Look

This game ain’t over. But we aren’t going to win every game. Tonight the Dodgers are playing better. But its not over until the bottom of the 9th. And even then, sometimes it ain’t over.

I've been saying it all along.

Acuda has way more man love. But I’ve been begging to see Morales since we got him. I know he’s better than the Kotchman.

I think

It was all a very calculated move. Knowing that either they’d keep Tex and audition Morales in Left. Or if they couldn’t re-sign Tex they’d still have a fine bat with Morales at 1st.

I can't stand it ANYMORE

Vlad should not hit behind Torii. Torii is constantly getting doubled up by Vlad’s weakass infield grounders. He has to be moved down in the lineup.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 8:46 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm not sure the bench is appropriate

But he should be hitting 6th after Rivera and K-Mo.

Vlad still hitting behind Torii or that whenever Vlad is at bat a DP or K is almost assured.

Okay, he's hitting over 300, very true

Then Soth needs to slide him into a lineup position that doesn’t rely on power or scoring RBI’s. I love Vlad too, but he isn’t suited to bat in the 4 spot right now.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

by halofolife on Jun 20, 2009 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is as much of a 4 hitter now as Aybar or Izturis.

Do you really want to compare Vlad's stats to Rivera's?

Rivera has more extra-basehits in a week than Vlad does this season.

Vlad has how many more career Xtra base hits than Rivera?

It’s all a matter of how localized you feel like being. Tonight, Rivera has been the problem, not Vlad.

Hey, you're the one who claims K-Rod for Fuentes was a good idea.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Okay, lets not turn on each other outta frustration

Some of the time Vlad hits a single, sometimes he K’s, and every once in a while there’s an untimely rally killing DP. No better or worse than Abreu, K-Mo, Hunter or anyone else. I was just pointing out that right now, until he gets his stroke back he shouldn’t be in the 4 spot.

You don’t need to apologize that you are offending people who are living in 2007.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

This is not limited to tonight

He has been consistent. 6 extra-basehits in 120 at-bats. That is not a one-game evaluation of a player.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

What is your point?

If he is injured or if he needs to remember how to hit, he can do that at the bottom of the order.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

My point is that since coming back from the injury, Vlad is hitting

well over .300 and has had 5 of those 6 extra base hits. He’s getting there. I don’t see how batting him lower in the order affects the outcome tonight, so I don’t understand why you’re complaining.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It isn't about tonight

It is about his performance as a whole. See below. The list of players with higher slugging percentages than Vlad on our roster:

Torii
Rivera
Naps
Morales
Abreu
Figgy
Aybar (yes, Aybar!!!)
Sean Rodriguez

So that makes Vladdy either our worst slugger on nights when we start this lineup.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's ALL about tonight.

If you want to include the stats from when he was injured, be my guest. I’ll include his career stats. Both have about the same amount of relevance at this moment in time. The question is how well is Vlad hitting RIGHT NOW, not how well was he hitting in April with a torn pectoral.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That is completely illogical

And if you want to compare his June stats, he is our 10th best slugger, following everyone on that list plus Izturis.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you use his June BA, he's 4th, above everyone save

Izzy, Hunter, and Figgs.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not in slugging -- he's 10th

Hunter .690
River .683
Napoli .621
Figgy .594
Izturis .588
Abreu .529
Rodriguez .500
Morales .473
Aybar .413
Vlad .407

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But in batting average he's 4th.

Fourth best hitter, hit him 4th.

We could keep saying the same things all night in two different threads I suppose.

I'm sorry to ruin your man-crush

The man can’t hit the ball out of a little league park right now. Everyone can see this but you. The numbers don’t lie. When Erick Aybar is outslugging you for the season and for the month — and when eight other guys are as well — there is a problem.

Um, so what?

Every other hitter is ahead of Vlad as well.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

So what?

Vlad’s ahead of most of them in actually HITTING. Hitting the ball to the outfield doesn’t do much if it doesn’t drop in. With a man on third or second, Vlad’s got a better chance to drive the guy in than most of the people on the team.

~Till the Halo burns out...

I'm sorry to bust your blame-fest

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not blaming Vlad for the loss

I’m saying that he should not be hitting 4th. I don’t think anyone believes that he should be. He is our worst slugger in the lineup right now. Nothing you say can change that — because it is a statistically documented fact.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And he's still one of the best hitters we have.

