April 11, 200719 yr Author Cody can't hit righties anyway thats why it's a platoon Borchard can't hit anyone. Ross vs righties: .202/.271/.311 over the last 3 seasons (183AB) 2006: .216/.289/.335 Borch vs righties: .231/.319/.429 over the last 3 seasons (294AB) 2006: .258/.353/.449 :thumbup Since when was hitting .231 or getting on base at a .319 clip acceptable? It's better than Ross, sure, but it's still absolutely horrible. You make it sound like Ross is atrocious against righties and Borchard is worlds above him, when in fact he is MAYBE a tick ahead atrocious to horrible.
April 11, 200719 yr Since when was getting on base at a .319 clip acceptable? I don't know. Ask Pierre, Gonzalez, Encarnacion and Olivo

You make it sound like Ross is atrocious against righties and Borchard is worlds above him, when in fact he is MAYBE a tick ahead atrocious to horrible. He is above him in all 3 categories and he kills him in slugging and not to mention how big of a difference there was last season
April 11, 200719 yr Since when was getting on base at a .319 clip acceptable? I don't know. Ask Pierre, Gonzalez, Encarnacion and Olivo There is only one problem....all of those players are good at defense. Borchard is awful at D as well. I'll continue to say it....the guy is not good in all facets of the game. Marlins could have lost that game last night if Borchard was in right field instead of Ross.
April 11, 200719 yr Borchard's terrible....waive him....cut him.....get rid of him.....banish him to uzebekistan......he has no worth.
April 11, 200719 yr Borchard's terrible....waive him....cut him.....get rid of him.....banish him to uzebekistan......he has no worth. There's only one player that deserves to hear that, and everyone knows who that is. I personally like Borchard as a platoon player, him and Ross look just fine platooning in RF. But obviously i rather have Hermida, can't wait to see what he does when he returns back to the lineup.
April 11, 200719 yr Borchard has looked terrible so far this season. I think we'll end up with a Cody / Jeremy platoon in RF once Jeremy comes back.
April 11, 200719 yr well coming into tonight he had a near .400 OBP the power will come Screw the power, I just want him to make contact. Not only does he look awful when he swings, his judgement has looked horrible tonight. Vargas has made everyone look horrible tonight No, Vandenhurk has made everyone not named fielder look silly. Vargas is just hitting his spots. He isn't fooling anyone but Amezega and Borchard, really. :banghead Vargas was filthy last night. It wasn't just Burchard and Amezaga, he was fooling everyone.

Again I reiterate. The strike zone was huge for everyone last night, which is why there were a lot of Ks all around. Vargas pitched well but when everything is being called a strike you have to swing at anything even in the vicinity of homeplate. Which causes people to look bad at the plate.
April 11, 200719 yr Borch is a solid backup. and should never be more than a backup Unless our starter is hurt and we don't have a bench full of outfielders.

On the downside, Borchard looked like garbage and struck out three times.
April 11, 200719 yr Can Amezaga play right? It would be nice to have him and Hanley in the starting lineup.

I'll continue to say it....the guy is not good in all facets of the game. Marlins could have lost that game last night if Borchard was in right field instead of Ross. Thanks for making my point. What they had was that they were good at something else, whether that be defense (Gonzalez), strong arm (Olivo), speed (Pierre) or a set of tools (Encarnacion). Borchard can bring a powerful bat. You can't measure a player on one or a handful of things, whether they be defense or speed or the ability to get on base. Even as people debate which is more important, they agree on this. Well, all except you.
April 11, 200719 yr well coming into tonight he had a near .400 OBP the power will come He isn't good. 0-3, 3 Ks.....He will be out of the majors by next year like I said. well coming into tonight he had a near .400 OBP the power will come Screw the power, I just want him to make contact. Not only does he look awful when he swings, his judgement has looked horrible tonight. Vargas has made everyone look horrible tonight 0-3 with 3 Ks.....when will you stop making excuses for him Ramp? He is NOT good. He can barely hit .200. FLMAO! Your posts crack me up WMM! 0-3 with 3 Ks.....when will you stop making excuses for him Ramp? He is NOT good. He can barely hit .200. And then I see your sig.. :blink:
