4/4 @ Orioles

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ernie Lombardi was perhaps the slowest runner in mlb history. He was so slow that many times he would get thrown out at 1st by the RF. However, he was such a great hitter that he finished his 15 year career with a .306 lifetime BA.

Announcers say Richards can't throw curve or slider for a strike, hence all the fast balls.

I remember Adrian Gonzalez as the slowest player I've watched in my lifetime

Announcer says Orioles' Zimmerman has thrown a bunch of fastballs down the middle and not paid the price.

Well, if he gets control of those two pitches, the SOX may have something special. I HOPE.

Yup

[Maxbialystock]

Dalbec is a liablity at the plate.

[Thunder]

DalbecKKKKKKK

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup, he was sloooooow. I checked the internet on slow runners and found the SOX had their share.

[vegasbob]

So how long do they give Dalbec to find his groove, probably need to see some real improvement by end of April

I'd rather have the pitcher hit

[Thunder]

Kike should have two dingers

[vegasbob]

Welcome to the deadball era

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Deader ball, no steroids. I guess Bond's records are safe.

[Maxbialystock]

Announcers are saying it's a heavier ball this year. Hernandez liner would have been a dinger last year. It's not the weather.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike should have two dingers

 

He definitely likes Zimmerman.

[mvp 78]

Pujols is slowest player in Statcast era.

[a700hitter]

I am tired of hearing about Kike’s personality. Enough already.

Welcome to the deadball era

 

Fangraphs had a stat that exit velo is up this year.

[Maxbialystock]

Announcers say Sox are praying Zimmerman stays in the game because "everything is loud right now," meaning the ball is being hit hard on the outs. Same is probably true of Richards and the Orioles.

[Thunder]

6 days ago I was terrified of the Orioles offense

Yeah, be careful what you wish for. WEEI?

Is Mullins legit?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sandy Leon

 

 

Of the players after the '60's Cecil Fielder is considered the slowest.

What records? I don't count his. And it's a shame because Barry was a great hitter and player without steroids. His dad was pretty good too.

[Maxbialystock]

Announces say that slider was in the middle of the plate, hence the liner single. But it was on the outer edge of the plate.

[mvp 78]

s*** call blue!

[Thunder]

Yeah, be careful what you wish for. WEEI?

 

Yeah. I have it on too, obviously

Hank > Barry > Babe
