Ramirez is batting just .191 (9-for-47)

[ducks]

Ramirez is batting just .191 (9-for-47) with three homers in Philadelphia’s hitter-friendly ballpark. He joked about his lack of success here and told reporters he needed extra batting practice.:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[T Park]

Yeah.

And?

[Melmart1]

Go Dodgers! :)

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm sure this is about Manny's hair . . . .

[dirk4mvp]

ducks obsession over the broncos and the dodgers/manny is something he should get checked out. That can't be healthy.

[JMarkJohns]

Lots of factors could be a part of his lack of success. If you expect him to repeat those numbers right now, I'm afraid you're mistaken. He probably won't hit .400 with a handful of homers and two hands full of RBI, but him batting around .280-.300 with 2 homers and 5 RBI is doable at Philly if the series goes six or seven.

Im waiting for his head to explode if the Dodgers reach the world series.

[ducks]

if dodgers reach the ws
manny can demand 30 million a year and dodgers will have to give it to him

[dirk4mvp]

damn, he just crushed the ball. almost got it out.

[baseline bum]

Boy, that was a shitty first AB for Manny, ducks!

[dirk4mvp]

what manny wrong with him. not so good not hit out of field.

[ducks]

what happened in the 8th when it mattered?

[IronMexican]

Ducks, shit the FUCK up. I was worried when I saw Lowe need a fly out to end the inning before that 3 run inning for the Phils.

turiaf for president= manny hugger

[turiaf for president]

what are u like 10 years old? manny hugger? hardly. he batted .400 with the dodgers. something u said he wouldnt be able to do for the rest of the season.

just stop hating man. ure fucking retarded

[dirk4mvp]

turiaf for president= manny hugger


do realize Manny is four times better than anybody on the diamondbacks roster?

[turiaf for president]

^ Oh watch out. stop hugging manny

[bostonguy]

What a gay loss. Oh well. If the Dodgers are truly a great team, theyll get through this.

[turiaf for president]

i thought tonite was gonna be tough. hamels is a shut down ace pitcher. If the dodgers won this game, and they were an error and one pitch away from winning it, i think the phils woulda been dejected losing with their ace out there. billingsley will come through tomarrow.

[IronMexican]

That was the BEST pitcher the phils had. their next 3 are MAJOR drop offs. I am not worried one bit anymore. Bills going tonight is a sure win with Myers pitching, thhen Kuroda vs Moyer? lol.

[TheMadHatter]

Phils got lucky tonight to be honest.

Their pitching drops off quite dramatically and if their bats don't keep pace they will lose Game 2.

[ducks]

do realize Manny is four times better than anybody on the diamondbacks roster?

do you realize he is playing for his contract

[dirk4mvp]

do you realize he is playing for his contract


no answer to my question?

[ducks]

do realize Manny is four times better than anybody on the diamondbacks roster?

he is not
the d-backs have lots of rising starts
upton, drew, jackson

drew had a great year
upton had he been healthy would have been ungodly
manny is not 4 times better then dunn
manny when he is right and not upset at the manangement and owner is a hell of a player
when he plays right
like running hard to first basebase
his d sucks

[FromWayDowntown]

ducks is right. Manny's not 4 times better than Dunn; he's probably 3 1/2 times better than Dunn.

[Melmart1]

Why do I keep making the mistake of opening this thread and reading Ducks' ridiculous hater takes?:bang He is like the Wild Cobra of the Baseball Clubhouse. That is not a compliment.

Oh, I think you're selling Wild Cobra short with that take.

you are better then that fwd
manny is not 4 times better then webb

[IronMexican]

Ducks in Baseball Clubhouse is the Ducks of Basketball Central

[T Park]

afraid to tell you guys but in the second half Brett Meyers has been probobly the Phillies best pitcher.

Meyers is on fiah.

[FromWayDowntown]

you are better then that fwd
manny is not 4 times better then webb

No, he's not 4 times better than Webb; but he is substantially better than Dunn -- shame on you for thinking otherwise.

Your willingness to suggest that Manny is anything less than a no-brainer Hall of Famer and (likely) the greatest right-handed hitter of this generation is beyond bizarre to me.

Then again, you keep insisting that Lebron James isn't very good, either.

[dirk4mvp]

i'm starting to think lebron and manny had sex with duck's gf.

[ducks]

I never said manny would not go to the hall of fame

[ducks]

other players on the team do stuff to get the team the win but manny gets all the credit when they win
when they lose they say manny can not do it alone

[ducks]

dunn is the only active player that has hit over 40 homeruns 7 seasons in a row

that is what the d-backs announcers said
when dunn hit number 40 this year

[FromWayDowntown]

dunn is the only active player that has hit over 40 homeruns 7 seasons in a row

that is what the d-backs announcers said
when dunn hit number 40 this year

Dunn hits around .250 for his career and has hit under .240 for 2 of the last 3 years while striking out almost 170 times per season.

Manny hits 40 home runs AND hits .314 for his career and has hit better than .320 for 2 of the last 3 years while striking out 120 times or fewer in each of those sesaons.

If you offered a team 4 Adam Dunn type players for 1 Manny Ramirez type player, I think the team that would be giving up the Manny wouldn't immediately bite on that offer. I know I wouldn't.

[JamStone]

Dunn has hit 40 homeruns in five consecutive seasons, not 7.

still impressive

[JamStone]

Manny 3-for-7 (.429) with 1 HR and 4 RBI in these first 1 1/2 games so far.

Fucking bum.

Ramirez is a postseason stud period.

Without Ramirez the Red Sox are still at Cubs level choking and not moving on.

[ducks]

Manny 3-for-7 (.429) with 1 HR and 4 RBI in these first 1 1/2 games so far.

