I can't think of 5 players with the same or similiar amount of at bats worse than Nick Swisher this year.

Home, away, neutral. Bad.

 

His home stats are good.

I think, when it's all said and done, we'll look back at Quentin's injury and realize that the real cost of it was having to play Swisher.

 

I mean, it's hard to say that because he's such a totally, super-duper hilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarious guy and everything . . .

 

Haha, oh man. Did you see when he danced in the dugout the other day?

Guys, guys -- you're missing the big picture. Swish is totally funny in the clubhouse. I mean it. The guy tells great jokes and dyes his hair. Super awesome.

Has anyone looked at Swisher's away stats this year? Holy cow, he f***ing sucks. .185 batting average and an OPS not close to .600.

 

His season has to rank as one of the worst in franchise history, right?

Seriously. I mean, talk about loose. Swish makes this team so loose. I mean, they're so loose, they look comatose. That's how good Swish is at this stuff. He's like the new Max Patkin, Clown Prince of Baseball. Thanks, Swish.

Doubtful

Anybody who tries to make the Duckworth performance into anything else but our offense sucking needs to get a clue. This is not just a pitcher having a great game, this is an offense trying to show how terrible it truly is.

Between Swisher and Ozzie, this is the loosest, most motivated team in history!

Besides his homers, it's been bad.

Right up there with Cory Snyder, except with about double the at-bats and triple the funny.

It's the kind of team that makes me want to run a marathon or something. Damn, I'm fired up just watching their joy and energy.

He's allowed 1 homer in about 30 innings now this season. I doubt things are going to improve for the offense today.

Honestly, I don't think anybody makes that argument anymore.

It's why I always laugh when people say Ozzie is a great motivator. This is a worse level of corpseball coming down the stretch than Manuel could have ever dreamed of.

Thome is brutal.

Brandon f***ing Duckworth, LOL

I said this in chat, and I'm sure it will annoy some people: after seeing their energy in a pennant race, it doesn't surprise me that Thome and Griffey Jr. don't have a World Series ring.

Maybe Danks can pitch a shutout and we can win 1-0.

Cmon Johnny! THrow that shutout!

How many times this year have we scored in the first inning, and then failed to score at all for the rest of the game, or didn't score again until the 8th-9th innings

 

It's gotta be quite a few

2 hits through 4, and he just Kd 2 of our power core. Someone needs to find another job after this season, because preparing, instructing and motivating hitters is not it.

Does anyone think opposing pitchers actually look forward to starts against this team? I honestly think they might.

To be fair, they are old now. But it's an interesting point. Even PK has turned it on in September after an awful season.

It's more obvious with Griffey, IMO. He just doesn't seem to give a rat's ass at all.
