QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 8, 2011 -> 04:45 AM) Put Teahen in for Morel and a few spots higher and I like that lineup. Why suffer watching Teahen face a lefty?

Predict the lineup for tomorrow. I'm going with Lillibridge LF Ramirez SS Dunn DH Konerko 1B Quentin RF Rios CF Castro C Beckahm 2B Morel 3B

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:52 AM) I think this is the last time all season the bottom of the line-up will simultaneously be a combined 9 for 9. 14 hits in 5 2/3. You could probably go 5 years without seeing this

Fister kinda looks like Mike MacDougal

That a boy Brent! This is a crazy, crazy game.

Didn't Rios also hit that awesome walkoff against Aardsma in a game Fister started?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:46 AM) Someone want to tell me again how AJ has no power left? WTP

Beckham's having a great defensive year. Also, regardless of what Ozzie says, no doubt in my mind he has the best baseball IQ of our starting players.

Indians are legit...Royals will finish in last place

Cleveland's roughing up Weaver

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:33 AM) It should be 7-0. But it isn't. Could easily be 0-0, as nearly all of our hits have been "lucky"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:31 AM) I think that soudns like the whole team, they see a runner on and they want to be the hero. I've noticed it cause Alexei's been very patient at the plate, but once a runner gets on, he's swinging at everything.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:30 AM) Seriously, wtf Alexei. He's making me sick. I'm ready for Rios to bat 2nd. Hell, Morel could bat 2nd and he'd be the greatest hit and run artist ever.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:29 AM) Whatchu talkin' about Willis? I call first to second to third then home station to station. Yes! He got hit! This inning is station to station, but reason we didn't score runs earlier was due to bad base running and not lack of ability to score from 2nd on a single, etc.

Alexei seems extra impatient with runners on lately. Terrible ABs for him the last few nights.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) OK three singles, crowd is restless. Station to station baseball. Can we score some runs? Cmon boys. How can we have 10 hits and one run???? This is anything but station to station baseball

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) It will take real skill to f*** this up. How will it go down? 1-2-3 DP, and then Alexei hit a rocket that Milton makes a great catch

Haha, this is insane

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:20 AM) Based on Beckham turning on a fastball and pulling it down the left-field line against Felix in the 8th and his first AB in this game, two consecutive hits FEELS like progress. What else do we have? His double last night was pretty, but his first AB tonight was ugly. I know it resulted in a hit, but it was the same bad mechanics that's caused him to struggle.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:17 AM) Except for the position he's playing, yes, he's playing like last year's Kotsay. I still expect him to pick it up from here, he started like this last year too No salary drive this year. And I saw you say this yesterday, but would you really rather have AJP than Barajas? At least Barajas provides some pop.

Very nice 3-2 change-up to Smoak.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2011 -> 03:14 AM) Aj was always at his best when every other at bat he'd flip the ball over the SS for a single, not on a line, just a near-bloop. You can see signs of AJ fading into becoming an even worse hitter than usual. His bat speed has diminished, and his power's gone with it. In the past, he had enough strength to hit it over the left fielders head. Now, even if he makes good contact to left field, it's playable for the outfield. When he tries to pull the ball, he's not quick enough to avoid rolling over on the pitch. It's what we saw the first few months last year until he finished up strong.

AJP is absolutely pathetic. I'm going to start calling him DFAjp

Wow, Quentin got dominated there.

I don't know what the heck is up with all these weak pop ups to left by Dunn.
