April 14, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 01:53 AM) 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.
April 14, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) 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.

April 15, 201511 yr You'd think a leadoff hitter would be able to get a bunt down, but apparently that is not the case.

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.
April 15, 201511 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) What the $&@# was that, Adam? Dumb baseball IQ again. 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.
April 15, 201511 yr 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.

Just plain dumb baseball. That pretty much covers it.
April 15, 201511 yr 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. Edited April 15, 201511 yr by greg775

April 17, 201511 yr 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.

But even if it's a stupid job, Eaton has to be able to do it. 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.
