Anyone find it weird on Uribe's double how they never showed Erstad? For a second, I was worried that he thought it was a homer and didn't keep running hard. Hawk's reaction was so strange.

Fantastic control of the offspeed stuff by Sisco tonight.

AJP with way too long of a swing.

Wow, he missed by inches. Great swing Juan!

Juan...just flip one over the right field fence.

Where was this strike zone the whole game?

Another productive game for Iguchi. He can't leave soon enough.

Hopefully they'll try and throw inside to Iguchi, and hit him with the pitch.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:51 AM) Gload would've hit a granny. Nice job Thong Song. Now let's win it! He did have quite the grand slam last year.

Nice job by Sisco. Can we at least get a hit to tease me?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:48 AM) Uh no. We have enough of that approach on the team. Ask Gooch what pulling does. He has gotten progressively worse with his hitting as he has had more time to work with our coaches. His first time up against Johan santana he hits the ball the other way. Now 2 years later he looks just as foolish as pullem paulie. I trust Sweeney a lot more though...it's all in the hips. The times he hasn't cleared his hips on inside pitches this year, he's hit weak grounders on the infield. When he's opened up on the slow stuff, he's hit rockets.

Great.....now a walk scores a run.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:44 AM) Yeah, and his swing didn't look much better in the 2nd at bat, but he drew a walk. Of course he went and hit a HR later, but a lot of people would be (and were) upset to see him swinging harder and longer. I might be the only one, but I want to see Sweeney swing harder and pull the ball. The only thing was that he didn't look smooth with his swing in his first AB.

I'd do anything to have Gload back for Sisco.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:40 AM) Dejesus coming into tonight: Against RHP: .277 BA, .754 OPS Against LHP: .286 BA, .864 OPS I'm betting the WGN won't run this garbage propoganda commercial come late June. I love Sisco's pinpoint control.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) Also, keep treating me like a total piece of s*** and acting like you are never wrong about baseball. I really appreciate getting responses like you are making me laugh and that was the dumbest thing said on this board (the 2nd one wasn't you). I'm just stating an opinion and making observations. We've drawn an insane few amount of walks since Thome went out....it was shocking to see someone lay off an offspeed pitch twice in one night on a full count. The funny thing is there were people after his first AB saying he didn't look that good with his swing.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) 3 f***ing funs against the toliet of pitching. It all started with Iguchi going out of his way to pull an offspeed pitch with the infield back and no outs, runner on 3rd.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:37 AM) Hell we have people on this board bashing our rookies who reach base every PA including hitting a homer. I'm still holding out hope that was sarcasm.

Hawk really is Grandma Erstad.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:35 AM) I feel a little better after looking at Alex Gordon's stats. .164 with 37 strikeouts in 110 at bats. At least he walks (has 13), but damn, the Royals rushed him. Those are sub Anderson numbers. Imagine how much we would hate Gordon on this board? I like that the Royals rushed him. He had nothing left to accomplish in the minors. They know they're not competing for the title this year, so why not get him experience.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:36 AM) Grienke's numbers coming in: 5.80 ERA, 1.79 WHIP So far after this game: 5.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP Was there ever any doubt as soon as we saw him warming up in the pen?

This is a great cause....but these hitters have been swinging a pink bat all year.

Best wishes to Cintron. Gonzalez should start at 2nd base, and Iguchi should start looking for real estate back in Japan.

Aren't players in their free agent year supposed to do good? I hate this f***ing offense so much. KW deserves so much blame for not upgrading the crap we saw all during the 2nd half last year. At least we have more AAAA pitchers.

Holy s*** does this offense suck. Greinke's going to finish off this game.
