EE comes to bat with bases loaded and 2 outs 4 times in the weekend Pirates series. He goes 0 for 4, leaving all 12 men on base. He could have collected a ton of RBIs, but came up with ZIP. And how many times do we get to watch Adam Dunn come up with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs, only to wiff for a K? Talk about an unproductive out! You don't even give the defense the opportunity to screw up, runners don't advance, nobody scores, and you put the pressure on the next batter. Watching that crap is getting real old and we've still got 149 games to play. Sparky Anderson would say "As his big bats go, so goes the team". Right now, Dunn, EE, and Griffey aren't doing much. When Gonzalez returns to the line up at shortstop, probably around the end of April, I'd move Keppinger to 3rd base, and send EE to Louisville, where he belongs. In the bullpen, Todd Coffey would be my odd man out when Matt Belisle returns. Coffey absolutely stinks when you need him. Last Edited By: Klinger April 13, 2008 5:26 PM. Edited 3 times.

What really p***es me off about Adam Dunn isn't necessarily the strikeouts although those a real treat to watch. My problem with Dunn is that twice in one run games in late innings he has gotten walks with 2 outs. He almost gives pitchers a perfect strike if it's early in the count. Swing the freakin bat! You can hit it 500 feet and your team needs a run! Walks are normally great, but not in 1 run games when you are a home run hitter. Last Edited By: AllHoopsNow April 13, 2008 7:38 PM. Edited 1 times.

I swear, he has to lead the league in solo homeruns in games with a 5 run minimum difference...

I'm pretty sure that Adam doesn't see that same pitch in a one run game but, I agree that he has to understand that hitting zone and strike zone may not always be the same. Being a big fan of the 3 run homer, playing in a park built for homerun hitters, I'll take my chances with Edwin and Adam ( knowing they won't always deliver but, will usually give us a chance when they deliver ). Glad to know that Dunn was responsible for the last game, I could have sworn the pitcher was named something else and I definitely thought there was more than one hitter in the game. << Previous Topic Next Topic >> Forum Jump RaiderRoundball Main Arena Bookmarks del.icio.us Digg it Facebook Blogger Yahoo MyWeb Email «Prev 1 2 Next» Quick Reply bbcode help Use Smilies (Complete smilies list) Convert URLs Subscribe to this topic Preview RaiderRoundball Locker Room > RaiderRoundball Main Arena Click to subscribe by RSS Click to receive E-mail notifications of replies
