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.

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.

Nice play...PK barely scooped that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:12 AM) If your marginal at your job and you have a s***ty attitude, your not going to stick around. I dont know why people cant seem to grasp that Anderson must have been a complete tool. Or I guess the alternative that Ozzie for no explainable reason dislikes BA and is sabotaging his own team just to kill Anderson's career. Im going to guess the former as opposed to the later. Or maybe stuff has happened off the field over the years with BA that Ozzie had an issue with?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) Without Thome playing, wouldn't it have made a ton of sense to DH Quentin, put Pods in LF, and put BA in center? I mean, BA hits lefties well. Have you looked at BA's stats against LHP this year?

An absolutely beautiful swing!!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) Power? More homers than Upton so far.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) oooh... Good call. How about Matt Kemp? Another person that's just a tool.

Hell, Jason Bartlett is more of a 5 tool player this year than Upton.

Nicely done by Alexei. It's amazing what not bunting can do.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:56 AM) His brother. Except he can't field for s***, as he drops more fly balls than anyone besides Soriano.

Pods blasted that one for a double. Do not bunt here!!

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) Is there a more complete 5 tool player in baseball than BJ Upton? Pujols (considering his steals)

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:50 AM) ughh i hate the top of their order.... This lineup is extremely impressive

Haha, Fields is just comical at the plate. Price looks to have found his release point.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) yeah he seemed to just shut down beckham that AB no chance at all Gotta find a way to get his pitch count up so he can only go 5 innings.

Price seems to be throwing extremely hard now.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:40 AM) im surprised they are giving fields an AB i cant remember the last one he's gotten...prolly a K so i doubt i was missing anything I don't like him in the lineup against a pitcher who can throw mid-90s.

There we go, much better curve.

Gavin's going to get crushed tonight if he keeps falling behind hitters and can't find his curve. Tampa can destroy a fastball.

This ump is giving these pitchers nothing!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:34 AM) Guess you don't need that little blue pill anymore, eh? No, but I already asked my wife if she wanted Sprite to drink tonight.

I love that we have two players in the lineup, Quentin and Beckham, that bring such an excitement to me in watching them bat.

Time to pull him for defensive purposes.
