Raise your hand if you put your head down on that swing?

Wow, I thought he hit that 450 feet. BTW, use two hands Nix.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) ozzie can only do so much with the hitters.. You can look at video, see research, try pump them up by bringing up likes of beckham energize ball park and what not. I really dont know what you can do with team like that. How about a hit-and-run with Getz on 1st and a pull-happy hitter up to the plate?

Ugh....Hafner up in a position to do a lot of damage. Can't believe they didn't throw a curve in that last AB.

Needs to throw a good curveball here on 3-2.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) gotta charge that ball brian He did a good job at getting into throwing position.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) can you blame ozzie? nothing he can do about situation with the way this team has been playing. Well, if he's telling his players to have fun, then he might not want to act like he's at a funeral.

Gavin getting into trouble. 2 on, 1 out. Choo's a very scary hitter in this situation.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) Ozzie not a happy camper. Good observation, seemed very down.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Can we please get BA out of here. I mean seriously Are you watching on TV? They showed the hole between 1st and 2nd, and it was gigantic.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) anderson isnt a bad fourth outfielder. Doesn't need be demotoed, just need eveyrday cf But if he can't hit LHP, he's not going to help out very much. Between CQ/Pods/Dye, you're looking at a guaranteed number of starts due to injuries the rest of this year. We need better than BA.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) and play who in CF? Alexei? and with who as a back up? Sorry, when Quentin returns...and Pods goes to CF.

Wow, what a terrible player. There's a huge hole between 1b and 2b, and Anderson's pulling the low and away pitch. I'm beginning to hope we demote him soon and just DFA Wise. Go find a back-up outfielder...there's better ones playing for Newark in the Atlantic League.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) This is the Floyd I love. To those watching: Is Gavin switching up the sequence of his pitches and finishing with the curve, or is he overpowering with his fastball? Everything with his curve.

Lets break this game open, and give Floyd some breathing room.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:10 PM) actually, doesn't it only make sense to use stretch prematurely? he's asking the ball to stretch - go further - so... for an obvious HR it'd be silly to say it. Anyway, I think that's Hawk's logic these days. He doesn't tend to say stretch anymore on actual HRs Yes, but stretch on a ball that is 5 feet from the warning track is insulting to the fans. People watching on TV can't tell the trajectory of the ball and if it's off the bat...and I guess Hawk can't either.

Wow, Garko should get his ACLs checked after that one.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care about a home run call. It's a home run for your team, who cares what the announcer says! What I do hate is the premature stretch by Hawk.

Ozzie needs to manage wisely against the Tigers next week. You can't play Fields against the likes of Verlander and Jackson, as he won't hit their fastball. However, he needs to be in the lineup against Dontrelle.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) Well, Beckham is now gonna ride the bench in favor if Getz/Nix at 2B. f***ing AWESOME! No he won't. KW will make sure of it. Be happy for Fields.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) heh way to reverse jinx it.....gordon who? You know we've talked about it...Fields getting it going would be great, as Beckham really should be our 2nd baseman of the future.

FIELDS! He blasted that.

If not for the 2nd base umpire, we'd be scoreless again today. Just pathetic at bats by the Sox hitters.

Alexei just can't get the barrel on anything now.

Sowers is just a terrible, terrible pitcher. Anderson got a great pitch to hit, but once again, tried too hard to pull the ball.
