QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:51 AM) At this exact same point last night we were losing to them 1-0 and had exactly 1 hit in the first 3 innings. LOL. Let's hope your predictions end up like the last few days. ? All I'm saying is that it's just a matter of time before someone tees off on a hanging offspeed pitch.

Not the last double play Stewart will hit in. If he's healthy, Stewart and Piazza vs Konerko and Dye would be a great battle in terms of GIDP.

Ugh....Garland's been getting away with so much. Just a matter of time.

Wicked nasty = hanging high slider over the middle of the plate? So far, our three righty hitters have all struck out.

This is pathetic. So I guess three of our hitters went up looking first pitch sinker at their ankles.

Cintron looks really bad at the plate this year, including in Spring Training.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:42 AM) Our team can only go up in O, we are currently hitting .235 as a team right now. I'm not one for excuses, but we have faced 3 of the best pitchers in baseball so far this year already.

Good catch Rob!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:36 AM) I love it when a not so talented 2 pitch former reliever shut down your powerful offense. Its flashbacks of Julian Tavarez shutting us down with crap stuff. Just have to hope our pitching can carry us while our hitters get their swings shortened.

Gaudin is keeping that sinker down in the zone. Not a good pitcher to face with our homer approach.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:34 AM) It was really nice of Thome and AJ to work the count. Am I allowed to say I have more confidence in Pods have a quality AB than anyone else right now?

Wow, 2 first pitch outs.

It's scary that Uribe has looked the best out of our right handed hitters lately. QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:33 AM) Our hitters look pretty dumb so far. We're just not getting a lot of hits.

Finally spotted that fastball. Hopefully he settles down like Contreras did.

Another meatball

Yikes, he got away with one there. I thought it was gone off the bat. S. Stewart, Chavez, and Crosby scare me against Garland.

G. Pratt's favorite player homered.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:24 AM) Walking a guy with a 0-2 count is just unexplainable... It happens when you don't have a strike out pitch and you start nibbling.

Garland looks like he still has the dead arm. Need a grounder from Piazza.

The gun is accurate, if not too high so far tonight. Garland's pitching around 87 mph.

And just like that, Erstad is under .300. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:09 AM) Crap. C.B Bucknor is behind the plate. Terrible umpire, and something bad always happens with him behind home. Ozzie was arguing that Pods should have walked due to Gaudin going to his mouth. PK's been waving at that 2 strike offspeed pitch. He's too mechanical at the plate....needs to relax a little.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 08:14 PM) Outside of Scotty Pods, who really does in this organization? We seem to pretend to be all about the small ball but last time I checked, we didn't win yesterday's game with ducksnorts and suicide squeezes. Actually, we were 1-4 in bunting yesterday.

After hearing DJ repeat last night numerous times that Contreras seems like he has something bothering him, this rumor sounds very legit. It was almost as if DJ was trying to tell us there was a reason behind the way Contreras looked, but that he couldn't tell us publicly what it was.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) As much as Podsednik's defensive prowess has been mocked around here, I truly believe he has been better since the later part of last season defensively. I worry more about JD out there in right than I do about Scottie in left. For whatever reason, no one mentions how terrible-looking Dye is out there though... Dye was horrible defensively last year, but his bat made up for it. Pods looks more confident in the field, and him and Erstad did a great job on their jumps last night.

Eduardo Perez would help out this team a lot more than Anderson would right now.
