You don't see the sarcasm in that post? I thought piggy-backing on DA's witticism was evidence enough.

6 bad games indicates he is pretty much screwed this year. Hopefully at some point in the last 156 he can figure something out which can give him some hope for next season.

 

Maybe he can establish some value and we can dump his salary at the deadline.

nah.... it is much too early. now if this was 25 games in, that may be a different story.

 

edit ~~~~ a while ago, players entering their second yr, it was always been said, they would have a second yr slump, does anyone remember this ??

 

It's called the sophmore slump.

dang it, i just forgot the name ..... many thanks.

You'd think a leadoff hitter would be able to get a bunt down, but apparently that is not the case.

What the $&@# was that, Adam?

 

Dumb baseball IQ again.

People will deflect the blame to Robin for even calling for it and that's fair, he deserves it. But even if it's a stupid job, Eaton has to be able to do it.

Stupid to have the bunt play on there at all (my opinion), stupider when the pitcher just walked one guy and hit the next (my opinion), completely and indefensibly stupidest to still have it on with two strikes (fact). Just plain dumb baseball.

I posted this in the game thread but will post here as well.

 

If he bunted on his own it just proves how low his baseball IQ is and there are reasons to believe it is very low.

 

I am starting to think he is more suited for the 9 hole.

That pretty much covers it.

Is DeAza still excelling with the O's? Why do players do so well when they LEAVE Chicago?? Rios had eight RBIs when he got hurt the other day, etc. Eaton needs to get his head out or he'll lose his leadoff spot. He isn't hitting.

You asked that question like two days ago and it was answered.

It must have been in a popular thread. I missed it I guess.

I did see him get picked off the other day.

Within your post was the answer.

Rios hit four home runs in Texas last year. Four.

I saw him mis play a ball the other day.

I saw him scratch his ear. I winder if he's distracted and not concentrating enough ... or maybe it's like the Carol Burnett signal to her mother.

De Aza was a really good player for the Sox who wasn't appreciated nearly enough. That said his stats so far this year are pretty lucky.

I specifically stayed out of the thread announcing the Eaton extension because it was kind of shocking at least to me. There have been plenty of "one hit wonders" in baseball . Not saying that applies to Eaton but it seemed a little premature to extend him. Hoping he bounces back but he still makes stupid baserunning decisions and that was evident last year. His fielding and OBP made him a Sox darling but he has his flaws.
