This team does not want to win.

true, they are probably all in the dugout talking to each other about how they can lose

 

 

 

I was eating lunch but I got back into the thread just to see the reactions to AJ's bunt . Priceless. Crap I can't beleive they turned that DP on a slow roller. Did Thome walk to 1st ?

We could really use Carlos Quentin today. It's really fitting that our best player was knocked out for the year on something dumb and self-induced. If we miss the playoffs, things that are dumb and self-induced will be why.

s***,we can get swept in this series,we got Richard pitching the night cap and then we go up against Halladay and Marcum,f***

What happened on the Thome double play? It should be fun watching Griffey flail away against Ryan.

Downs threw 5 strikes and 7 balls including a 5 pitch walk to OC to lead it off, and Ozzie has AJ bunting right away

AJ is f***ing terrible #2 hitter. Why the f*** does ozzie still have him in that spot?

 

 

At least we have Richard going tonight. Should be a quick and painless death.

I am just fuming right now. This is unbelievable.

And Swisher has a track record of being a good MLB hitter over the last 2 years which Fukudome does not

 

He's a career .246 hitter. He has a track record of drawing walks and hitting for power, but he has no such record of being a good "hitter".

Pretty much, there is NO way they should have been able to turn that.

Low OBP, can't bunt, can't walk, no speed. I have no idea.

Isnt have a .800+ OPS over your career clasify you as being a good hitter. Walking is just as much of a skill as flaring a broken bat single.

Beat me to it.

Magic 8 ball.

Remember in 05 he had Everett just doing nothing in the 3 hole up until a few weeks before the playoffs, then he made the change. I dont think he will make the change right now. Ramirez up top would be nice right now.

 

 

 

some of the players on this team are f***ing dumb

There can only be like 5 guys in the league that get doubled up on that type of play...........we have 2 of them.

Toby Hall is as slow as PK and Thome,we got 3 of the 5...

huh? Hitting isn't all about your batting average, it's about how many times you do not make outs and then when you don't make outs what you do with those hits. It's why OBP and SLG are more important to me than avg.

This is correct.

macdougal looks like he did at the start of the year, i.e. not good

 

i havent seen anything good about todays game, at all to be honest

 

at least he got the out

An .814 career OPS makes you a productive offensive player. But there is a big difference between a good hitter and a productive offensive player. Adam Dunn is a very productive offensive player, but he's a mediocre hitter, and on the other side, Juan Pierre is a very good hitter, but not a productive offense player between the lack of power and all the caught stealings.

That team didnt have a ton of options in that spot, but that does seem to be on the same plane. I mean, AJ completely sucks in the 2-hole, he is a much better hitter down the order for this team.

about to be 2-2 in the PQE, could very easily be 2-4 with clayton on the mound tonight, and then halladay tomorrow

LoL @ Hawk.

 

"Barajas will hit for Zaun."

 

Barajas replaced Zaun defensively last inning. Pay attention.

OK, with those definitions I will agree with you, but I would take Adam Dunn over Juan Pierre everyday of the week and twice on Sunday
