Continue Pena-loving here

He’s so good! And average! And cheap!

Anyone want to share tips on having that discussion?

Me: Why are hits important?
Them: You get on base and move baserunners.

Me: Ok, so don’t you want to know all the ways players get on base and how far they move baserunners?
Them: Yes.

Me: Ok, try OBP and SLG.
Them: But what about clutch OBP and SLG?

(Or at least that’s how I hope it goes.)

Not mine

But hilarious:

Guy 1: “What does OPS stand for?”
Guy 2: “I’m not sure, I think outs per swing.”
Guy 1: “Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.”

Here's my discussion with a Giants fan.

Me: Good God batting average is an awful statistic
Giants fan: How the hell are you supposed to gauge a hitter, then?
Me: OPS.
Giants fan: One of those Moneyball stats? Whatever. Billy Beane hasn’t won a world series.
Me: Neither has your team.

what sucks the most is

our 2 best scoring opportunities were killed by Crawford, Pena, Longoria…..supposed to be our 3 best hitters today :(

The only thing saving Gomes ....

from the worst bat on the field today is Tony Pena Jr’s presence

Meche is at 96 pitches

We should be able to chase him this inning if we can actually work some counts and hits some balls in play.

Garza hasn't been that bad

It has been the defensive alignment. Sonnova B. This is bad…. If I were there and paid to watch this I would be demanding money back. This is almost as bad as the Hit Show.

Garza has been on. I am wondering how consistent the Ump is at the plate not being able to see the game sucks.

by PewterPirate55 on Jul 7, 2008 2:43 PM EDT   0 recs

we got Ske on!

Go Rays!

I love Pena

And I’ll love him more if he can put his pride away and learn to move a runner or hit a sac fly once in awhile.

by matthan on Jul 7, 2008 2:44 PM EDT   0 recs

I wouldn’t say I defend CC. I just think he is playing better lately. He sucked at the start of the year.

by matthan on Jul 7, 2008 2:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

we got the call and then a hit

weird seeing us do that. always seems to happen against us.

this dude sucks,

why the fuck is brignac not getting more AB’s? why the fuck call him up to sit on the bench? obv he’s not ML ready, so the idea is to stick him on the bench for a couple weeks? ridiculous.

by davidsmarch on Jul 7, 2008 2:48 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

In his defense...

If you beleive the pitch tracker on Gameday, called strike three was well off the plate…

by AussieGriff on Jul 7, 2008 2:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

wow

I actually wish Jason Bartlett was up

by joeybw on Jul 7, 2008 2:47 PM EDT   0 recs

come on Aki

another double plz

by joeybw on Jul 7, 2008 2:48 PM EDT   0 recs

what is going on

we should be up 10-3 at this point

by joeybw on Jul 7, 2008 2:48 PM EDT   0 recs

I think you try to read my mind too much. I said Gross stinks vs left handed pitchers. I’m all for him starting against righties in our current platoon. He should just never face a lefty. He is faster than Hinske so why not have him steal?

by matthan on Jul 7, 2008 2:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Fair enough

Priority 1 should be to tie the game, but I can see why you’d want to wait.

by matthan on Jul 7, 2008 2:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Gross will be on the bench til the 9th

when he gets his 4th walkoff hit

by joeybw on Jul 7, 2008 2:49 PM EDT   0 recs

come on Aki!

why aren’t we stealing?
