5.1 heart attack post game

[Tracer Bullet]

Was there really anything to come back from for Soriano recently? Last 2 weeks:

 

.297 .400 .595 .995

 

Last year?

 

Yeah, but why still act surprised that's "back?" It's not like he's just started hitting in the last few games. He's been looking good most of the season now.

 

we're only a month in after a terrible year last year. I don't think it's terrible for some people to want to see a month (or more) of ABs before they determine last year was a blip (injury related or otherwise) rather than a trend.

 

I only watched the last few innings. Was the umpire terribly inconsistent with balls and strikes all game?

 

Who said it was terrible? My response was based on the comment sounding like Soriano had just picked up in the last few games.

 

Who (other than you) said Soriano just picked up in the last few games? All inari said was "Soriano is...back?" which could easily mean Soriano could be back to the .900 OPS Soriano that we had before last season. And in the quote above, you infer surprise and say he's looked good most of the season. Well, the season is a month old and he's looked much better than he did last year. I think "Soriano is...back?" is a perfectly logical comment, especially after yesterday's game when he had a big hit.

 

Seems inari, I, and maybe others, thought a month's worth of ABs was a good time to contemplate that Soriano might be back to pre-2009 form and you seemed to take issue with that (i.e., you decided at some point earlier this season that he was back to pre-2009 form, which is also logical, I suppose). Maybe we're all inferring things that none of us meant.

TL; DR. I'm eating pancakes.

Hey guys...I think Soriano might be back...

it's so hard to tell with him because when he's on he hits the ball really well, and when he's cold he can't hit a beach ball. he was lousy early on but for the last 2-3 weeks he's been really hot. at some point he'll go ice cold; last year there was just a lot more of the cold than the hot. hopefully this year it's more like 2007-08.

I still believe that last year wasn't so much "more cold than hot" as much as it was "more injured than not".

Yeah, I think playing on that bad leg really effected him. I mean, it's not even like he was bad the whole year. I was especially letdown last season because he got off to such an insane start for the first month+ before just toppling off of a cliff.

 

And there he goes again!
