No one looks worse against hanging offspeed pitches than Iguchi. I really hope we get a new 2nd baseman this offseason.

Iguchi is the last man we want up there with RISP.

Way to protect AJ....yuck.

PK drops the head of the bat on that one. Get him in AJP.

Mercy, these middle of the order guys have no bat speed.

Hell, put on the hit-and-run with Dye up.

Much better turn by Iguchi.

Have we ever had four straight hitters in our lineup with less power than Cintron, Sweeney, Erstad, and Ozuna?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 9, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) He has to be hurt. I know he had elbow surgery this off-season. This offense has been bad, and Cintron has never been a "quality" bat, but some of the swings from him have been embarrassing. Something can't be right with him. There's no strength in his swing. It's not a stretch to say he's only hit one ball over 200 feet this year.

One of these days, I want to see a hit-and-run with the guys who hit mostly grounders (Erstad, Mackowiak, Cintron, Ozuna).

Good grief....get Uribe back in the lineup.

That a boy Joe!

So, I just heard the dumbest thing ever: on the Cubs broadcast, the announcers quoted Mike Murphy as saying that their game on Sunday was the best managed game he's ever seen. Well, by my calculations, if Cordero hadn't blown that game, the Nationals would have scored the winning runs in the 7th inning when Pinella brought in Howry to face Dmitri Young instead of letting him face a lefty reliever. In very limited ABs this year, Young's been a little better than vs lefties than righties, but his recent seasons have shown he's much, much more dangerous vs RHP. Last year, his OPS was nearly double against RHP, and he has like a 120-40 homer split vs RHP/LHP. I know this isn't about the Sox, but just wanted to show it's not only Hawk I pick on for idiotic comments.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ May 9, 2007 -> 12:36 AM) I was hoping sunday would have been the spark this offense needed. So far it doesn't look that way. But then again we are facing CY BONSER. Those two wins meant Ozzie would keep trotting out the lineup with Ozuna batting 2nd.

Good idea to throw the 2-0 fastball to Morneau. That might be enough for Boof.

So Iguchi can't hit the fastball or slider now? I hope his bat speed picks up soon.

Stay hot O

Ha, nice uppercut swing by AJP.

Good job Javy

Nice play by Crede!

Javy's fastball is tailing back over the plate a ton right now. That's when guys light him up. Worried if he keeps throwing that fastball....might end up over the baggy.

Iguchi has struggled with his footwork all year on that double play. He needs to get off a better throw than that.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 8, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) Mack has suckedd A lately, especially in runners in scoring position... Thats not to say the rest of the team has done so as well, but he especially. Ozuna is a totally different hitter against RHP. His swing is stupid looking.

Not sure why Ozuna continues to play against RHP. I wonder if Mackowiak is slightly injured?

I'm going to be incredibly pissed off if when he comes back, he shows some of the same issues he's had recovering in the past where he wasn't confident in his jumps/reads. If Pods returns to the lineup, he better be full speed.
