so much for small ball

[Coach C]

Is it just me or has DLee not looked good with men on base lately.

 

It just appears to me that whenever nobody's on base, D-Lee can do alot of damage. But whenever there are RISP, it's a different story.

it's not just you.

[Roast]

and that has made all the difference. . .

 

Wohoo, an obscure reference that I picked up on!

 

Unless it wasnt, and it was just a coincidental choice of words. Gah, its too early to think this much.

 

Is Robert Frost really obscure, Roast? :P

 

Hey, you know what. I'm out of school. Anything in written/book form is obscure.

This guy has a 9 something ERA. We should pound lumps on him tonight.

 

SHOULD being the key word.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, really, you never cease to amaze me.

 

Funniest thing..... you know my wife said the same thing !! :wink:

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

wow, we suck at playing small ball. it isn't a matter of having a leadoff hitter, either.

[Coach C]

How many pitches did Claussen throw?

 

Gameday says 18.

[erik316wttn]

YOU GUYS SUCK!! BUNCH OF LOSERS CAN'T SCORE ON A GUY WITH A 9.85 ERA!! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE MINORS!!

 

(there was very little negativity in the game thread. You can't mess with something that works. Luckily, I'm here to save the day. ;))

[Roast]

Is it just me or has DLee not looked good with men on base lately.

 

Actually, his AVG with RISP is in the .390's. Thats higher than his overall average.

[Blueheart05]

Is it just me or has DLee not looked good with men on base lately.

 

No, he has slipped in recent games. He was hitting well over .400 in those spots but I saw last night the average is now around .390. Good but not what we expected. He just needed a fly ball there.

[frostwyrm]

What are the odds of scoring when you have a man on 2nd with no outs? It's over 50% if I remember correctly.

Unless you're the Cubs.

[AAApittsburgh]

He's Luke freaking Hudson. So why are we making him look like Tim Hudson, ya losers?

[Omar]

1 down.

[Fred Hornkohl]

How many pitches did Claussen throw?

 

67 pitches in 3-2/3 innings.

 

Hundson threw 18 pitches in the first inning tonight.
