DJ mentioned it, but I wouldn't be shocked with a squeeze play. Of cousre infield is playing in.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) I thought we were going to get lucky there and having a pitcher's throwing error. I was thinking the same thing. He looked to 3rd for a little longer than expected and I was thinking he'd have to rush the throw.

Not a fan of this move...I'd have had Ozuna up regardless since he's a superior contact hitter to that of Pods and we need some contact to get that runner home.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) He has his best offspeed pitches of the year, besides for the inning in which he allowed a run. What was critical for him was keeping them to only one run that inning. It also helped that when he threw the FB it was as hard as 90-91 and for the most part was 88 or higher.

Juanita with a leadoff double. Now its time for BA to get that bunt down.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) 7 IP 1ER.... Great day for the defense. Defense played good behind Freddy, but he helped himself out with that by throwing strikes and making good pitches. Overall a very good outing by Freddy.

Bouncer to Crede...game tied going into the bottom of the 7th

Come on Frederico...get out of this inning scoreless.

IBB to Sarge Jr. A talented kid in Kinsler will be up.

QUOTE(valponick @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) Should have been a DP. ???? They had a runner on 2nd, not one on 1st.

I'd have really liked to see that 1-2 pitch being a fastball that busted Barajas in to set up another breaking ball down and away. Instead a real good brekaing ball and Uribe throws him out. Runner advances to 3rd.

Alright Freddy...get er done and get through this inning. Just wanted to point out for those of you that are like me and aren't major scoreboard watchers, but the Tigers lost today to the A's.

QUOTE(valponick @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Disgusting by Juan. Juan had no chance at that. Now maybe he fielded it with his glove at the wrong spot, but thats about all I know.

Wilkerson gets a double on some hustle. He'd have been gone but an in between hop on the throw from Anderson who did his best to get things in quickly.

Real nice 2-1 changeup right there that had Wilkerson way out in front of it.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) It's pretty clear that the HR came from Jason's avatar change. Ya, it was almost identical I had just uploaded it and I turned to watch it.

Bleh

1-1 Paulie GOES YARD

Blalock with a 2 out single past Guchi. What a great play by Paulie though with 1 out.

1 pitch 1 out...Young flies out to Dye

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) Unbelievable, if your having trouble hitting the guy and you have speed and can bunt I see no harm in this. Hell, just look what a bunt did to Buehrle's game. Kinsler or whomever it was had a little squibber and all of a sudden there were two on in that first inning and the rest is history. THOME sucks against LHP and with our top of the ordre against lefties we are usually in trouble. Oh well, Freddy is just gonna have to pitch awesome and for once pick up the offense.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) Great....2 outs made by bunts, with 1 out, tonight!!! That's smart baseball. Unbelievable, if your having trouble hitting the guy and you have speed and can bunt I see no harm in this.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) That really was the worst bunt I have seen in a long time About a foot to the left nad he's safe.

Koronka's FB is just really sneaking up on guys. Its got to be a combo of his changeup really working and his FB velocity being a bit up from the last time he was against the Sox.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) He was off yesterday too. Do you know if he was he hurting at all? No, but I haven't asked. I got an email into the media guy in Charlotte about something else, so when he gets back to me about that I'll ask him about Fields. Wow, high strike just called on BA. SHould be 3-1. Instead its 2-2. Thats alright, start this inning off right BA