Fucking bum.

the manager should have walked him becaues their was a base open to set up a force at any base with 2 outs

managers are so stupid

[ducks]

And the Dodgers season is evident of that. We were .500 before him.

how many games above .500 were you with him?
and all games in sept(19) were against teams under .500 and with teams playign triple aaa players

WHERE The hell ARE THE DODGER FANS?

THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT WORRIED AT ALL

THIS IS THE PHILLIES THAT SWEPTED THE DODGERS IN DODGER'S PLACE WITH MANNY PLAYING FOLKS!(IN A FOUR GAME SERIES NOT 3)

[IronMexican]

It's not over.

[ducks]

It's not over.

WE SHALL SEE

[turiaf for president]

dood for the last time. shut the fuck up. the phillies held serve at their home. now the dodgers just gotta do the same. that same manny u said sucked hit a 3 run bomb and kept the dodgers in the game all day

[ducks]

dood for the last time. shut the fuck up. the phillies held serve at their home. now the dodgers just gotta do the same. that same manny u said sucked hit a 3 run bomb and kept the dodgers in the game all day

is that all the dodgers have to do
if they lose game three they are done

and manny should have walked any decent hitter should have worked in the sitiution manny was in

but the manager for the phillies sucks donkey eyes
manny must have paid him :downspin:

[turiaf for president]

if they lose game three they are done



no......i think u mean the dbacks are done.

even if they lose game 3 they have won 4 in a row vs the phils and while unlikely it can happen again.

[dirk4mvp]

yeah because one player does everything:rolleyes



I failed to witness fucking Adam Dunn take the piss ass diamondbacks to the playoffs. do you really have to be this stupid?

the red sox steal and manufacture runs now instead of trying to hit a homerun to bring them in
manufacture runs works better then waiting for the big hit

Great. It's the fact that the Dodgers played a whole lot better after they got Manny and won the division and a playoff series -- all with Manny being an incredible offensive player -- that shows that Manny's a great player.

You seem to think Manny is overrated just because the Red Sox keep winning, but that's a bogus argument. As you said, the Red Sox have had to completely change their style after losing Manny to keep the results the same. They were winning with Manny and they've won without him after changing their style. The relevant point here, however, is that the Dodgers werent' winning until they got Manny, but with him, they overtook the leader for most of the season in the NL West.

[FromWayDowntown]

By the way, check your homerism -- if Webb got traded to a bad team that got better when he went there, but the D'Backs winning percentage got better after Webb left, would you say that Webb is overrated?

[ducks]

the main reason dodgers won was they played no one over .500 in sept 19 games

[T Park]

omg

ducks will not let the freaking fact he is wrong GO

Hes like a more illiterate version of Whottt.

[ducks]

J. Bay doubled to deep left, D. Ortiz and K. Youkilis scored

[ducks]

2-0 sox

[ducks]

hum bay had the key walk in game one
now in game 2 he had the key hit to score 2

[ducks]

omg

ducks will not let the freaking fact he is wrong GO

Hes like a more illiterate version of Whottt.

wrong about what

people act like manny is the only reason they are in the playoffs
he is a reason
also a factor is 19 games in sept were played against teams under .500
and triple aaa players

[dirk4mvp]

wrong about what

newsflash, you fucking idiot. He is.

[ducks]

ouch 2 run homer for rays

[FromWayDowntown]

ouch 2 run homer for rays

Bay's overrated -- if he was any good, he would have stopped that homer.

[ducks]

the dodgers finished 6 games above .500
dodgers were close to .500 before manny

[ducks]

bay home run

[ducks]

with manny boston averaged 4.2 runs
without manny 6.2 runs a game!

[ducks]

Bay's overrated -- if he was any good, he would have stopped that homer.

could not catch it so he hit one himself

3 rbi tonight

humm

[ducks]

upton has 3 homeruns
manny 3 homeruns
bay 3 homeruns this post season

[ducks]

manager of boston is stupid
he should have pulled becket

[ducks]

another bay rbi

[Purple & Gold]

ducks, who dropped you on your head??

[turiaf for president]

ok u idiot. the dbacks played the same teams before september. so they shoulda had a big lead leading into september and kepted that lead based on your stupid ass arguement.

[baseline bum]

Hitting .474 with 3 HR, 8 RBI, and 7 walks in 5 1/2 playoff games is completely unacceptable; ducks is absolutely right.

[FromWayDowntown]

Just to keep track of this -- through 6 postseason games for each:

Manny -- .450 BA (9-20); .593 OBP (16-27); .950 SLG (3 HR, 1 2B, 5 1B); 8 RBI; rec. 4-2
Bay -- .440 BA (11-25); .517 OBP (15-29); .920 SLG (3 HR, 3 2B, 5 1B); 9 RBI; rec. 4-2

[T Park]

Hitting .474 with 3 HR, 8 RBI, and 7 walks in 5 1/2 playoff games is completely unacceptable; ducks is absolutely right.


The Red Sox clearly don't need a hitter of that calibar in a game like today.

[FromWayDowntown]

Just to put these numbers in print somewhere:

Manny Ramirez

8 games
AVG: .520 (13-25)
OBP: .667 (24-36)
SLG: 1.080 (27 total bases in 25 AB)
OPS: 1.747
Runs: 9
2B: 2
HR: 4
RBI: 10
Walks: 11

More than just the sheer numbers is the consistency: he had a hit in every postseason game this year, but he had 2 hits in 5 of the Dodgers' 8 postseason games. He also scored in 6 of his team's 8 games, and he drove in a run in 7 of those 8 games, including all 5 LCS games

[2centsworth]

Manny is an insane hitter, but damn Bay has done an admirable job of filling in.
