Taking strikes, swinging at balls...good approach

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:43 AM) Can't tell if that was a run and hit or not, but that was a terrible, protect-like swing by Viciedo. And an even worse swing on the full count. Our hitters need to realize he's going to throw change-ups on the 3-2 pitch

Gotta make contact here Tank

QUOTE (kapzk @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) 2-0 Angels Excellent!

Balta, where's Flowers against the soft tossing LHP?

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:35 AM) Everything looks up in the zone with little movement Kinda looks like he did last year

Jeez Peavy...his stuff looks awful tonight. Doesn't seem like he's finishing his pitches well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 01:31 AM) I think Matsuzaka's contract ends this year too, as does Ortiz. The only big salary they'll have left is what, Lester? I read on MLBtraderumors comments that they had 100 million, but by no means was that official. I also love the comment I saw on twitter that Magic Johnson is more popular than Larry Bird in Boston today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) Wow. Someone tell me how much that clears from Boston's payroll. It has to be nearly $60 million next year right? Yes, and isn't Ellsbury also a FA? I wouldn't be shocked if they go after Hamilton. The Dodgers seemed like the best fit, but now they might not have room. I also think this move could have a big impact on Peavy's opportunities.

DUNN! He woke up this thread.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) Come on Anaheim. What the f***. Score of this bum. 2 on, 2 outs for Trout, and he grounds out...0-3 for Trout tonight

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 12:54 AM) And a f***ing stupid one by LAD. Yes, what a waste of money to only upgrade at the 1B spot.

After scoring 14 runs last night, Angels have 0 in 3 innings off of Porcello.

If true, it's a brilliant move by the Red Sox. It gives them so much money to use in free agency this offseason. Crawford was an awful fit in Boston from day one.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) Freep Tigers ‏@freeptigers Tigers lineup: Miguel Cabrera to DH for opener tonight vs. Angels And no Pujols for the Angels

Of course...they are so tough to beat at home. They played pretty awful and still swept the Blue Jays.

Ugh, Jenkins in instead of Delabar. He hasn't pitched in a big situation yet in his career.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) Would love to see this go 17+ innings and burn through Detroit's bullpen. Baltimore probably wouldn't mind either, since they get Toronto next. But Sox fans should be rooting for Toronto to beat Baltimore. Tigers bullpen not in horrible shape this week due to lenghty outings by all their starting pitchers.

Ugh, hate when LOOGYs face righties.

Too bad they used Oliver and not Loup in the 8th.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) Jackson definitely saved them this game there. Running catch?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Threat over. Next inning is their best chance, they just have to hold the Tigers down here

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Can't believe that play by Jackson. CRAP. What happened?

Is it true that coming into last night's game, 10 of the last 12 hits Benoit had allowed were homers?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 07:37 PM) Brad Lincoln is in. Ugh. Where is Steve Delabar? Pitched last night
