Here's a chance to fix our horrific RISP/2 out numbers.

Anderson > Thome

OC's been hitting well, but he's been brutal in these situations.

Ramirez and BA doing a good job today...

Really? I am saying 3 or more guys on another that make as much money. I guess you can probably find someone on the Yankees but I don't even know for sure.

oh a trio im not entirely sure, but there probably is......yankees...pavano giambi and almost anyone (maybe damon)

 

mariners have beltre silva and sexson which has to be maybe the worst

 

dodgers have pierre loaiza and andruw

 

just about all those trios make more than our trio and are equally as bad or worse

Anderson > Thome

 

DH Dye everyday, outfield of Quentin, BA, Swisher.

Funny thing is he hit over .300 in these situations last year.

OC trying to do his Manny impersonation.

2 for f***ing 29 with RISP and 2 outs.

Mark better not be trotting out there now.

 

 

 

When's the last time the Sox got a hit with 2 outs and RISP?

3 runs on 10 hits failure to get a hit with RISP is killing the Sox on the rare days they do get hits.

He did not have to around Walker last year just ask Swisher!

Minnesota is the best in the AL with a .284 BA with 2 outs and RISP.

 

We are the worst in the AL with a .182 BA in the same situation.

Giambi is like top 5 AL in OPS. Damon has an .838 OPS. These guys are freaking Hall of Famers compared to what we've got going on.

 

Beltre has been pretty good, too. Certainly more productive than our guys. Silva and Sexson have been bad, but it's still just those two guys vs. our pathetic 3.

 

Jones has been bad. Pierre is OK for what they want out of him. Loaiza has been about as good as Buehrle. Those guys make about $10-12 M less than our three.

Pierre's actually having a solid year so far.

Our team has given up less than 3 runs a game this month and we are only 3 games over 500 for the month. Our offense better get its head out of its ass soon.

Well said

I agree with this but I'm doubting anything is actually going to be done about it. We've been awful for 2 years now. I bet they'll just stick with same old s***.

Let's get one and give it to the pen.

seems like crap OF's always make plays against us for some reason.

Our 3-4-5 is up, isnt that the part of the order that hits and scores runs.

 

 

 

We are making the Rays pen look like all-stars!

It's like our hitters act surprised when they see an offspeed pitch after seeing only fastballs to get to two strikes.

Conventional wisdom tells you it's a coaching problem, but these guys are veteran players too for the most part and should know how to hit in clutch situations. Maybe they just don't have it anymore? One baseball reporter said Thome can't catch up with the fastball anymore. I just don't know what to think anymore.
