Texsox Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) Who on this board were the shamelessly pro-Pods supporters at that point? That was one brave stance to take. shamelessly pro-Pods? I was pro-Pods with reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I was pro-Pods the whole time!!! I don't care for us running our way out of the inning dudes, we're doing just fine hitting Greinke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 To be rabidly pro-Pods on here would be to take a 'non-internet-smarts' position, i'm sure 90% of the pro-Pods people out there were 05 sentimentalists or even people with a passing fancy of the team. so to be all for him at that point, in this setting at least, takes a lot of guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do this against someone who's cannonless Not to mention you take the bat out of the hands of Dye/Thome/Konerko. It's not like Wise isn't going to score on a single (usually), just a case of forcing something that wasn't there. Maybe Ozzie asked him to be more aggressive on the basepaths and try to make some things happen? Running on his own? Missed hit and run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a really good arm, playing 3b instead of SS makes your throw longer, wouldn't that make it much more likely that a throw is going to sail on you?

It's pretty close. The main thing at 3rd you have to learn is that you have a lot more time on a routine play than you do at SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I think we are seeing the book develop on Nix. Keep the ball away from him, as his power seems to be when he turns and burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Beckham really have such a strong arm? All the scouting reports said "average or slightly above average" for SS when he was drafted. I haven't seen him play at all since ST (here in Thailand now), so how could you compare his throwing ability to Valentin/Uribe/Crede/Ramirez? Maybe he's try to get a little extra on his throws from over there and he's changing his natural throwing motion a bit??? Danksie getting back below 4.00 ERA for first time in months...who'd a thought Jose, Gavin and Danks would be in the positions they're at statistically NOW after six weeks into the season?

Keep the ball away from him, as his power seems to be when he turns and burns. And that's why he's perfect as a platoon against LHP. The only pitch that can be effective against him from a LHP would be a low and away changeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have gotten a nice break. Seriously, if the rotation can stay in this groove, there's no reason to keep the extra LHP in the bullpen if Quentin comes back. Hold Wise and Anderson and send down Gobble; gives you an OF bat/PH/PR from both sides of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have needed an extra bat on the bench a lot longer than we've needed another arm in the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
