I can name 4 times off the top of my dome.
Friday (Loss),Saturday (Loss), the extra-innings game at Anaheim (Loss, 80% his fault), the Chamberlain game we almost lost (Win).
It's not the number of ABs, it's the number of times he finds D-Ped and Ells on base and fails miserably to drive them in.
Maybe we should bat him behind 'Tek.............he doesn't get on base, so there's no chance to drive him in.
Fake injury, rehab assignment....the works.
Kilo....Papi can't leave 8 men on base on a nightly basis from the 6-spot.
It's the lesser of 2 evils, and definitely a difference.
The problem with Ortiz can be fixed my simply moving him down in the order, which Francona and his stubborn huge dome refuse to take action on.
The SS problem is something the Sox can not fix internally, and the defensive ineptitude is killing this team.
Because neither Julio Lugo nor Nick Green can catch the f***ing baseball with any regularity.
Julio Lugo just plain sucks.
Nick Green is a 2B playing out of position.
Saw a report on it on ESPNLA the other day.
Apparently, the Yankees are well aware of the problem, but experts say as the weather gets warmer, the stream is gonna die and the stadium will stop being a launching pad.
This should only last until June apparently.
Read.
They lowered the right field upper deck, and the current is jet-streaming towards right-field.
It's not just a cheap read, it's been confirmed by several sources.
It's also been confirmed by the increased home run production of sluggers such as Carlos Ruiz.
