Rosario came into today with a sub .700 OPS, and a sub .300 OBP. He might someday be one, but he is not currently a good MLB hitter. -
It's one thing to have Santana at the bottom of the lineup, stuggling badly. It's another thing to have a lineup that contains Robinson, Hicks, Santana, Herrmann, and Rosario. Tough to put together innings.
-
I've liked Hicksie a lot more lately, but that was a pathetic AB.
-
On the other hand, assembling a roster where Shane Robinson is batting second is either bad managing, or bad GM'ing. Or both. Like I said, I wouldn't have pitched to Gomez, but there was no good option there. Thompson just simply can't walk that guy. On the other hand, having Robinson sacrifice after a Dozier leadoff double...to me, that's bad managing.
-
I wouldn't call it bad managing, rather a different selection from among a bad set of options. It was definately bad relief pitching though.
-
I'd walk Gomez, and hope to turn 2 and get out of it.
-
Can't walk that guy, Thompson. Just can't walk him.
-
Plouffe has been in a bit of a funk lately. Need him to start raking again. They have so few other options to carry the offense.
-
And the sacrifice WORKS! not.
-
Why would you sacrifice here? Oh, I forgot. Shane Robinson.
-
And he ended up hitting the ball fairly hard. That's what happens, sometimes.

He deserved a better fate after that AB.

Pressly may need 75 before he throws a strike.
-
I'd have enough hitters that neither one would be any kind of realistic option except in an emergency.
-
Something needs to be done to add a hitter or two to this team. If Shane Robinson is hitting second, you're not taking yourself seriously as a contending team.
-
Nice job, Blake! Thanks!
-
Whatever the reason, his inability to pull the ball with any authority has reached epic proportions. Boston was literally playing their RFER all the way over into the right center gap, and shallow, even against RH pitching. It's shocking to see.
-
The ball was not catchable.

Game Thread, Twins @ Red Sox, 6/4 @ 3:05 pm CT
USAFChief replied to Shane Wahl's topic in Archived Game Threads
Confirmation from Fenway...WINNAH!! -
It wasn't a lazy fly ball, Lev. And it hit the wall a long way from where Hicks started, not to mention that's a quirky wall that is tricky to play, with odd angles and weird bounces. Nobody catches that.
-
I don't think it's fair or reasonable to expect OFers to catch every ball that reaches the OF. Particularly ones that smash off the CF wall.

(POLL) Best DH option currently on the 25 man roster:
USAFChief replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Neither Dozier or Plouffe are DHing, at least so far. This is a red herring. You might as well say Harmon Killebrew. And if they start DHing, that still leaves one of Escobar or Nunez in the lineup every day, which has the exact same effect as DHING them.
