  1. QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:57 AM) Shoulda kept bunting with Beckham. Maybe one of the two terribles would've gotten lucky with a sacfly. You really hate Nix, don't you?
  2. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:57 AM) Why the hell would you even start Josh Fields against a guy who throws 95 when you know he can't hit a fastball above 90? Ozzie is protecting Fields!!
  3. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:56 AM) This game has bad vibes to it. We have stopped hitting with runners on and the Rays can explode for quick runs. And Gavin is due for another long ball given up.
  4. Just think, we benched the Player of the Week for this. If anything, Fields should have faced Kazmir later this week, as his velocity is way down. Did Ozzie for one second think that Fields would hit Price?
  5. Nix has some pretty awful bat speed tonight. Has to be some rust from not starting in a long time.
  6. Jeez, nice play by Longoria. That's a double if it was on the pitch before.
  7. Now he's swinging away, but I hate giving up that first strike. It will be hard for him to be productive now.
  8. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:49 AM) We're bunting with Beckham? yep
  9. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:49 AM) Score's too close. f*** THE BUNT! f*** IT! Yep, especially with AJP on 2nd base
  10. Yeah, let's hope they don't give Gavin the player of the game.
  11. Ugh, that was an awful pitch on the 3-2. Sure thought Gavin had him K'd on the check swing.
  12. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:40 AM) BA has had every opportunity but he has a major hitch in his swing that prevents him from ever making consistent hard contact on a breaking pitch. It hinders him from having a good swing plane and thus he'll always have trouble, despite his pitch recognition improving in each of his professional seasons. But who's to say a fresh point of view with a new hitting coach won't help him with that hitch?
  13. QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:30 AM) So there is no reason not to have Scotty as our leadoff guy next year, right? You always have to worry about him keeping his legs healthy. If you go into next year with him in CF and Quentin in LF, you better have a good back-up
  14. I think he's a great #3 hitter and could be a multiple time all-star if he moves to 2nd base
  15. QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:25 AM) i dont think he cares one way or another if they win...but yet he does come through in the clutch You mean just like how people used to say the same about Garland and even Konerko over the past few years?
  16. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:23 AM) You can measure heart. Let me ask you this: Does Alfonso Soriano have heart? Most would say absolutely not, but he has as many clutch hits as anyone in baseball this year.
  17. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:21 AM) Im just sick of hearing it about it is all. 1 person said that this was the worst move of the KW era. Its time to move on. Well said, couldn't agree more. When you have the Nick Swisher's deal on your resume, this move is definitely no big deal.
  18. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:20 AM) When we give BA his walking papers, can we send Fields too? Hell, let's throw in Kyle McCulloch . We're getting closer to getting rid of the players that don't deserve to be on the big league roster. Fields, Wise, and Poreda are the three remaining guys.
  19. Haha, another comical AB. This is why you don't have him face a hard throwing pitcher EVER!
  20. QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) I'm fine with playing Getz vs lefties. Nix has been awesome against LHP this year.
  21. QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) I'd call that a Cal Ripken special -- no range, but a nice dive to stop the ball. Alexei simply doesn't move his feet well to his right. But he did a nice job getting the out. That was the type of play that if he misses it, we all would have been bashing him.
  22. QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) zobrist is a sox killer.... ugh As someone who missed the first few batters, I was sure it was 4-4 when I saw this post.
