His defense this year has been nowhere near as good and crisp as it was in the past. Uribe has 4 home games left in his Sox career.

I agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence. How confident are you about the second? I would love for him to get moved, but do you think Ozzie/KW agree?

Two things:

 

- Crede's approach at the plate is just laughable right now.

 

- Does anyone know what Thome is hitting against lefties since the ASB?

.197...ouch.

I agree, but he's still a very good defensive shortstop.

Your first one was a year old. The second one is a list of fielding stats. Would you like me to show you a variety of other fielding stats which show Uribe as not particularly near the top?

I agree, but he's still a very good defensive shortstop.

 

dunno if i would say VERY good. Average is what he's played like all year

HE QUIT ON THE TEAM! DID EVERYONE SEE THAT?! HE'S A QUITTER!

Nope, he didn't quit. He's just an overrated SS who can't hit his weight.

Thome: .197/.310/.296 in 71 At-Bats

 

Will somebody please e-mail DJ asking why he pronounces Ichiro's name like that?

I agree with that. I don't agree (as I said earlier) that he is the best defensive SS in baseball.

Nope, he didn't quit. He's just an overrated SS who can't hit his weight.

his listed weight, or his actual weight?

his listed weight, or his actual weight?

Actual.

Didn't Neyer have an article about how Crede and Uribe should win gold gloves this year?

 

He is an ESPN analyst and a Royals fan.

That doesn't matter. You said I wouldn't be able to find someone who agreed that Uribe was the best defensive SS in the league, I found someone.

I agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence. How confident are you about the second? I would love for him to get moved, but do you think Ozzie/KW agree?

 

Yes, I think we'll see a new SS here next year. We've already heard names like Lugo mentioned with the Sox.

That doesn't matter. You said I wouldn't be able to find someone who agreed that Uribe was the best defensive SS in the league, I found someone.

I don't understand the stats they're actually showing me...but if I'm reading that right, the same guy also says that Podsednik is the #3 defensive left fielder in the AL this year.

Because he is listed at the top of a statistical list doesn't mean that whoever put that list together thinks that metric describes the best defensive SS. I could list the top batting averages in baseball and that wouldn't mean that I think the player at the top of the list is necessarily the best hitter in baseball.

Was that name mentioned BY the Sox? I know that name is thrown around on this board a lot.

LMAO. I didn't catch that. Consider that metric worthless.

Well DJ did play in Japan for two years so I would assume he is pronouncing it correctly.

Yea for infield singles

 

Anybody wanna go to the game chat?

 

Thanks Ozzie way to call back to back hit n' runs...

KICK SOME ASS PABLO

Ozuna got a nice little crack in the head. As good as a hit!

I wanna see some pay back next half inning!

Office was solid tonight.

 

 

I needed to laugh that hard after watching this "team".

I wanna see some pay back next half inning!

Payback when a guy obviously just let one get away?

Are they afraid of getting suspended for the playoffs?

Cool. Another LH bat in the lineup. At least it isn't Pods.

Maybe they just don't want to go headhunting for no good reason.
