August 13, 201214 yr Last 10 games. 37 ABs .108 avg. 0 HRs. 5 wlks, 15 SOs. Flirting with the Mendoza line for the season at .203. Sox remain in 1st barely, despite the Donkey's recent slump. I posted that he was the 1st to 30 HRs on July 25th. He now stands at 31. Classic Adam Dunn...
August 13, 201214 yr I was an Adam Dunn fan when he was with the Reds, he was fun to watch and he gave great interviews. But he is who we thought he was, Dave Kingman/Rob Deer.
August 13, 201214 yr Author I was an Adam Dunn fan when he was with the Reds, he was fun to watch and he gave great interviews. But he is who we thought he was, Dave Kingman/Rob Deer. For the most part, except Dunn's OPS is 100 points higher than either of them.
August 13, 201214 yr For the most part, except Dunn's OPS is 100 points higher than either of them. See there you go letting the facts get in the way. All are big, hit dingers, and swing and miss a bunch.
August 13, 201214 yr Author See there you go letting the facts get in the way. All are big, hit dingers, and swing and miss a bunch. Actually, that is more about Dunn's on base percentage. Yes, he strikes out a lot but he walks a lot also. Even though his average is always low, his OBP is excellent. His career OBP is .371. That puts him at #25 among active players, right next to Ryan Braun, ahead of players like Mark Teixeria and Ichiro Suzuki. You could probably win bets asking people who has a higher career OBP - Dunn or Ichiro.
August 13, 201214 yr I'll take old or new Adam Dunn over Ryan Ludwick any day of the week I'd take Ludwick and his salary and production for this year.

August 14, 201214 yr Dunn hit #398 in the 9th tonight to tie it up in Toronto. He hit #397 earlier in the game.

August 14, 201214 yr Tied for 52nd All Time. That last 2-run homer gives him 1,000 RBI. .337 OBP makes up a bit for his low avg.

Both were solo shots. Sox lost 3-2. Does that mean he still only has 999, or do the 2 RBI tonight give him 1,000?
