July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:37 AM) I was surprised to find out that Kotsay's only DH'd 37 games. His degree of suck has made me think he's been there 97 games. But just like Randy Williams he continues to get trotted out there way more than he should.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) You'd think 4 straight months of being atrocious at the plate is a good enough sample size for Ozzie to seriously diminish his workload...but I guess not. Of the 220 players with at least 250 PA this season our DH ranks 202nd in OPS. Oh and he's 273rd in AVG with RISP (min 50 PA), yes that's the worst in baseball. Kotsay is reaching epic levels of bad.

To me, Kotsays' only redeeming quality is that he stands on the left side of the plate. I would much rather see Jones in the lineup over Kotsay. The average may not improve that much, but at least you would have better power numbers and Jones can run a little better.

Babe Ruth didn't watch a computer, Pete Rose didn't watch a computer.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) I liked how with both homers Castro paused to admire the towering power blasts they were. Even if you had the sound turned down (because you knew from the sound they were long gone), you could watch his body language and know he cranked them. I want to see the pitcher who has the balls to throw at Ramon Castro if they think he's showboating.

In no way can it seem like AJP is being demoted or you can say goodbye to team chemistry. i'm also for getting castro more ABs without "demoting" AJ, but winning baseball games IS chemistry. even if castro replaced aj everyday, if the sox kept winning the magic chemistry would still be there.

I also gotta say Eric Threets is looking pretty impressive. Has anyone ever hit agaisnt a pitcher with all of those tatoos on their arms? If so, are they a distracting?

July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) What a great performance by the offense last night, really took advantage of some crap pitchers. Kotsay is the biggest rally killer ever. No, Hawk's "Don't stop now, boys" is the biggest rally killer ever.
