Sox have to lead all of MLB in wasted quality starts resulting in losses.

I think Swisher is movable. Thome and Konerko not so much. But it doesn't mean we have to keep running them out there if they're hitting .200. There will be some bats available.

 

I don't think you can let this type of pitching go to waste.

There may be bats available, but the only things we have that would really draw any interest from other teams would be Fields and probably Poreda, and that's not going to cut it.

Love seeing BA getting some more ABs.

I'll bet his numbers would look significantly better than Swisher's if he was playing every day.

Next person to suggest Swisher should be benched in favor of Anderson should just..............

 

At least Swisher has an upside.

I love our pitching, I loathe our offense outside of Quentin and watching a young guy like Alexei.

 

 

 

 

 

Well right now the Rays have the same amount of runs as we have hits.

 

I guess I find it hard to express just how damn irritated and frustrated I am with this team right now. As good as our pitching is, and that was supposed to be the question mark of this team, we've got to settle for a bunch of overpaid, aging stiffs that all look the same up at the plate, and seem to have no idea of strategy or hitting plan at all.

I'll bet his numbers would look significantly better than Swisher's if he was playing every day.

oh i bet they would look a lot like his career avg., .219, just a wee bit higher than when he did play every day.

Really? Let me know what that is...because I'll take Andersons upside (the top notch defense in CF) anyday over Nick Swisher right now.

Ditto

I hope our pitchers never have to buy their own meals.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Can you tell me what Quentin's career MLB average was before this year. I am curious.

how you can compare those two is beyond me.

7 innings, 5 hits, 10ks and 2 runs. And he is looking at a loss. Our pitchers could win 15 to 18 games with a team with a middle of the road offense.

 

 

 

Hey Javy, thanks again for yet another damn fine outing.....sorry we hit like a teamful of Rafael Belliards.

how you can compare those two is beyond me.

He wasn't comparing the two, he made a point that you can't/won't respond to and you got owned.

Doesn't matter. Whatever someone's career AVG is after ~400 AB's is what they hit for their career. Proven again and again.

God damn Vaz is so f***in good. Cmon O, get him some runs.

The only reason I say that is that when BA got some consistent at bats, back when he got in the lineup a few times against Seattle, Baltimore, and Minnesota, and the week or two beforehand, he didn't look that bad. He actually had his average up near .300 for a while.

Really? Let me know what that is...because I'll take Andersons upside (the top notch defense in CF) anyday over Nick Swisher right now.

 

Swisher's upside is he can play like a high level baseball player again, (sor of like he's done the last 2 season).

 

Anderson's upside is that he might stick as a backup outfielder.

He wasn't comparing the two, he made a point that you can't/won't respond to and you got owned.

if you say so. can I borrow your Tiger Beat with Brian on the cover? I need something to cry into.

how you can compare those two is beyond me.

 

People are making a comment that Anderson would look better with some ABs, and you are throwing out his major league average on a kid with a small sample size. You know some guys look better after a second start. Anderson doesnt have the talent level that Q has, but to crap on a kid for a small sample size is a bit bad.

 

 

 

Swisher is a big bag o' suck right now. Glad we traded for him.
