QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:12 PM) Wait. Wait. Wait. Are you going to tell me that our hitters are trying to pull everything against a guy who throws off-speed pitches? No way. That's weird. Alexei and Thome had almost the same exact approach on the 3-2 pitch.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) low strike He's called that fastball a strike for Garcia all game.

Nice to see Alexei take the 3-1 fastball that was a strike and swing at the 3-2 offspeed pitch that was a ball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) Freddie is pitching well enough to sign him next year; hope he doesn't cost us today. I hate watching him pitch....I don't want him anywhere near this roster.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:05 PM) How about when the twins radio crew were talking about how the Sox batting pratice is like a glorified home run contest. Most teams work on their batting, hitting to the right side, and then bunting. Yet our guys are trying to see how far they can hit it. It's true, even Hawk/DJ refer to it.

Keep pulling that pitch into the shift Jimmy.

The Minnesota coach who said that Thome has lost his bat speed is so correct.

Gavin got some great movement on those two outs that inning.

Tigers are going to start blasting the ball if he can't get his fastball over.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) Wise definitely is an automatic out unless they walk him. I didn't like Freddie's grin. I think he knows he's got us. No, I think he knows he got away with some massive hangers.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:52 PM) can we put Swish in right now? I remembered why Wise is playing over Swisher. Ozzie said he won't play Swisher in LF the rest of the season if Griffey is playing in CF.

6 pitch inning. Dye at least put a good swing on that pitch.

3 pitches, 2 outs. The White Sox are the worst hitting hanging breaking ball team I've ever seen.

Big pitch! Need some breathing room!

Don't worry about the runner. Gavin doesn't have command of his fastball today. It's going to be up to his offspeed stuff.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:43 PM) Stone is talking about how we pitch directly opposite to our defense setup. That was very obvious during the Twins series.

Damn, that 1-2 pitch to Santiago has been a strike for Garcia.

The NL ROY will be Soto

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:37 PM) Looks much better this inning. That Thome 3-2 pitch was so big for him.

Weak stuff by our offense. Alexei used to be so much fun to watch hit....now, it's a guaranteed pop up to the right side.

Paul Sullivan and Mark Gonzales = faces for newspaper

There we go...get us started Alexei.

So why would the Tigers even risk Galarraga today? Seems like pitching a young starting pitcher in a relief appearance for a pointless game is just stupid.

Our 1600 homer guys can't do anything against batting practice pitching.

Ugh, Thome is just worthless right now.
