April loaded or not jones still has a .876 ops with good RISP numbers to boot

Again I don’t care if we DFA him tomorrow to call up Smoak I just don’t like people treating it like hes been a total failure. Players go on streaks, thats how it works.

Andruw's April streak really only lasted three games.

He’s had a good game tonight, though. I guess is Wash is gonna keep batting his carcass cleanup the least we can hope for is for it to reanimate itself.

Look, the point was that the sum of his efforts thus far is a .876 ops.

And no twisting of numbers can make that a terrible performance on the year. It can suggest that he will be bad the rest of the way and we should have no fears in getting rid of him.. which Im fine with. Thats not the point I was addressing.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DShep on Jul 4, 2009 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's basically what I'm trying to say.

We got good things out of him in April, yay. He’s sucked since then though, and considering how bad he was last year, there’s no reason to give him anymore leash than he needs to hang himself.

He’s a right-handed DH who hasn’t done what he was brought here to do, which is hit lefties. I just don’t understand why he needs to be given chances to stick around.

No its not that bad. Its below average but its not a total failure that you

characterize it as by dragging it down with junes horrible numbers.
The fact is that he has not hurt the team this year. Noone is suggesting we sign him to a 5 year contract.

As for chances to stick around….. have we been doing that? Who has he been blocking?

Its amazing

how only 3 games have levitated his entire season to an 876 OPS.

go team go!

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Meh at the opposite field stuff

he has ALWAYS been a dead pull hitter and its never been a big deal until now he goes into a big slump.

now taking a HR uppercut swing at everything.. that may be a real issue.
