bmfc1 wrote: Ruben Tejada--Mr. Clutch. In 2 games, he has 40% of the RBI that Bay has all season. Of course two of his RBI yesterday were of the "the guy should've caught it" kind and Bay hit one to the track that took an amazing catch to turn into an out. But those are the breaks. Nice to see Tejada come through, he's continued to look over matched most of the time since his callup. Suddenly this game is within grasp?
-
except you make inferences that he didn't just had a bad year, he was purposely stat-padding because despite spending his whole career suggesting that he grasps that home runs aren't everything he purposely took an approach that would make him a weaker player that just hit home runs. Maybe it was the influence of Jerry Manuel and his liking that style of player.
-
Not trying to make excuses cause all these guys are having better years, and probably are better players, but you've got a lot of sluggers having iffy years. Pujols, Uggla, Dunn.. A-Rod's picked it up but he wasn't having a great year either. Howard's numbers are down some. Might be some truth to the rumors about changing the baseball.

Vic Sage wrote: DUH. SHITIFIELD. hello.... i'd say he has adjusted. badly. He changed his approach when some shots died on the warning track, and he hasn't been heard from since. See "Wright, David". I'm confused. Didn't Wright hit 29 home runs in a down year, above his career average? All while maintaining he's not really a power hitter he's a gap hitter?
-
I guess my point is can we kill a guy without turning him into some hateful malcontent that just wants to twiddle his thumbs and swim in a pile of money?

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: He flatly rejected efforts to adjust this spring. Age is certainly a factor. Like any player who had his best years in the steroid era he's a big-time suspect, it has to be on the table. This also describes Derek Jeter to a tee. I'm not saying he didn't/isn't taking. Just that I doubt it's the reason he suddenly fell off a cliff, or the reason he was as good as he was. It's hard to quantify steroids, especially without even knowing which specific ones he might've been taking. Boston offered him a deal too, just less. It's not people were scared of signing him, just thought he maybe wasn't worth that much money towards the end.

Can analyze what Bay is failing to do all we want, but none of it really answers why. Why is he missing those pitches, or hitting them softly? If it were simple, he'd have fixed it.

It means Jason Bay = waster. Maybe he still thinks he's a Pirate. Amazin Avenue just posted this article about Bay More on Jason Bay's Declining Performance: wOBA and Whiffs per Swing http://www.amazinavenue.com/2011/6/2/2201032/whats-up-with-jason-bay a lot of this went over my head but I think it adds up to Bay = waster basically. It basically means he's just not seeing/hitting the inside pitches, particularly the balls up in the zone that he used to absolutely crush.

hey, Guillen had a nice rant on Sunday and they went out and swept the other Sox. Look out Braves!

metirish wrote: Agree with above posts , to be even competitive with the players he's putting out there nightly is doing good I think. I�m running out of ideas here. probably not the best ting to say. nah, I like that he's been willing to admit that he doesn't have all the answers, and that he's done things wrong in the past. He also said he's going to make changes. [crossout]And then he cracked a joke and laughed maniacally.[/crossout]

I'm not liking it much. The last four losses, the lead changed in the late innings when the starter was pulled for the reliever. some of it's bad luck in that Izzy has generally been pretty good but chose to give up his runs in a key spot. But I'm starting to wonder if maybe there are times that he's just not making the transition well. Granted their have been a lot of shennanigans and it's not like Collins is doing one thing over and over again and it's failing, he perhaps pulled Pelfrey too soon, Dickey too late. Maybe he was too loyal to Cap last night, they weren't scorched or anything but runners on maybe it's time to relieve him. Anyway, apparently the Mets were playing somewhat short recently? how long has Buchholz shoulder been bothering him? I wasn't expecting Parnell for Reyes, but given they didn't know how long they could go with Dickey and possibly Taylor being unavailable it makes sense now.

"the last time the Mets' [offense/bullpen/power] was this bad for so long a streak was back in ..." 5 doesn't even cover how many games we lost, like Friday's, in the 7th or 8th and had a chance to walk off in the 9th and didn't.

MFS62 wrote: Here's the scenario I want. Yanks down by a run, bottom of the ninth. Runners on first and third, two out, Jeter up. He hits a ball to the right side that hits the runner between first and second. The runner is called out, but, by rule he is credited with his 3,000th hit. Game over. Yankees lose! Yankees Lose! And the 3,000th hit carries that stigma(that it wasn't a clean hit). Forever. Later perfect.

Frayed Knot wrote: If you're going to be "gutsy" and spew stuff like that you really ought to have some specifics as to who and how. If not you're just blowing smoke. The problem (IMO) isn't stat hunting it's that they're not very good right now. The hitting stinks, they're missing their #1, #3, and #5 bats, the FA LF can't get the ball out of the infield, and the previously good bullpen can't get ME out right now. Clearly. My argument was play good defense (like they were doing) and hit better with RISP (just asking league average here, nothing fancy) and they'd be able to hang on to a couple of wins until the big bats come back to help. But if they're not going to do that.. Will be nice to see Reyes again.
