May 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (knightni @ May 27, 2012 -> 04:22 PM) Hey look... .399 Someone needs to let p. rogers of the cubune know this. In his Sunday column he is touting the fact that David Wright of the NY Mets has a chance to be hitting .400 entering June this year. Guess phil isn't getting to the southside much! GO GO WHITE SOX
May 27, 201213 yr that fat ass in detroit will get it. hope paul gets to go rest in that house in scottsdale...can't remember how big it is.

Granted, season is still young, but c'mon...we're talking PROgression in the way PK is absolutely working the ball to all fields in all counts. Like Peavy said, if it were him, he'd throw Paul 4 balls and give him 1st base.

May 28, 201213 yr I'm totally going to vote, but he has a 0% chance of being the starter. It's like voting for Romney in California. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.
May 28, 201213 yr I put in a vote for him, but I don't expect it to help much. If he doesn't start, oh well. He'll be there, and probably get 2 ABs.
May 28, 201213 yr Just a reminder...Asdrubal Cabrera won the Shortstop vote last year. He got it over Derek Jeter. Anything is possible!
May 28, 201213 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Here's the dominance that is Paul Konerko: If he somehow went hitless in his next 54 at-bats, his average slips percentage pts. below .300 If Konerko were to go 0-for-30, he would still be hitting .337. If Konerko were to go 15-for-30, he would be hitting .415
May 28, 201213 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 28, 2012 -> 01:50 AM) I just saw ESPN do a thing about Paulie and his BA. Oh s***. They must have been mistaken and thought he was on the Red Sox, not the White Sox.
May 28, 201213 yr Ok, so Paul Konerko is now #1 in all of baseball in wOBA and wRC+. That's right, he's better than Hamilton. Edited May 28, 201213 yr by chw42

May 28, 201213 yr Too lazy to look this up, but anybody know the last time a player finished May batting over .400?

May 28, 201213 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 28, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) Most guys suck with an 0-2 count. Paulie's numbers at 0-2 are incredible. What are these said numbers? I'm curious.
May 28, 201213 yr I would love to see this thread pinned. I might even send a note to Brooks Boyer asking that the Sox to really pump up the ASG marketing campaign for PK along with Dunn and AJ. All three clearly deserve the local vote at a very minimum. Maybe some goofy gimmick again with t-shirts and really get the broadcast booths talking about it. Would be a lot better than listening to golf and Yaz stories.
May 28, 201213 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 28, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) What are these said numbers? I'm curious. After 0-2 Konerko is hitting .355/.429/.903. Yes, a .903 SLG. That's a 1.331 OPS. He's got 5 HR in these situations to go along with a .286 BABIP. In other words, it's not exactly luck, Konerko's just that good.
May 28, 201213 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 28, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) What are these said numbers? I'm curious. >.300 batting average
May 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 28, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) What are these said numbers? I'm curious. Coutesy of Southside Sox on May24th Here's the best way to put it: Counting Wednesday's stats, Konerko is batting .321 after falling behind 0-2. That is nuts. If you want some context, the AL is hitting .164 in such situations. Hell, the league is slugging .251 after an 0-2 count. Or, we can look at Josh Hamilton, who has Konerko beat in slugging and OPS, and is two points behind in batting average. When Hamilton falls behind 0-2, he's hitting .171 -- although his power is still well ahead of the curve with a .371 slugging percentage. But what is Konerko slugging after he falls behind 0-2? .714!
May 29, 201213 yr I'm not surprised by the batting average, but the slugging percentage is nuts...it's like PK is inventing hitting all over again...unbelievable.
May 29, 201213 yr I still want to know why this thread has not been pinned. We should be reminded daily to vote for Konerko until maxed out.
