I wonder if any team in MLB history has started a hitter at #3 in July who had an average of .170 or below with over 200 previous at-bats that season?

 

I think Adam Dunn fits that criteria

Paul Konerko 2003.

I think he was wondering if any other team had

Don't stop now boys!

Pierre again

Pierre should be playing in the all star game the way he is playing!

For the love of God, don't suck here.

Why wouldn't Moustakas let it come to 3B and get the force out?

Paul Konerko 2003.

 

He wasn't hitting third.

Believe in Dunn!

hit it hard to left center big man

He wasn't hitting third.

 

I'm sure he did at some point.

Adam MUST do something here.

Swing.The.Bat.

I'm sure he did at some point.

 

With Frank, Maggs and Lee? I'd have to look it up. But Caulfield did say in July. I doubt PK ever hit third at that cutoff point.

Well at least he swung with authority.

man he sucks. HARD.

Awful, as he misses the hanging slider. When will our hitters learn they're going to throw 2-0 and 3-2 breaking pitches?

So much for the Dunn is making progress theory.

 

Frustrating.

man he sucks. HARD.

 

Dunn is fine...he's just working the kinks out.

And Dunn still sucks.

man he sucks. HARD.

 

Yet one fluke home run and he stays in the spot in front of our only real threat.

Especially when you get a 2-0 slider. You're not going to get a fastball at 3-2.

Wat more to expect, that was his one swing at the at bat, no surprise with that K

I'm just saying it's an odd time to start spouting off about how s***ty this team is when they put together a nice collection of 2-out hits/runs to tie the game up.

 

They are 12th in the AL with runs with 2 outs and RISP. I am glad they had the two hits and we scored the 2 runs. We however leave a s***load of runners stranded over the course of the year. Watching our hitters over the course of the year watch fastball after fastball over the heart of the plate while swinging at stuff in the dirt is a bit counter productive for a sustained attack.
