That was an excellent job by Richard and Pods to limit the damage.

Richard has to mix it up, as these hitters have seen that inside fastball a lot from him tonight.

Richard has to limit the damage here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 01:06 AM) I was doing the math a bit yesterday. Since he got past that first 30 at bats or so, Beckhams had about 125 AB's. In that time he's put up a nearly .900 OPS, but in terms of his long term development, he's put up 4 home runs and 12 doubles. The leaders in the league have about 32 doubles right now and have 375ish at bats. Do a simple linear projection, and that would be 12 home runs and 36 doubles for Beckham at this stage and at that same number of at bats. I know it never holds like that, but the point is; at his current rate of doubles he'd be leading the league. That suggests to me there's a lot of room for growth of some serious power if a few more of those doubles start leaving ballparks when he's no longer a 23 year old. Good stuff...I made a mention in chat that his line drives are starting to go a lot farther.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) i thought so as well....oh well if he keeps getting away with it why stop using it? Yep, if you can get away with it 50 pct of the time, why not keep doing it? It's a much higher percentage than if we try to throw them out stealing.

After CQ grounds out, we get to have fun and watch the heart of the order

That sure looked like a balk by Clayton

Wow, Clayton made a good defensive play!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 12:51 AM) Holy crap, some power appeared while I was working. I was almost scared to check. Getz and Alexei just missed home runs foul also

Good job not letting them back in the game so far.

Richard doesn't have that 96 mph fastball going for him so far.

STUD!

Hopefully our offense can keep up the pressure tonight. Time for the heart of the order.

Is it too early to pull Quentin for defensive reasons? Please let this be the good Clayton Richard.

Mercy, Konerko with an extremely long fly ball that goes way out!!

That was a productive easy double play ball!!

Sox desperately have to avoid the double play tonight.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) Wade LOVES being home fathom. I'm not sure what has lead you to believe otherwise. I've said it before...Wade's family is telling anyone that will listen that he will not be signing with Chicago this offseason. The Bulls don't want him and Rose in the backcourt together, and they have let him know that.

I wouldn't give up Kershaw for Lee AND Martinez.

Sounds like there's nothing to this rumor

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) You'd be selling really low. Although I don't see how Arizona can refuse him. They were already wrong on him once. And that's why I say if the value is good

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) Let's get a big crowd tonight. I'm game

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) If they get Odom, Wade will stay. If they do, Bulls are going to be left out in the cold and end up with Joe Johnson at best. It's Bosh or Amare for the Bulls after this season. Wade is not coming to Chicago!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) Quentin for Haren? I'd have no problem giving him up for the right player, as long as it's not a rental.

Gulp...if the value is good, I'd consider trading Quentin.
