Yeah, that pisses me off too.

 

What would Danks' record be if he had half the run support Gavin has received since 2008?

 

Why in the world is JO(ke) playing in CF with BA going to right?

Because the score is 12-2

Because Owens has no experience playing RF and Brian has a much better arm...it's logic.

 

Looks like the Indians are finally going to lose to the Yankees and the Twins will sweep the Angels.

He had something like 20% of his fly balls last year hit for home runs, which was good for about 7th in baseball. He doesn't have the track record in the majors where you would project that to happen again this year. He also hit 5 "lucky" home runs last year. Those two things along with him coming off a wrist injury and it seems pretty reasonable to think that he wasn't going to hit 40 home runs if he stayed healthy all year.

ahh, the lucky homerun stat. that was a cute thread on NSBB

What is the crowd booing about?

Nice piece of hitting by BA.

 

The Sox have hit Shields, Kazmir and Garza pretty well.

 

They need more cow bell.

I hope this means BA is coming around. He's a great asset to this team.

The thing about all those quentin metrics is he just tries to hit the ball hard and a lot of them go out, hes a line drive hitter first but his power leads to lots of drives being home runs. Hes just a great hitter.

My guess the wave isn't taking affect.

lol I start booing when people try the wave too.

And he was that when he was tearing up the minors too. Him doing this in the majors when healthy shouldn't be much of a surprise.

thats the thing that drove me nuts about the Bernstein comment. There is no track record in the majors that can be counted on with any sort of certainty, but if you look at his minor league numbers you would think that Quentin is just doing his thing. Which he is.

Brent Lillibridge=Jason Tyner

 

 

Speaking of Tyner, Abreu has seven stolen bases already.

Ya but when he is 40, they will not be homers!!!!!!!

 

Stoney says the fans are booing the balls & strikes.

 

Someone is going to hurt themself swinging so hard.

 

bartolo never seems to be talking to teammates

Hamilton is a fantastic talent. That being said, he wouldn't reach what he did last year playing anywhere else except maybe Colorado, either Chicago team, or Cincinnati.

 

Last year, Hamilton had tons of talent around him to get on base. If Quentin had Kinsler, Davis, Murphy, and Young around him, he would have driven in 150 runs had he played the last month.

I think the Rays won't even finish over .500,all the little breaks they were getting last year hasn't happened for them this year,it's early I know but that's what I think.

you arent supposed to talk with food in your mouth

Off topic but a marketing hint

 

Wrigleyville Sports want to cater to all Chicago fans and has many different commercials......they need to tailor the commercial to the team that is palying (i.e. when you show the store, show other swag other than cub crap).

 

Carry on.
