June 18, 200422 yr All the haters, the Sea Bass is so hot now that he gets intentionally walked :-) :lol He's been hot the past few weeks, uh? His avg. is up to .252, and that's what most of us consider his batting "prime". Anything he gives us over .250 is icing for the cake.
June 18, 200422 yr YUP! AGon is doing great! He is showing a lot of power also. He has 8 home runs so far and he is batting .252! If he continues hitting this good he might have a shot at reaching .300....

If he continues hitting this good he might have a shot at reaching .300.... dont get carried away if he wouldnt have been ice cold at the beg. of the season and he would have started off the season like he is now than he would have an BA over 300...so its nit such a big deal and its not impossible agon dosent get any respect for his hitting and even now a lot of people are surprised that he is hitting 252, they can also be surprised and see him reach 300.. it could happen
June 18, 200422 yr Of course, he was only intentionally walked to get to the pitcher's spot... FREE NATE FROM WHAT?! And yeah, it's not like he was given the Bonds treatment. The only reason they walked him was to get to the pitcher.
June 18, 200422 yr well, last year he started HOT...then tailed off big time this year lets hope its the reverse I think he can surpass his HR and RBI total from last year.....let me check i know he had 18 bombs
June 18, 200422 yr It's nice to see Alex walk at all. He has been amazingly on fire and I totally love it. If his offense ever caught up with his defense, hell even went near it, he would be a MAJOR player and everyone would know who he is.
June 18, 200422 yr I've always said that this team would not be the same without Alex Gonzalez. I know at times he slumps so bad, it's like having two pitcher spots, but if he can keep his average around .255/.260, I would be extremely happy....His defense alone is a reason to keep him around though. He was robbed of a Gold Glove last year. And I hate being negative, but even Ramon Castro was intentionally walked earlier this year to get to the pitcher. That's not a good sign of how well a hitter is doing....Alex is on fire though and I hope he keeps it up.
June 18, 200422 yr okay....last year he had 18 bombs and 77 rbi batted .256 and slugged .443 right now he has 8 bombs and 26 rbi.....he should pass his HR total easily (knock on wood) as he is hitting HRs more consistently it seems rather than on streaks......he has 22 games before the all star break to get 14 rbis...that would give him half of 77. That may be tough if the offense continues to be inconsistent..... it seems that sea bass isnt getting as many rbis but i attribute that to a weaker offense since Sea bass is hitting very well with RISP. His avg. ans slug. is right on with what it was last year......I think he can improve on both...i dont think it would be unfair to want .260 out of Alex, considering that is a small difference from .250 hits wise. We all know he doesnt walk so no point looking at OBP anyway, looks like alex is improving :thumbup ,
June 18, 200422 yr And (just as important, perhaps) we actually see him smile in the dugout on occasion. As Yogi might say, half the battle is 90% attitude! Play ball / have fun / win games.
June 18, 200422 yr i would be happy wit the same numbers from last year but i think he will get a little less rbi's and like 2 or 3 more homers
June 18, 200422 yr Batting average with June half over: April - .182 May - .253 June - .372 hes getting better as time goes on... :thumbup
June 19, 200422 yr Batting average with June half over: April - .182 May - .253 June - .372 hes getting better as time goes on... :thumbup well history shows he'll probably lose it at some point as well... but hopefully they can ride him out for as long as possible.
