He could pinch hit

for Rob and I don’t think the drop off would be severe enough to matter.

Felix hit a grand slam off of Johan for heaven's sake.

I wouldn’t be so sure he isn’t a flat-out upgrade as of now.

It was just a weird moment. I’m sitting here watching the game, following the thread. And I looked at the score and just wow. I can’t believe this.

Is Ichiro in his weird popup slump right now?

He’s done it twice today and I haven’t watched a game in a week. Anyone who’s been watching have some insight?

by Double06 on Apr 16, 2010 9:13 PM PDT reply actions  

Yup.

However, he also has a 20% IFFB this season, .244 BA and .278 BABIP. His GB% is at around career averages, though, which is why I’m asking.

by Double06 on Apr 16, 2010 9:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

Small sample size. He'll be fine.

Wait til May.

by wyte_lightning on Apr 16, 2010 9:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes I'm sure of that.

I thought putting the word “slump” in my first sentence would have been clear enough but maybe I’m mistaken. In the past when Ichiro slumps, he often pops the ball up a lot.

To find another time we score 10+ runs for him. I’m not sure but I think it’s been that long.

There’s nothing wrong with pointing out random weird things that are happening in other games. Their relevancy towards your fantasy teams however does not need to be noted.

Fantasy baseball is a no no

We don’t need any Jed Latkin’s around here telling us how awesome John Dowd’s 4-5 night is for two of their 3 imaginary numbers teams.

But if Willie Bloomquist goes 4-4 with 4 home runs or Todd Wellemeyer is throwing a no hitter, well that might make for interesting conversation.
