But right.
You are impossible.
But right.
Polanco is money with men in scoring position. That is all.
At 40-50 RBIs a year and the best team in baseball, you would think that the tiggers would get more poeple in scoring position.
Jealousy and envy, of all my enemies.
Youve been exposed for being a hater.
Whose your team...no no no.....lemme guess.....the Cardinals...lol
Picking up where we left off.
Today is Polanco's first game back since the injury Aug. 15th. His first at bat with the bases loaded in the 1st inning was a double, raising his batting average with RISP to .380. The Tigers were 70-33 with him in the lineup and 22-29 without him.
The team batting average with him in the line-up was .281, without him it is .257.
They score 5.2 runs with him and 4.5 without him.
They are winning in his first game back 15-0 in the 4th inning.
Definitely not overpaid.
^ Couldnt have said it better.
There is the cranial quote of the century. What's his BA?
.380 w/RISP
I know you think he is overpaid and made a pretty good case that he may be.
But to the team he is worth every penny. Total coincidence that the slumping Tigers break out in a big way the moment PP comes back?
Maybe. Tiger fans know differently though. Seen it before.
They have won 4 in a row. Pal has only played in 2 of those games. He has batted 9th both times.
The 1st game, the Tigers batted around and scored 10 in the 1st.
They won the day before and day after without him, sweeping the lowly Royals, worst team in baseball. They have their last 3 at home against the same Royals. If you discount the Royals, the only series the Tigers have won since the 1st week of August have been 2 gainst the White Sox, and we all know how they tanked.
I think the resurgence can be more attributed to the schedule makers.
3 RBI's yesterday....in a 4-3 win against TO
I always liked Polanco when he was on the Cardinals.
Hes obviously not Scott Rolen, but I wish the Cards could've done something this offseason to get him to play him at second, cause his solid hitting at the top of the lineup, and good D, would've changed alot of things this season.
The Cardinals loss, is the huge gain of the future, IMO World Series champs of 2006.
0-1 in a PH in a 8-6 loss.
I wonder what it would be like if Polanco batted after players who don't strike out all the time.
But... having him in the lineup makes everyone better, or at least that's what you told me.
...and he's (or was before he was hurt) your leadoff hitter...
He was our #2 hitter. Granderson was leadoff. So in effect, he is batting after a leadoff hitter who strikes out all the time, the 9 hitter who strikes out all the time, and the 8 hitter who strikes out all the time. Our leadoff hitter is 3rd in the league in strikeouts. Inge is 25th.
Thanks for pointing that out Capt. I now agree with you that he's not worth what he's getting paid.
0-5 with 2 left on in a loss.
Tigers win tonight and they win the Central le.
I think we gon lose. 7-0 KC after the top of the 1st ING inning.
Coming back, 7-4 after 3.
Everything has to be done the hard way.
Good thing Pal came back; he's making the whole team better. Altho it is interesting his last 11 games played they are 3-8.
