The thing that pisses me off is we're benching a red hot Konerko to play this overrated player. well, he went 0-3 yesterday.... it's not like 6 other players did that as well.

Sure it was my fault for bringing that up, but I didn't appreciate the "Duh" comment you gave me. I was being sarcastic, like he wouldn't pop-out because he doesn't suck like Thome does.

southsideirish71 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) Will we ever hit a changeup? 90% of our hitters are power guys, who cheat on the fastball trying to pull it for a homer. We are built to be destroyed by a changeup. This is the reason Johan, Radke, and other changeup pitchers have dominated us. If you can spot the ball low and away,and throw a change or curveball you can shut our team down. Low and away for a pull team is hard to homer. And that is how we score runs. Hopefully this offseason we pick up more line drive types to sprinkle around the team. Also moving Ramirez up in the order would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a case of misinterpretation due to being on an internet message board and not being able to detect the tone in which posters are speaking.

No one is 100% right now, and this had to be expected with Carlos(wearing down at the end of the season), but Q isn't 100% right now. I don't think he's injured though...just pressing.

BearSox Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I remember when a lot of people here, including myself, wanted Bowden via a trade... I'm glad that didn't happen, as we are the only team in the MLB that would have not been able to rough him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Too many players trying to hit it over the Monster. Honestly, Bowden's the worst starting pitcher (besides Gio) we've seen all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:32 AM) The Sox are not a good situational hitting team. They haven't bee all season. It's just the HR's aren't there right now. Would you agree that's been a common theme over the last 5 years, and the main reason that the team seems to hit the wall and fade while the Twins stay strong?
