Molasses Dye at it again..good lord.

Simpsons

 

Nope, Seinfeld. Kramer gets on as an extra in a Woody Allen movie. Eventually, he gets the line "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

I really doubt that.

 

So it's unreasonable to think he can hit .260/.270 while hitting for more power than those guys would?

I hear Swisher just got cast for The Passion of the Christ 2

On a side note to what somebody said before, SURE I'd take Blackjack and Deejay in the booth all the time. DJ is like a free man when Hawk's not in the booth with him.

 

I like this combo. BJ and DJ! And BJ tends to give a lot of really cool insights.

 

Sigh. We can wish, can't we?

Nice catch Anderson.

BA f***ERS!

Great play.

1) Anderson can't bunt to save his life

2) Every ball he pulls will end up in a double play on the infield...he can't instinctively go to the opposite field to advance a runner

3) Too many swings without contact...hit and run would be a disaster

4) Too impatient

5) Can't hit a breaking ball

6) He can't adjust his swing to hit sac flies

Just one example of why BA should be in there every day.

Based on his current approach and past results, yes.

In the 2nd part of last year, Anderson did a pretty decent job of dealing with #2, #3, and #4 on that list. Like I said, he needs to cut down on the swings and misses before he becomes good at that role, but I think he'll get there.

Thats why BA is in the game..just dont hit him 2nd.

And Anderson lays a huge egg in his only start for the next two weeks. Too bad he'll never be given a chance to get in a rhythm. So long BA, have a nice life in AAA/NL.

If anything, Anderson should be a late inning defense replacement for Pods

Brian saves hits = saves runs = I have no problem with him batting 270 in the 9 hole.

 

And I actually though Brian did a good job of hitting to the right side in the spring.

Based on his rookie year when he wasn't handled correctly? You can't just look at a guys rookie year, look what Alex Gordon is doing right now.

One would think.

Rally Borat time!

You have just described our 3-4-5 hitters right now.

Besides possibly winning last nights game what would that accomplish?

Just one example of why BA should be in there every day.

 

What about the examples of why he shouldn't be in there every day? Like everything being said in the thread prior to his nice catch. So quick to forget?

Thats not Swisher silly DJ

Konerko grounds to Scutaro but Konerko somehow beats the throw.

Based on his rookie year when he wasn't handled correctly? You can't just look at a guys rookie year, look what Alex Gordon is doing right now.

 

I just think based on how he looks now and last year, that it's a pretty big assumption that he'll hit 270. I could be wrong, but that's just what my eyes tell me.
