.

 

If you were joking, put it in green.

 

Why the hell would you think I was joking. BA only has 18 hits this year. The guy is god awful at the dish.

 

Name me someone who is worse than him.

For any of you people who dislike Harrelson and Jackson, they are dispersing excellent baseball strategy info today that only insiders would know. Great stuff. DJ is talking about almost every Texas hitter and how to approach them.

I'm not talking about batting average. You have to be joking if you think Mike Sweeney is at Anderson's level.
