So Dye got hit by a pitch? How bad did it look?

It looked bad and sounded worse.

 

Dye was on the ground for quite some time holding his hand.

 

I love some Christopher Getz.

 

Kalapse, please suggest the Joshua Fields run into one here.

Perhaps Carlos could put us within a run.

How bad did it look?

 

Very bad/

Well he isn't so he shouldn't be. But on national sports shows? Pretty often when they talk about infielders.

ok, but when you talk about the average this guy hits for - and no it's not the park in his case, IMO. Power? Sure. But not so much average.

 

 

Well, that's just terrible news about Dye. I'd actually be interested in moving Quentin to RF, Fields to LF, and Betemit to 3B. We can't go with Pods in RF and Phillips or Kroeger in LF.

wow, carlos can't catch a break.

Why pitch to Thome whatsoever when his protection in the lineup with two outs is Brent Lillibridge?

LMAO. Josh can't run.

 

We need another one here.

 

I couldn't see where Fields was at but it seems Cox is way too f***ing conservative.

We're closing the gap down 9-6 in the top of the 7th.

s***, lillibridge might as well just go deep here. it'd make enough sense at this point.

He's a singles hitter with very little plate discipline, no real power and awful road splits. He's making at least twice as much as he should and has very low value at a power position like 3B (though the Rangers lineup more than makes up for it.) He's a very nice player to have in your lineup but he's no where near a top tier offensive talent.

 

I'd say that he has very poor range in the infield but I have a hunch you'd dispute that.

Deep where? Out of the infield?

 

Brent Lillibridge is just terrible.

He's only playing there because this team makes him. He's really a 2B. I would like to see his road splits... can you give me a URL?

 

Not quite sure why he's in the majors.

It's always sad when AA players are asked to produce at the major league level. Poor, poor Lilly Bridge.

Brent Lillibridge is just terrible.

Exactly. Yet another POS scrub on our roster. We have too damn many guys like this (thank God we have one less in Owens).

 

LMAO. Josh can't run.

Josh actually runs pretty well.

 

What I can't understand is Cox's decision making process.

 

He'll send a guy like AJ or Thome when it's obviously not a good idea...

 

And he holds up Getz and Fields when sending them seems like a no-brainer.

 

WTH?

 

Lillibridge, you f***ing suck!!! Please go to the Frontier League.

The Lillibridge experiment has to end.

He is not a big leaguer. Yet another guy who has to go. Just cut him loose. He can't hit a baseball.

Are we all unanimous on this???

GET RID OF HIM.

Exactly. Yet another POS scrub on our roster. We have too damn many guys like this (thank God we have one less in Owens).

 

It's going to get even worse if Dye goes to the DL. I bet KW is really, really regretting the Swisher trade now.

For his size, you're right. I didn't see if he could have made it or not.

Jeff Cox is a terrible 3rd base coach. He's worse than Joey Cora was. Also, our bunting and base running has gotten worse since Cox took over.

That was just sad
