Well, it sucks, but there were no better options than Pierre out there for leadoff men

 

Did we really sign him for 2 years? My god.

Did we really sign him for 2 years? My god.

Actually, no, we didn't.

Acta's got a great head for the game. Ozzie... has a head.

 

He has better hair, so... yeah...

Did we really sign him for 2 years? My god.

 

We traded for him...with Ozzie at the helm, it was just a matter of time before we brought in Pierre.

What about when your starting lead off hitter is Juan Pierre?

 

You mean the career .300 hitter?

Did we really sign him for 2 years? My god.

 

Worse, we made a trade for him.

You mean the career .300 hitter?

Yeah, that's awful.

Yes, but you had the chance to get into a spot where Jones or Quentin could do damage in one AB. Pierre's version of damage is an infield single.

 

That's if he could actually keep the ball on the ground. When Pierre is hitting looping line drives and fly balls to the outfield, he is absolutely useless.

Pods is 2-3 with another RBI and SB

Worse, we made a trade for him.

Yeah, because the trade of a couple AA ball guys for him and a ton of money was a lot worse than the contract the Dodgers originally signed him for.

It's amazing how rapidly you became a fan of his when he left this team.

You're right. That one totally unflawed, non-antiquated statistic sums up the unseen greatness of Juan Pierre. He'll probably be an MVP candidate this year.

Why is the Sox defense force out in full force today? Probably picked the wrong game for that, but I hope we can somehow turn it around.

Yeah, because the trade of a couple AA ball guys for him and a ton of money was a lot worse than the contract the Dodgers originally signed him for.

 

Either way we have him now and he sucks. Doesn't matter how we got him. Just matters that he is a terrible hitter for the White Sox.

You're right. That one totally unflawed, non-antiquated statistic sums up the unseen greatness of Juan Pierre. He'll probably be an MVP candidate this year.

Either that...or it argues that he's not likely to be a .200 hitter the full season. Clearly, there's no middle ground right?

Actually, no, we didn't.

 

But he has another year on his deal? Great.

 

On a positive note, I see Teahen, Omar and Lexi are 5 for 8 today. Not bad 7-9.

Whole organization should be ashamed of losing all these games to Cleveland.

Yeah, because the trade of a couple AA ball guys for him and a ton of money was a lot worse than the contract the Dodgers originally signed him for.

 

Just because it could be worse doesn't mean it was good.

Either way we have him now and he sucks. Doesn't matter how we got him. Just matters that he is a terrible hitter for the White Sox.

And he's highly unlikely to stay that way.

I was shocked that Carlos Quentin: (a) swung at the first pitch with runners on base; (B) hit it weakly; and © flipped his bat angrily after he did it.

It's amazing how rapidly you became a fan of his when he left this team.

 

I liked him all last year, minus the base base running. I told anyone and everyone he was our MVP. It's more just symbolic how everything that could go wrong so far is.

Just because it could be worse doesn't mean it was good.

But you said it was worse! Not that it wasn't good! you said it was "worse"

Either that...or it argues that he's not likely to be a .200 hitter the full season. Clearly, there's no middle ground right?

 

We don't need him to hit when we're 10 games out of first. We needed him to hit the first two weeks.

You mean the career .300 hitter?

 

Yup, that's the guy. The same .300 hitter that couldn't get off the bench for the LA Dodgers. The current Juan Pierre is a far cry from what he was for the Marlins 5 years ago.

Haeger's on the Dodgers now, as well....

 

Choo had reached base in 17/24 PA before that "hard" out on a nice play by Becks. 10 hits and 7 walks. Wow.

 

 

Either that...or it argues that he's not likely to be a .200 hitter the full season. Clearly, there's no middle ground right?

 

The middle ground is that Pierre hits .275-.310 with no power or walks, and continues to be bad. This is what I believe in.
