I was curious and wanted to find out how our players were doing in this situation because I feel like we have been consistently getting the job done in this situation. The stats back it up. Here are the guys on our team with more than 10 at bats in this situation. What is it that has this team clicking so well? I've been getting that eerie feeling I once had back in 2005. The feeling that we're watching something special happen.

 

 

Dunn - 8/14 with 3 HR and 17 RBI with an OPS 1.865

De Aza - 9/17 with 1 HR and 20 RBI with an OPS 1.409

AJ - 8/15 with 1 HR and 14 RBI with an OPS 1.326

Alexei - 9/17 with 0 HR and 17 RBI and OPS 1.147

Tank - 5/13 with 1 HR and 8 RBI and OPS 1.145

Beckham - 5/11 with 0 HR and 10 RBI and OPS .930

Konerko - 4/13 with 0 HR and 8 RBI and OPS of .785 (WTF Paulie!?)

 

As a team we are hitting .455 (60/132) and an OPS of 1.129

 

 

Heres the rest of the league for comparison

 

our Runner on 3rd, lt 2 out league rankings for the last couple of years:

2011 - 12th in the AL and 22nd in MLB in OPS (.791)

2010 - 6th in AL and 19th in MLB in OPS (.816)

2005 - 1st in AL and 3rd in MLB in OPS (.973)

 

De Aza's numbers are ridiculous considering he is a leadoff hitter, he just takes it to another level

 

 

 

Those numbers are ridiculous and unsustainable.,

Those numbers are ridiculous and unsustainable.,

This, so let's enjoy them while they last. No way we put up a 1.100 OPS the whole year.

Those stats are great, and what makes this team so much fun to watch. Something we haven't seen in those situations for the last several years.

Those numbers are ridiculous and unsustainable.,

 

you suck

you suck

 

Now that is a sustainable trend.

Now that is a sustainable trend.

well played sir.

It is probably not sustainable, but the addition of Youk should help. How does Rios look?

Dunn's numbers are absurd considering when he was with the reds he had a stretch of like a year and half where he was 0-40 or something like that
