Dunn on Bench: 3 Hits, 1 Run

Featured Replies

I thought the problem was Dunn, Guillen's lineup? Looks like things go a bit deeper than that. You lineup gurus ought to look at our 2B and particularly, the sacred cows of this board, the SS, RF'er and of course Hollywood.

 

Bruce Chen is terrible.

Were we just referred to as scared cows? :P

 

But seriously, there will be some major changes in the offseason in the front office and management. And that makes me very happy.

"Should" be made. Not convinced about "will".

Ok Joe.

 

I want 9 OG type players in the lineup. They'd score 7 runs on 10 hits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All year.

The problem runs deeper than Dunn. Dunn is a symptom. The problem is Walker and Ozzie.

Despite what many on Soxtalk believe, there is no lineup combination on this roster that would average 6 runs a game.

More than 2 would be nice.

Give it up Cowardly. No one cares about your Guillen ass-kissing anymore.

You're confusing blaming Hollywood with kissing Guillen's ass.

The inability for everyone on the roster to not be able to hit soft tossing lefties is a direct reflection on Greg Walker and his strategy for hitting that type of pitcher.

I wish it were that simple. I do think though that they could benefit some from a different approach, but again that's Hollywood's call.

 

Please god stop saying Hollywood.

The best offense in baseball doesn't even score 6 runs a game.

I think it's an apt description of our tough-talking GM.

I would say both our manager and GM are tough-talkers who don't back it up.

"Hollywood doesn't know what he's doing" - Marty34 when referring to White Sox GM Kenny Williams

 

Doesn't have the same flare...

Cowley got in Soxtalk's grill a little bit and since then no one likes him. Weird stuff.

NOBODY likes Cowley. The guy's a douche. It's not just Soxtalk.

 

Your posting style as of late (especially the Hollywood crap) is basically what Cowley does.

I don't disagree. Guillen takes an inordinate amount of the heat (even for a manager) though.

I think it is mostly Soxtalk that doesn't like him.

I didn't even post on this site much when the A-Gon stuff came up. I honestly don't care about that. I don't dislike Cowley because of that. I dislike him for some of the other stuff he's said or done (like basically calling Gavin Floyd brain-dead) and just being an ass in general.
