Thornton for Heyward?

Wow, like a cat J.J.!

Wow, that pitch to Prado was a blatant strike

Nice job by CQ of running to the spot. Dye would have been running like a fool with his glove out there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:35 AM) I think if he ran against Chavez today he could become presidente. Who doesn't love Omar? JOSE MESA

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:34 AM) I'd go Putz or Santos with the number of righties they have stacked in their lineup tonight. I forgot that Ross is catching and not their DH...Santos for two, and then Thornton?

Who goes in for the 7th? I'd put in Thornton and hope he can perform well for 5 hitters.

I'll repeat, do a hit-and-run with Rios at the plate

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:28 AM) Typical Buehrle. 2 outs in the 9th, 5-3 Brewers lead, tying run coming to the plate after Mauer RBI double off Axford. Does Mauer ever make an out in the 9th inning?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:27 AM) lol. that would be great. It would explain why greg always writes only a few words per line...he's used to filling out a lineup card

Yes sir! No idea how he did it. You HAVE to go to the pen to start the 7th.

Hey, Beckham made the play!! Please prove me wrong Buehrle/Ozzie!

Can't believe they're leaving Buehrle in.

Walk him, and bring in Santos. You can't let Buehrle face Cabrera.

Should have thrown that cutter he was throwing to Heyward. Really bad pitch to McCann, who crushes fastballs.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:19 AM) I cut him some slack - he's young, he's changed positions twice, he had a great rookie season and now he's taking his lumps. He'll come out of it. People make way too big a deal about position changes. He switched to the easiest position on the field. Sure, maybe if it happened mid-year, I could see issues. And ginger, I've made more excuses for Beckham than anyone. When we weren't contending, his worthlessness was more acceptable. Now that we're contending, it's not!

Jeez, this umpire has sucked big time.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:16 AM) i agree he could benefit from a stint in charlotte but what do you think he is long term. is this just a blip on his way to stardom like we all expected after last year. or is he gonna end up being another disapointment? I'm not sure, more than anything else, his lack of power really worries me. The ball just isn't jumping off of his bat.

Might want to stop throwing them anything good on the first pitch.

Why can't it rain?

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:14 AM) His strikeout swing looks like he is bailing in an effort to get back to the dugout quickly. His swing is like 5 parts right now...I can't believe they continue to let him try this terrible approach. Everything is flailing every possible direction.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:13 AM) I think Gordon will have a strong second half Hopefully Flowers and Morel provide him a lot of protection down in AAA

Wow, they're actually booing him. What a flop this season.

Beckham continues to fail to do anything productive, and boy oh boy, is Alexei a terrible base runner.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:08 AM) Ubaldo Jimenez's ERA skyrockets to 1.60 after allowing 6 ER today. His WHIP isn't all that impressive given his ERA: 1.04 Strasburg's stuff makes Jimenez look like Josh Fogg
