The lineup's wrong

OCab leads off - but riddle me this Riddler, who plays "handle the bat" now?
Quentin ain’t got the right skillz, he can’t bunt so he’s a temporary fix. Right now is when we really miss Erstad. Or Eckstein even – Gibbons is a moron batting him 9th, everyone knows he plays leadoff.

Hopefully we can put the 1950s slappy's bunting follies on hold
I assume this is similar to putting Fields in the 2 hole last year. Get him more fastballs, let him loose. If this is an idea to take the OPS leader on the team and turn him into a bunting, slappy, hitter. Then Ozzie will get torched.

Do you miss Podsednik too and his .343 .477 .486?
I had to blink when I saw that line, but the Rockies are using him primarily as bench player/4th outfielder.

Uribe had to add 30 lbs in the offseason. He should have scored on that. Fuck, he should have scored on Orlandos grounder. In 98% sure we get out of the inning with no runs, it’s sad when you have NO confidence in the heart of your lineup scoring men with 2 outs.

by SoxfaninAZ on May 5, 2008 6:49 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
No
It was hit probably middle depth. Any average speed player would have scored, and the throw was 10 feet up the line and back. Even Thome would have scored on that throw.

I’ve never seen another team play a defense as retarded as ours. I understand shading a step or two, but when you play your centerfielder in right field you’re asking to give up triples. Nice play OC though.

ok i checked
here’s the stat line from 4/28 up to yesterday’s game
Technically, Matt should be the one calculating this, but I came up with .254. 14 of our 36 hits have been for extra bases, but 36/196 is a .184 batting average.

I'm definitely wrong. We don't even have a .250 BABIP on the year.
