QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) The decision to bat AJ 5th hurt us. Ducks on the pond in the 1st inning and we had our worst hitter up to bat. Sorry Sqwert, one hitter in the lineup isn't going to make or break this team. Ozzie knows what's going on in the locker room, so he'll make decisions based on that.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) Detroits offense is super nasty. Let's see what we do in Texas next week.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) That was a perfect bunt. If you can't get on base with a bunt like that, you should never bunt. Yeah, how dare Chone require Danks to make a perfect play. Danks hangs another pitch, and we're tied. He's off with his location so far today.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Why NOT just give Lucy some starts? What could it possibly hurt, ANYONE could match AJ's production this season Do you honestly think Ozzie would give a young bench guy playing time over one of the veterans? Truth be told, not many managers would.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Is Lucy great defensively? If so, he should play against all lefties. On second thought, that might be a bad idea. He can't hit either, can he? AJP makes Lucy looks like Johnny Bench. Nice play Danks!!

That might be the longest ball AJP's hit all season. I absolutely can't believe he's batting 5th today. Konerko's never going to get anything to hit.

Just realized that Beckham is fouling off just a ton of pitches to the right side. However, when he tries to pull the ball, he's just rolling over and hitting the ball weakly to the left side. Another game, another pathetic offensive effort so far.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Will Pierre have 10 rbi's by the all star break and 20 by the end of the year? I know, leadoff men aren't supposed to drive in runs. It would have to be 20 fielder's choice

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) The Brewers pitching is terrible. Yep, Cubs lucked out not getting Gallardo or Wolf this series.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) If Alexei and AJ looked any more lost they'd be part of the Dharma initiative We're told that the hitting coach can't help veterans, only youngsters. Well, we have our oldest hittest in AJP looking lost, as well as our youngest hitter in Beckham looking lost.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Not quite sure you can peg that horrible swing on Rios. It's just happening so often, and it's resulting in terrible swings from our hitters. And Juan, how do I hate seeing you bat with RISP!

I'm so sick of our guys trying to steal with 2 strikes. All it does is distract the hitters.

There you go Danks!

Very nice double play there, as Danks kept that slider down.

Danks has thrown more pitches up in the zone today than he did all last game against Tampa.

I cannot stand watching AJ anymore. Absolutely worthless so far this year. Quentin looks like he changed his stance, and it makes it seem even harder for him to get a hit. Ugh, another first inning where we should have gotten more runs.

Wow, that was awesome! Rios had some great swings today, and he launched that. Great to have 2 walkoffs after having none last year.

Thanks you stupid f***er down the right field line.

Cooper's biggest failure as a pitching coach is on the mound.

Jenks change-up was effective when he's use it once or twice an inning. Now, he's using it once or twice a hitter.

At this point, just free up his salary. He should have never been brought back this season.

Why didn't Santos get another inning? How many games do we have to see Jenks blow in non-save situations before Ozzie realizes it's a bad fit?

Dear Bobby Jenks: your change-up sucks! Please find your curveball, thank you. Your next team will greatly appreciate it.

Ugh, Jenks and this bullpen just continue to suck. Way to throw a change-up to Griffey when he can't hit the fastball. AJP and Ozzie can't leave soon enough.

Jenks making bad pitch after bad pitch.
