GoSox05 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Could be a good night for Sale. Seattle is only hitting .191 against left handed pitching this year. That's worse than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Morel is batting 2nd. You gotta be f***ing kidding me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3233619.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Can we all agree that if Morel goes 2-20 with 10 K's on this roadtrip, he's got to go down? Edited April 20, 2012 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Doesn't sound like Manto is going to be concerned about averages until they've had 250-300 at-bats this year, lol. It's going to be a long season if they stick with Morel that long hitting 2nd and striking out about half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance we will all agree on anything. And I don't agree with what you said. Id give him much more of a chance than that. Probably at least another 100 ab.

What was Robin's infamous career starting streak - something like 0 for 41? I know this isn't Morel's MLB debut, but perhaps personal experience will make Robin more patient than most folks around here will be able to stand.

Actually it wasn't robins debut and also it wasn't as bad as people have been lead to believe. Its a myth. I think people attribute the myth to hawk.

Sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40 ab you proposed is not enough of a chance. The first step would be dropping to 8. If they really want him to start 6-60, then what choice do they have? Just lose with him? At that point, let him go down and figure it out. Now that I've jinxed this sufficiently, he'll go 3-4 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His AB before the 0-41 started was a HR off Clemens. So there was a 41 ab hitless streak in his first full season. I thought even that part was bull. How many games was it?
