QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 05:09 AM) Ha! Nice. My wife actually probably looks better than she did in college! But no kids. But I digress. It is just frustrating to see him struggle so bad when he had such great bat control last season. I could see AAA working and I like the Aviles comparison. While Beckham may have more raw talent, Aviles had a real live bat his rookie season, then struggled and was sent to AAA. He seems to have fixed his swing and has played well this season. Maybe Beckham could figure it out in AAA? There's no harm in sending him down. If he goes to AAA and turns it around, then great. If he goes there and sucks..and continues to suck....then you realize his rookie year was on par with Josh Fields and Caruso.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 05:08 AM) Mariners are up 6-1 on Cubs with 10 hits, 3 of which are infield singles, 6 shallow singles to the OF and one bloop double. Lee seems to be putting them to sleep. They need to fire Piniella, they are completely reflecting his "what can we do?" attitude.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:06 AM) Maybe we should name Alex Rios Gordon's new hitting coach? Alex Gordon's middle name is Rios? Strange

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 05:03 AM) Has anyone in the organization tried to look at video on Beckham from last year compared to this year? I mean it has to be more than mental approach at this point. Why go through the pain? That's like going back and looking at pictures of your wife when she was in college, and then comparing them to how she looks after having a child.

Please, please score more runs so Jenks won't blow this game!!

Not sure how he missed that, but we'll take it!

The only problem with playing Viciedo at 3rd is you're going to hurt our defense, and that's something that's really carrying us right now.

McCann takes some mighty swings...thought that was gone off the bat.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:58 AM) just going to throw this out there, would anyone trade beckham for alex gordon? no

Wow, he's just not locked in right now with his release. Please don't miss low to McCann.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:55 AM) his average is now sub mendoza line And it's the softest sub mendoza batting average imaginable

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:54 AM) I'd wager we won't be seeing Beckham up here much longer after tonight. He better not be starting tomorrow.

Beckham's approach at the plate is terrible. His hands and bat speed couldn't even hit with an aluminum bat right now.

SHOCKER!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:52 AM) Still time for a Lillibomb tonight. Awesome

Beckham's swing starting to look like that of Aviles, with the bat in all sorts of weird angles behind him.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:50 AM) Joining the game late again...how did Buehrle look? Honestly...awful, but he made good pitches when he needed to.

Chances of an Alexei caught stealing are like 85%. How about an RBI gapper?

How is it Alexei has the best eye of anyone tonight?

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:47 AM) Been a while since I've felt that every pitch thrown to this guy might land in the seats over there yonder. Great feeling. Agreed, thought that when they were setting up inside the pitches prior to the bomb.

Let's get another run and bring in Randy and Scott

I miss that guy! It's not too late to name my son Quentin!

33-4 k/bb ratio

Wow, Giambi with a walkoff against Papelboner

NASTY!
