April 29, 201016 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) Ummm.....seriously, we have the lowest BA with RISP in the major leagues (.199)...and you're crowing about 3 games that we beat the M's, who perhaps are the only team who might end up having a worse offense than the White Sox??? Brilliant...the games are at home, we're not facing Cliff Lee or King Felix, but now we're clutch??? Seriously? At least the M's, though, have a philosophy, unlike the White Sox. Defense first, pitching, speed and fundamentals, just like the Twins, Angels and Rays. So KC attempts a comeback at home, they don't face Lee or Felix but they're clutch? Ah, I see how that works. *rolls eyes*
April 29, 201016 yr Royals, down 5-1, actually had a comeback to tie game at 5-5 against the M's with two clutch, two out hits against R-R-S. Would be nice to see the White Sox do that more often. Rolls eyes right back. Last time I checked, those homers against SEA/Aardsma/Lowe were solo homers, not "clutch two out (base) hits (with RISP)"...(since the Royals aren't a home run hitting team, either, with the exception of Guillen/Ankiel). How many times recently has someone other than Rios done that....getting a "clutch" single with a runner on 2nd base with 2 outs in the 7th/8th/9th innings? Edited April 29, 201016 yr by caulfield12
April 29, 201016 yr Ordonez with his 2,000th hit. Congrats, Magglio. Wonder if 2,500 would get him close to the HOF? Would he dare go in as a Tiger instead of White Sox? Edited April 29, 201016 yr by caulfield12

Rios and Andruw both were last out of the inning IIRC, I know Rios was for sure. And Rios hit his when the Sox were down. Its fine though, your definitions of bad and great can vary as much as you would like them to

April 30, 201016 yr Luke Hochevar absolutely torched by the Rays, clearly the best team in baseball right now 9 runs, 11 hits, almost all of them line drives...

Its fine though, your definitions of bad and great can vary as much as you would like them to Not about bad and great. I think a clutch hit is a single that scores runners and moves the line along when there's two outs. Like if Juan Pierre would have done this say 5-6 times so far (base knock) rather than just once in 20 opportunities. You think it's a game winning or game-tying homer, in this case. Arguments can be made either way. Certainly some would say Teahen's game in TOR was the most clutch of the entire season. Edited April 30, 201016 yr by caulfield12
April 30, 201016 yr Author Uh, no, I'd say Alex Rios' walkoff was by far the most clutch. The team was down by 1 run with 2 outs, and Alex Rios ended the game with one swing. I don't think there is any arguing that. Teahen had the most clutch game of the season, but not the most clutch hit.

May 2, 201016 yr Wilson Ramos is catching today. He is one of the better hitting prospect in the minors for the Twins. He is 2-2 so far today

May 3, 201015 yr Zack Greinke is keeping up his game from last year with a 2.27 ERA & 0.98 WHIP. Of course his team & bullpen suck, so he's 0-3 in 6 starts. Lost 1-0 to Tampa & Wade Davis today.

Of course his team & bullpen suck, so he's 0-3 in 6 starts. Lost 1-0 to Tampa & Wade Davis today. I heard his ERA for his last 47 starts is something like 2.20 and the Royals record in those games is 22-25.
May 3, 201015 yr Mauer's replacement today Wilson Ramos had 4 hits, the fist time a catcher making his debut had 4 hits since like 1900
