Go get 'em, boys. Learn a lesson from last night and work some fucking counts.

I Like the line next to Kinsler.... To bad we could not get guys on base in from of our
3 and 4 hitters....:/

 

[biggunsbob]

Son of a gun I thought JD's ball was hit better...

 

[tinselwolverine]

Even though Miggy is slow, he shows that high baseball IQ of his in the angles he takes as he turns the bases...

 

[biggunsbob]

I agree once the RF bobbled the ball I thought Miggy could make it.. Hope he is ok...

We had 8 men on in front of them last night(Kinsler 3 times). They stranded 6 of them(VMart-5 Miggy-1)

 

[biggunsbob]

I am not sure why Brad us so stubborn about batting Kinsler leadoff...

Mostly VM....Last nght

Miggy did his job.... Not sure why you always have to attack my threads but I am just curious you have seen Kinsler's second half stats...

Cause I can repost them if you want me to...

But neither Kinsler or Hunter did their jobs in the first inning.. Or did I miss a hit from either :/

 

[gotime909]

Probably because he has excellent numbers batting in the 1 spot this year.

 

[biggunsbob]

I just don't think Kinsler or Hunter should be batting first or second...

Kinsler .316 Obp
Hunter .308 OBp..

JUST MY OPINOIN...

Why do you get so defensive? It's my right to comment if I don't agree with something. Just as it's your right to complain about the players before the game even starts.

Well we can only hope he can hit those numbers again the rest of the season cause he has had a horrible last 30 games ...His last seven and 14 are games even worse...

Kinsler in the leadoff spot this year

.324 .356 .493 .849

Yup, it kinda figures the one night Kinsler and Hunter decide they wanna get on base, VMart has a bad night. Tigers gonna Tigers.

 

[nsonnett14]

stop attacking me wahhhhh.....lmao putting Kinsler 1st in the lineup could be the little shakeup he needs and hes has much better success there . Of course you dont understand why brad does this , because you are clueless . oops there i go again , sorry johnny sensitive

.324 .356 .493 .849

Wow.

He is clearly a better batter based on the numerical order he bats in. Nothing to do at all with his overall talent level or anything, we should only bat him leadoff then he will always succeed!

/sarcasm


Come on man, you're smarter than this.

Come on man, you're smarter than this.

Jackson had alot better success once he was moved back to the leadoff spot ....so much so that people were actually complaining that we gave up that scrub , and called him one of our better hitters .

Some hitters are just more comfortable in certain spots for some odd reason ....but then again look who im trying to explain this to

That seems to be the story of this season. We never seem to have everything working together.

Hey, numbers never lie.....right?

But figure that when he got the bulk of his leadoff stats, he was red hot. He cooled considerably since then. So the numbers are less about where he bats in the order and more about when.
