vs. Red Sox, 6/16

But you do understand my point don't you. A base hit to move the runner up from 2nd to 3rd but we still don't score during that inning

What is the point of that stat

Oh, yeah, I see. I agree. It's like bunting with one out. Agreed.

Matt K's but at least he was swinging

[weams]

Miller had been traded to the Tigers before Duquette pulled the trigger. It probably meant the difference of winning that ALDS.

[MdSooner]

And Schoop K's swinging

[Chavez Ravine]

They aren't hitting that high fastball.

This is how much I hate the stat RISP

we are 1-1 but didn't score. That stat means absolutely nothing

Indeed it doesn't because it does not differentiate between whether or not a run was scored. Like you said, a base hit with a runner on second where the run doesn't score still counts as a hit with RISP, but the point of

the stat (so I thought) was to determine how well a team scored runs when they had opportunities. Even with a guy on third, a soft infield base hit that the runner can't score on is also counted as a hit with RISP. A stat

that only factors in hits that score runs with RISP would be a more accurate and useful statistic.

4-3

Remold out for the 3rd out of the inning

That was not a very good at bat by our guys

[allquixotic]

Everyone getting K'ed by a pitcher who started the game with an ERA around 5.75. We'll be sure to do our best to lower his ERA tonight. Swinging when we shouldn't and not swinging when we should! These guys get themselves twisted around backwards and it's real hard to watch.

Terrible at bats that inning. Awful. Schoop needs to learn occasionally that is ok, not a demeaning thing at all, to risk being called out on strikes rather than jump up and try to hit a pitch at your eye level.

We turned Matt Shoemaker into Clayton Kershaw.

Ortiz is such a drama queen.

How did a team desperate for SP ever got rid of E-Rod, Arrieta, etc? Wait, that's precisely why they are a team desperate for SP.

The Big Baby as my wife calls him didn't even run to 1st

[MdSooner]

3 up and 3 down again

I like Wilson

A heck of lot more than our Wright

[mrbig1]

Wilson is looking good so far.
