Dick Allen Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) He got him to pop it up. Ozzie did the job. Cotts did the job. I don't think any pitcher is good enough to direct where weak little pop ups go to. Guys who have been as hot as Morneau have been get hits like that. Frank Thomas probably has at least 10 extra points on his career batting average with little dinks that fell within 2 feet of the RF line. Don't pitch to the hottest hitter in baseball and let him beat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 19, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) Just reminding you of last year. Thought I remember seeing you say it wouldn't happen again. It isn't worth coming much anymore really. That's why all of the really good posters don't come to the game threads anymore. It's just a big whine fest from 5-year olds. what defines a really good poster??? the ones who keep drinking the koolaid until its too late?

No, many of them were not very optimistic at all. They just didn't whine every 3 seconds when something went wrong like a 5-year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) It's not really even close. He's on an amazing stretch. Name someone who's been better? He's an RBI machine. Last 7 games: .273 average, 1 HR, 3 RBIs, OPS of .792. If he is the best player is baseball now, the game is in trouble.

If Jermaine Dye is an under the radar MVP candidate, so is this guy. Dye only has 2 homers and 2 RBI coming into tonight's game, so he's not very good. Also, Ortiz only has one homer in his last 9 games or so. I guess it means he's not a power threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneau is having a good all around season, but is no means near the best player in baseball right now. Would be funny to see what people post if Anderson dives and makes the catch. "Nice pitch Neal", etc... Overall, doesn't seem like we are gonna score more than 3. We come back to tie or take the lead and Freddy gave it right back. Freddy isn't a big game pitcher, he just says he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy isn't a big game pitcher, he just says he is. Even before the Morneau hit, we were saying it was the wrong call. Morneau might be the toughest out in baseball over the last 3 months. I simply can't believe Ozzie put him in a position to break open this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
