It's like TCQ is moving in slow motion in the OF.

Putz's fastball is meat right now. He's nowhere near where he was at a few years ago.

Pierre, Beckham, Jones/Kotsay, Rios, Ramirez? That's 5 spots that can genuinely run. Quentin can score from 1st on a double while healthy. I have no clue on Teahen. Konerko and Pierzynski are slow, but come on, Hafner? Redmond/The other guy?

Pierre is visibly slower than he used to be. Beckham only has decent speed. Jones/Kostay? You serious? Rios and Ramirez I'll give you. But at the same time, you have to get on base.

 

And really? You counter with Hafner and Redmond?

Jones steals bases and goes 1st to 3rd on singles.

 

he's fast enough.

 

But he's not Choo, Valbeuna, or Sizemore fast.

How did that one not get out of here?

IT's 35 degrees.

And that's why they wouldn't have bunted with their #2 hitter.

I figured they didn't bunt with him because there were 2 out.

I think this team just might perform better with a different manager at the helm.

 

Call me nuts. Gordon Beckham should not be bunting twice in a ballgame.

 

Call you nuts? I bet 90 pct of the people on here agree with you.

What a bunch of douche bags.

Quentin does not look to be anything all that much better than Dye in right

Must be nice to have players that can drive in runs with base hits. we have ZERO on the year. Only runs on HR, sacflies and groundouts

My eyes say you tell lies.

I'm on record before the Indians hired him as saying i wouldn't mind inf Manny Acta was our manager. Now.... i wouldn't mind if Manny Acta was our manager.

His managing sure is doing a great job at causing bloop singles.

Yeah, Hafner and the C spot and LaPorta sort of balance out the slow guys in our lineup, woudln't you say? Is Hafter really faster than Konerko?

My eyes say you tell lies.

 

Every scout this spring said the same as soxfan1

That's because he's not much better. He was average to below in LF. He'll be worse in RF.

I like how the main excuse is Beckham bunting twice. We've scored 3 runs in back to back games against the f***ing Indians.

I've never seen Konerko score from 1st on a double.

If Pierre was as fast as he used to be, you wouldn't worry about bunting him to 2b.

You kidding me?

And bunting isn't going to help your offense. That's two outs we shouldn't have given up.

I think he’s a great tactician. He’s the most sabermetrically inclined manager in the game today. He got some great offense performances out of some terrible Nationals clubs too.

I've never seen Konerko score from 1st on a double.

To be fair, Quentin bobbled it against the wall.

And bunting isn't going to help your offense. That's two outs we shouldn't have given up.

 

I'm sure he agrees with you
