There's your run, Floyd.

 

We can't even score in an exciting way, lol. Wild pitch and groundout, lowering Keppinger's average even further.

PEople would complain more if it was a HR.

If we're going to add the equivalent of Jose Contreras and Freddy Garcia to our roster, which were the two key in-season moves in 2004...well, then there might be more of a reason to get excited.

 

 

Nice ab for Paulie, didn't do too much

Maybe.

 

Except if it came from Adam Dunn or Courtney Hawkins...

WTF! LOL

Just horrid to watch this team try to score. Dunn is so overmatched.

DJ's excuse for Dunn is his swing path.

 

Too long and not quick to the ball, guiding the bat and feeling for the ball.

 

 

 

It's also hilarious how quickly they cut away from the booing to the radio break when Dunn strikes out to end an inning.

 

Diamond still with a 5.40 ERA. Seems every game we're getting limited by bad pitchers, although Diamond was the best pitcher for the Twins last year (the tallest midget, admittedly).

That was just bad baseball right there, sorry. Dunn versus a lefty, can't hit the ball and easy out at third. It's like we let them out of that inning on purpose.

Wow just wow. So glad Dunn is here

Watch Gavin ..... Ahhh nevermind

Any chance we can have Adam Dunn talk to Kerry Wood about retiring during the season?

Surely many of you just knew Sox were going to strike out and get thrown out at third after they showed the 'run expectancy' thing on the screen and realized Dunn would swing through another pitch from a lefty. Yuk.

No, that's the 6th inning

Your man Rios trying too hard to create something there on his own.

 

If you're stealing 3rd and no-contact Dunn is at the plate, you have to get there with a 100% confidence or wait on the next hitter...it's not like Alexei doesn't have a chance to drive him in from 2nd.

 

Just not good baseball, but understandable with the offense in a stupor.

17 for 100 with RISP now, a cool .170

What are the options with Dunn really? DFA or clear waivers and send him down to AAA? Dunno just grasping at straws trying to find some sense to this madness. :(

He can't be sent down without his permission. He could instead request release and hang the Sox with the remainder of his contract.

Someone should be recording this game and sending it to every front office in baseball...maybe we actually can get something decent back for Floyd.

 

Hopefully not another toolsy minor league outfielder with a Dunn/Flowers-like K ratio.

I think they give him 40 games, and if it's all the same, release him. Eat the money.

They're going to have to assess at some point the damage to the organization, attendance, etc., from trotting him out there every day...

 

Of course, they also would have to study their ability to pay out XXX amount of money in a one-off payment vs. bi-weekly over the course of the season.

JR is not going to pay Dunn to sit home that is a pipe dream.

We've never eaten more than $5 million on a contract. This would be closer to $20-25 million.

 

Just don't see it happening. As much as we'd all like to move on.

He said after that 2011 nightmare season he would rather hang it up than endure another season of constant booing and negative press. I sincerely hope something happens soon. This can't go on indefinitely. Rather have him ride the pine and give someone else a chance honestly.
