vs. ROYALS, 10/15 (A.L.C.S., Game Four)

[ArtVanDelay]

Adam does it again-strikes himself out on the ball in the dirt. He will never be an elite player. He's got to know what's coming by now. Maybe he should be batting in the bottom of the order, with flash up higher.

So frustrating. How is he the only person on Earth that doesn't know what pitch is coming?

[Crazysilver03]

Adam Jones is exactly the kind of player that will never lead a team to a championship. He has way way way too many rookie level at bats. Dan will have to end up shopping him around at some point. I hope he doesn't wait for Jones to fail again next playoffs.

Seriously? Shop your AS CF? Cool, let's trade him for pieces that may not even get us to the playoffs.

[Dibbs31]

We have too many 4-9 type hitters. And no 1-3 type hitters

[Ori-Al]

Maybe Frank Robinson and his career. 3891 base percentage should have a talk with Adam. For a second straight postseason our leader is helping lead us down the tubes.

The only time DD would ever shop Jones is if we're going into total rebuilding mode again

Good lord.. I go to make a bottle well before the first pitch. I come back and the half inning is over. Did we just first pitch swing at everything?!

All right Gonzo, it's all you.

...literally

It is truly amazing, and sad, how much more grief Jones gets than any other player on the team.

Now I am the type to very much not believe in ulterior motives but in Jones' case you all got me wondering.

[Il BuonO]

Yea, give Flaherty more at bats.

That will work!

Ryan has a big time BA in his first PS.

[JR Oriole]

Jones is always...how do they say...aggressive. But every so often he gets into a real funk to the point where you just want him to go up there and stand there like a stick until they throw him three strikes.

Next season, it would be interesting to see Buck tell him to go up there and not swing the bat for 10 straight at-bats....just to see if he would accidentally swing because he couldn't take it anymore. Kind of like a muscle spasm.

Hasn't pitched in 2 weeks good luck.

Just figured out how to ignore a certain negative nancy :thumbsup1:

Glad to hear that. Anyone need help with that, shoot me a PM. Remember, no quoting of anyone negative today. This is a peaceful place. For Fans.

[ArtVanDelay]

Infield hit. This is ridiculous.

[Eutaw]

Are you serious
