Adam Dunn can pretty much only hit home runs. It's all or nothing with that guy, home run, or strike out. Too many drivers out here like that. They only want the home runs, not realizing (or caring) that it's the singles and doubles that wins games. The Reds, for example, have led the league, and in a few cases the Majors, in home runs over the last several years, and they still stink. They don't win, they have a losing record over the last 15 years. Home runs feel good, chicks dig the long ball, but they don't win.
While you're sitting back waiting for the home runs to come, the other team is scoring a run here, a run there, and pretty soon you're down 9-0. It's usually at that point that Adam Dunn will let one rip, and girls go ga-ga, men comment about how good he is, all the while he's hitting 219 when it matters, with runners in scoring position and two outs.
It's amazing how often Adam Dunn will strike out with RISP in the early innings in a close game, but then in the 8th or 9th inning after the game is pretty much decided, he'll crank a solo shot 480 feet and people think he's a baseball god instead of the one-trick pony that he is. He's the quintessential cherry picker who feels good about only hitting the home run.
I think Dunn needs to go to Saskatoon.
Or maybe Toronto. <snicker>
