April 24, 201115 yr Does his batting average go to .100 or .200? If he goes 0 for 25, it's .100. If he goes 8 for 25, it's .200.

April 24, 201115 yr I think he's likely to go to Arby's. In fact, the entire team should go to Arby's. Because they have good mood food.
April 24, 201115 yr The only thing I've seen Dunn do effectively this year is blow bubbles with his gum...every f***ing popout he trots to first, veers off after the catch, and blows a bubble.

April 25, 201115 yr QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 05:53 AM) What's most likely? He hits about 40 home runs with an OPS around 900. Man if he pulls that off after this start ...
April 25, 201115 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) Man if he pulls that off after this start ... Man really? he has a whole 55 ABs in 15 games.. come on people.. hes gonna get like 500 more ABs this season The guy hits .240-.250 you're gonna have to accept that, the avg is going to be low.. but he hasn't hit less than 38 HR's since 2003 so statistically the odds are he is going to hit anywhere between 35-40 HRs by the time this season is over..

Stats are so overrated.
April 25, 201115 yr I don't understand why we got rid of Thome only to replace him with a much higher-priced version of him. Although Thome didn't seem to strike out this much.

Barring injury, this is one of the biggest certainties in baseball.

April 25, 201115 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 10:14 AM) Dunn will get it done! Book it now. and so will the sox......
April 26, 201115 yr he looked a hell of a lot better tonight, and actually 5-6 games ago D Jackson on the radio said he was about 5-6 games away from getting it back
April 26, 201115 yr Something else that is worth mentioning with Dunn, this is his first time as a DH in his career. There is probably some mental adjustments going on, and then you throw in a surgery. That's tough.
April 26, 201115 yr It was great to see him line a hit to go with two walks. Sox hitting sucked again tonight, though.
April 26, 201115 yr I have no problem saying that Dunn looked great at the plate today. His bat was just a little off, but you can tell that he is seeing the ball really well.

April 26, 201115 yr Regardless of results, I always loved watching Frank Thomas at the plate. Dunn drives me nuts with his movements. The bat here, then there, then this and then that. /back to something worthwhile

Dunn is just doing his thing which gets him loose at the plate and maybe helps his timing. He is a bit off right now but coming around. Edited April 26, 201115 yr by elrockinMT
April 26, 201115 yr I know, it's his ritual, iconic actually at this point, and it drives me nuts. Like I said, no matter the results. Joe Morgan was the same way. I just want to run out and hold the damn bat still. lol