Nothing you can say will change the fact that he hits fourth, because fortunately for us, Mike Scioscia is smarter than we are, and knows what he’s doing.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is very loyal and patient. We will see how it plays out. The numbers speak for themselves right now though. See you next game.

He has 6 extra basehits in 120 at-bats

That is pathetic. His slugging percentage is down 200 points from his career average. Everything he hits is on the ground. Sometimes he gets singles, but he also strikes out a ton and hits into way too many rally-ending doubleplays.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 8:52 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Holy crap, you mean being injured hurts your stats? I never would have guessed...

Getting hits is step one, power comes later. And he’s getting hits right now. Vlad is not the biggest problem in this game.

If he isn't healthy

Then he shouldn’t be hitting cleanup until he proves that he is healthy and he can hit the ball out of the infield.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is healthy (now). The problem is timing. That just takes a while.

Again though, point is, he hasn’t been the problem tonight.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Striking out and hitting into a key doubleplay

are problems. That we had much bigger problems doesn’t change that fact.

And either way — if he isn’t healthy or doesn’t yet have his timing — he should not be our cleanup hitter.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Why? He's gotta play somewhere to get his ABs, and hitting him somewhere else just messes with

people’s rhythms when he gets moved back up in the lineup.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 20, 2009 9:02 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He only gets moved back up in the lineup

if he starts out-performing Rivera and Kendry. It is very likely that won’t happen. Plus, moving Ortiz down in the lineup seems to have helped him.

~Till the Halo burns out...

Look at his last two weeks

He is starting to hit the ball hard. 4 HRs in his last 13 games. I could pull his numbers if you insist.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't

But at the moment, Vlad is a groundball hitter. No one is even disputing that. He thus has no basis being a cleanup hitter for any team, let alone a good one. If he turns it around, then we can discuss at that time.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't care what kind of hitter you are as long as you GET HITS.

Other people haven’t benn doing that tonight, and are therefore more worthy of yelling about than Vlad.

He is destroying Vlad this season

In fact, even Aybar has a higher slugging percentage than Vlad.

Players in our lineup who are out-slugging Vlad:

Torii
Rivera
Napoli
Morales
Abreu
Figgins
Aybar
Sean Rodriguez

So on days when that is our starting 9, Vlad has the WORST slugging percentage of anyone in the lineup.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And yet, since coming back from injury he's hitting better than most of them.

AND he wasn’t the problem tonight.

~Till the Halo burns out...

What is your evidence of that claim?

What is Vlad’s slugging percentage compared to everyone else since coming back from injury? I would like to know.

by Brody on Jun 20, 2009 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

In fact

What you just said is false. His slugging percentage in June is actually 10th best (rather than 9th) on the team.

Vlad’s .339 is fourth for June.

he is actually hitting .290 over his last 13 games

with 4 HRs. I would jump for joy if Vlad did that.

OK great

What I said is equally true. Vlad’s season slugging % is .375. I repeat: .375. That is totally pathetic.

im not gonna complain about Vlad until his

BA goes even close to Ortiz right now im fine with him hitting 300 with out the home runs. its way better than .206 with 5 home runs

The point of discussing Ortiz

Was to note that Boston’s manager dropped Ortiz in the lineup, which made sense because they had players who were outperforming, and in addition to that it seems to have helped him.

i think Vlad will be fine

u just gotta give the power some time.
its not like the DP was a dribbler it was hit hard up the middle. it just happened that orlando hudson was playing up the middle

how the fuck is he the problem tonight

he has 2 hits. the clowns behind him that are 0-3 are the problem for not driving him in!

way to get out of it

time to face broxton

Broxton only pawn in game of life.

The opiate of the masses is spectator sports. What else explains the astounding fact that millions of seemingly intelligent human beings feel that the athletic exertions of total strangers are somehow consequential for themselves?

why?

Was Soth just waiting for the post -game spread. Couldn’t we have put S-Rod out there in lieu of Aybar.

I disagree.

it was a biggie…. we needed this win just for moral if nothing else.

by angelsfan777 on Jun 20, 2009 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

if the teams morale wasnt high enough with 7 wins in row.......

why would the 8th win made a difference?
