QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 02:20 AM) At least we're making Harden throw a lot of pithes in this inning. Yep, it worked great yesterday as well. QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 02:21 AM) Somebody better tell Dye it's his contract year. He and Thome have been awful. It's the two guys most likely to see drastic downfall from their stats from last year. We have to hope some people improve on their numbers enough to make up for the changes.

Good grief....we've seen that way too often this year already.

Ugh, Thome looks old and has no bat speed.

I'll be shocked if Thome puts a ball in play vs Harden.

Ugh, terrible AB by Erstad. If you're going to bunt, then attempt it. Don't give up a strike if you have no intention of doing it.

Great hustle by Pods. He actually seemed fast.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 08:45 PM) WELL ON TO OAKLAND Contreras vs Harden should be fun.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 08:39 PM) Cardinals- 0, White Sox- 1. Only hit? Thome bomb in the 8th. Seriously you guys, lay off Thome. Jesus f***ing christ, you people are so forgetful. God damn it, close, just under it. Wasn't in the 8th inning.

I can't believe AJP rolled over on a pitch. Please get healthy Toby.

Got a massive hanger there. Thome and Dye look horrendous.

Thome is a pathetic 9th inning hitter.

Lots of slider-speed bat speed going on right now.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:54 PM) There is no logic whatsoever in keeping BA on the team, never letting him play, instead of starting him in AAA and keeping Perez when it was painfully obvious our hitting vs. LHP was absolute s***. At least there's not a lot of LHP in our division.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:47 PM) Another embarrassing performance against Santana. Anyone else realize in the last two starts against lefties (Sowers and Santana) we have only 2 hits? That's pathetic. We didn't exactly smack Silva around either.

Thome with some post 2006 ASB bat speed. Somewhere, Eduardo Perez is waiting for a call.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) Wouldn't it be embarrassing to get owned this badly over and over again? I wonder if we'll be the worst hitting team against LHP this year. When you face Santana and C.C. 12 times a year, it's very possible.

I think our AA team would have a better chance hitting Santana than these guys do. Someone might want to tell Uribe that he throws a changeup.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) Yes, this is a confidence builder for Danks-pretty good for a first start. We definatly need a better book on this Cudd Year. We never get him out You have to get Cuddyer up and in. We always throw him soft s*** on the outside, and he pokes it up the middle.

FWIW, Wade Miller looked horrible for the Cubs.

Good stuff by Danks. His fastball's been crisper than I expected. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:29 PM) I just realized gameday shows the speed of the pitches now. f***ing awesome. They're not accurate at all.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:27 PM) How many one-hitters does Santana usually throw in a season against every other team in baseball? He must honestly do it three times a year to the Sox. I seriously mean that. And to think some people gave me a hard time because I guaranteed the Twins wouldn't skip him this weekend after the game was called.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Well, at least they worked the count... We always try to work the count vs Santana, and it doesn't work. Even if he'll walk a few guys, you still have to be aggressive and get some hits against him. We're just not getting a lot of hits right now. Thankfully we won our last two games.

We really miss Toby Hall

Crede has hit uppercut swing going. Danks next start will be against Cleveland....duck!

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) Damn, he was cruising till then. But we all knew it was coming. An 91 MPH fastball won't cut it. His fastball is fine. I don't think his offspeed stuff is major league level yet.
