Josh Fields leaves me too nervous over there at 3rd.

 

He's absolutely a candidate for trade if he has another year of good power, mediocre avg, mediocre D.

All i see on gameday is that the guy grounded out to third. Sounds like Fields made the play, what happened?

alright walk here and here comes fields

Good to see Josh! When going over any potential 3 year plan for the White Sox, our organization would be in such a better position if Fields can be a suitable starting 3rd baseman. Then, you don't even have to consider moving Beckham to a position where his power is negated.

The Cuban tank?

Normally HBP are basically looked off in regards to OBP. For Quentin, they are probably the most important aspect. Taking out his HBPs last year, his OBP drops 22 points (from .394 to .372). Without them this year, going into the game, his OBP drops over 40 points (.346 down to .304).

 

Assuming Quentin stays healthy, 30 or more isn't out of the realm of possibility.

 

 

Carlos Quentin stole a base.

Chris Getz is a smart baseball player. Not a grinder, not run by intangibles, he just has a great mind for the game.

How does one end up with a lower OBP than AVG? Nix had that going last night.

 

Canucks just scored again.

Come on Gavin.

A sacrifice will count as a plate appearance but not an at bat. If you have few walks but a sacrifice or two it can happen.

God damnit Gavin

Poor Floyd.

AVG = H/AB

OBP = (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF)

 

if you have no walks or HBP, but do have a sacrifice fly, your OBP is going to be less than your average. That's a very simple explanation, but that's how it works.

 

3 hits, 0 BB, 0 HBP, 10 ABs, 1 SF

 

AVG = .300

OBP = .273

oh, and f***

 

I won't make excuses after this one

Thought we got rid of Vazquez?

Poor Floyd.

 

WELCOME BACK!!!

Would have been nice to get an "easy" win for once, but so much for that.

 

At least the offense finally showed up, although Dye coming back has a lot to do with it. Not having to play Lillibridge really improves the line-up, although Alexei is still really in a funk.

question guys, would you trade CC and Halladay for Fielder and Kazmir?

So what happened with Gavin? Were they hitting him hard?

Of course!

Well Davies is done and the relievers for the Royals will now take over and shut the Sox down.

 

Especially Tejada whom I assume they have not seen and therefore are unable to touch.

 

 

Floy'd ERA is about 6 by the way. He has made Contreras looked good.

So what happened with Gavin? Were they hitting him hard?

Mike Jacobs...yes, 450 feet or so.

 

The other 2 hits, off the end of the bat up the middle by Teahen, and a broken bat by Guillen.

Alexei giving me some hope here, ok!

Opposite field hit for Alexei scores a run, and I like the base running. Here comes the squeeze.
