was anything more predictable this season...

than that at bat by Bynum? Not to be negative or anything, but I already knew that, with two runners in scoring postion, he’d make a weak out to end the inning.
Really sad to have automatic outs in the lineup.

by Lothar on Jun 17, 2008 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Of course not, because he's a fucking attrocious hitter.

I’ve never seen a major leaguer load up, get his hands back nicely, time the pitch well, and then make such pathetic contact so consistently. It’s embarrassing for the organization.

His bat sucks too but at least he has mad fielding skills.

And no way he doesn't suck as bad as Bynum at hitting.

I still don’t get why we don’t just play Cintron – he’s not a bad fielder and twice as good of a hitter.

Kid is just 18

I’m guessing he’s coming to Delmarva. Can’t wait. Although someone might want to mention to him Adam Jones probably had CF locked down for the foreseeable future.

But he had to watch a lot at once there. The ball tailed right into the runner. Even if he’d grabbed it he wasn’t going to make the tag in time.
