At least he was nice enough to hit his 3 run jack when the score was 10-3.
-
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZZ can officially hop aboard the Adam Dunn Love Train! He's batting over .300! .304/.435/.750 43 HR 111 RBI 94 BB 162 K
-
Dunn with a horrible game today. 2 strike outs, 1 three-run rally killer, and 0 sac flies.
-
pre reds series bump .288/.422/.692 36 HR 81 RBI 90 BB 153 K 9 SB!
-
Putting Hendry as Smithers though is brilliant, so you've gone beyond my idea of "you should replace Strawberry and Homer with Dubois and Macias and photoshop them in that Simpsons scene".
-
Hahaha, that sig is excellent Jon. (even though it was my idea)
-
8/18 .444/.565/.722 1 HR (now 2). Those were Walker's numbers against Remmy. So what does Dusty do? He takes out Wuertz, who was cruising, and replaces him with a pitcher who has consistently struggled against lefties his whole career, and has especially struggled against Larry Walker. Absolutely mind-boggling.
-
Except I bet Dunn is even more of a comedic genius.

No kidding. They'll lose only 89 games!
-
Why can't Dusty let Dubois play an entire game?
-
I didn't notice, but there was a post you made one minute after the date rape one in which must have been 5,000 :cry: :cry: Yeah, I just noticed that too. :x
-
Hahahahaha, that's awesome! I didn't even mean to, but my 5000th post couldn't have been more perfect. EDIT: upon further examination, that wasn't my 5000th post. some stupid mvp baseball crap was the 5000th post.
-
Pish posh. Dunn is entirely too manly to succumb to any date rape drug.
-
Whoever spiked him is a dead man!
-
If Dusty is responsible for this rainout, then he's done a good thing! Prior + wet pitching conditions = disaster. Well played, Dusty!
-
I'm not ignoring anything. I'm saying Burnitz's error cost us the game. Burnitz makes the catch, Ramon Hernandez's groundout ends the inning without scoring a run. Are you denying this? Not making an easy out cost us the victory. What the hell's your problem anyways? I don't recall anyone ever saying that getting an out at the expense of a run is a bad thing. Sulley's point is simple. The goal of almost every at bat is to not create an out. Sure, in some situations, like a 0-0 tie in the 6th inning, trading an out for a run is a good thing. Show me where someone said this isn't so. You just grasp at anything to argue about for whatever reason. And you also find the need to say that anyone who doesn't think like you are unsuccessful and jealous. It's childish and ridiculous. And for the love of God, you are not hijacking my Adam Dunn thread. No game today for Adam Dunn, so yesterday's projections stand.
-
No. Today's game was won by an error. The lack of making an out by a defender is what cost us.
-
Honest question, ZZ. What circumstances were there today that lead you to believe that Neifi deserved to start over Hairston? If it's the same as Dusty's reasoning, that Neifi has more experience with the pitcher, then Hairston is simply going to be riding the bench for a long time. I'd say Neifi has more experience with almost all the pitchers in the league than Hairston does.
-
Jesus Christ.

It's all good, homers are rally-killers. Dunn goes 1 for 4 with a triple and an RBI, no walks or strikeouts. .208/.269/.583 54 HR 162 RBI 27 BB 243 K and 27 triples (!!!)
-
Dunn was really bothered that ZZ called subs grinders that it translated to a poor day at the plate. 0/5 2 Ks. .211/.286/.579 65 HR 162 RBI 32 BB 292 K
-
http://www.penn-station.com/ Please tell me where on that site it's referred to as a "grinder".
-
They're subs, not grinders. I'd love for Dunn to have a higher batting average. But a .375 OBP and a high slugging percentage is still a positive contribution to any team, irregardless of BA and Ks.
-
Hindsight is 20/20, but I thought he should have taken Z out in the 1st when Z was clearly in pain. Oh well though. 110ish pitches isn't too bad, and Z seems to be able to handle it. But I agree, Z shouldn't have gone out for the 7th. And Z nearly killed himself on the basepaths. I love the guy, but by God he's gonna get injured one day. And it won't be from pitching! Either he'll try to bare-hand a comebacker, or he'll break somes bones on the basepath.
