Have you ever seen a fall of this magnitude by a proven player over the course of one offseason in history? I know Wite's faith has to be waning by now.

 

Hopefully the one week benching he'll face with games at NL parks will do him well.

Epic.

So Dunn gets paid about 1 million per homer.

If he keeps this up, Kenny will put him on the waiver wire, hoping that some in-the-running NL team that needs a LH bat for the stretch run and beyond will pick up his contract, just like Kenny did with Rios from Toronto. But 3+ years left makes it a long shot...

Everyone gets put on the waiver wire, not everyone gets claimed.

I'm confident I could sport those numbers. Just pay me in beer. Nothing to lose.

Aside from the 14 HR's...maybe.

Ozzie just needs to stop playing him against lefties. Hell, any confience he had after Friday night probably was negatively impacted after he struggled against the lefty yesterday.

 

Agree - except Dunn also needs to bat further down in the lineup against righties, until he gets his swing back.

 

AJ just keeps on rolling.

AJ's been really good lately.

Yes, I have to give him credit. His throwing still sucks. But he's swinging a hot stick.

Is anyone else tired of Hawk's constant "First Ballot HOFer Omar Vizquel" talk? It really annoys me when he talks about the guy like he's one of the all-time greats. You could compare him to Ozzie Smith, but Ozzie was a freaking wizard with the glove. He had two more GG's even while playing four less seasons. Either way, I've never seen Omar as a HOFer at all, much less a first ballot guy. Anyone agree?

Since May 9 he has put up an .884 OPS.

I've heard a lot of people say that Omar was better than Ozzie, just less flashy/showy about it.

I can hardly wait till we can say that about Rios, Dunn and Beckham.

Hopefully the one week benching he'll face with games at NL parks will do him well.

 

We've all been pining for Viciedo over Pierre. I think it's just about time to sit Adam for a week or 10 days and let Dayan DH. Because Juan ain't goin' nowhere. I think Ozzie MIGHT sit Dunn.

GB telephone booth HR tour continues.

Same bad swings by Beckham. Was late on an 80 mph fastball and then pulls off a slider to pop it up.

He's not a HOFer.

Once guys like Hawk start saying a guy is a first-ballot HOF-er, they're probably right...because the HOF voters are a lot of old baseball people, often like Hawk.

Beckham's swing is loooooonnnngggg

Not HOV to me at all.

lol this has some truth to it.

How come big leaguers can't hit this soft tosser?

If it's so "different" facing a 60 mph fastball, s***, why don't more scouts just draft guys who lob it up there?

 

Adam Dunn might consider changing his weird batting stance where the bat bends behind his neck. He needs to attack the ball against this soft tosser and he's taking pitches? Be aggressive, Adam.

Not HOV to me at all.

High Occupancy Vehicle?

I don't like Gordon Beckham anymore.

He's not a HOFer.

 

Thank God. He's like the Jesse Orosco of hitters. There's something in his game that's kept him employed for 23 years, but that doesn't make him a HOFer.

High Occupancy Vehicle?
