Who knows how many of those walks and hits could have been avoided had Pierre played at least average defense in those games. Maybe Sqwert, Thornton not getting anyone out in April was cause for Pierre's bad defense. Can't have your fielders standing around in the cold. Pierre's .342 with runners in scoring position cannot be denied.

And how did he do in that category in the crucial first 6 weeks? EDIT: 7 RBIs in April, 6 in May. What an impact! Edited September 12, 201114 yr by BigSqwert

Ah I love life when I have somebody on my side.

Pierre directly affected Thorton's April by dropping several easy catches that wound up being blown saves. And why does it even matter? They both contributed heavily to the terrible start. Why is it always one guy or another on this site? It's Ozzie's fault, no it's KW's fault. They are both at fault. Same thing here.
September 12, 201114 yr Let's say I just patently accept that Juan Pierre is 100% to blame for the three games this season in which he dropped a routine fly ball. Now, let's go ahead and ridiculously assign another 2 whole losses to him for his April offense. There, that's 5 of the 22 losses. Who are the other 17 on?

How many routine fly balls have flicked off the glove of Mr. Cool, Rios, as well? Great post Hibb.
