We could always use Iguchi in this spot.

Good job Brian! Do we let Pablo hit for Pods here, and then bring in Mackowiak?

If he can't get it done on 2 pitches, he better be swinging away.

Good job Juan...now lets get this run in.

IRod hasn't looked good vs Garcia today, but Ordonez and Guillen have squared him up all 3 times.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) GREAT JOB Freddy!!! It's amazing how he does this. I'll be the first to admit I overreact to his bad starts.

Wow! That was Garcia's best inning of the game. Is Ozzie going to press his luck and let him start the 8th?

Don't give Polanco anything he can pull out of the park.

Got away with a hanger, but then threw a very nice pitch.

Freddy's still in. I'm not a big fan of waiting for trouble to happen.

If Ozzie has MacDougal up, he's better off just using him to start the inning.

Joe out-thought himself that AB.

MacDougal's up in the pen. Very interesting.

Too bad he wasn't looking for the first pitch.

Dye almost stayed back long enough to crush that hanger.

One of the better swings by PK in a long time.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) I think you know what your'e saying but it didn't come out clearly...don't forget that he had the Contreras-off-day in there. I meant that today would be the back-end of the back-to-back days.

Nice to see Anderson take charge out there. Lets get some more runs this inning!

Freddy can't throw that fastball low and in to Casey.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) How many pitches did he throw yesterday? Not sure, but with his health issues, I wouldn't want him pitching back-to-back days after throwing in 2 innings the day before.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) I'd rather see Macdougal, Throenton, Jenks if gets through this one unscathed MacDougal won't pitch today.

Thome's really pulled the ball too much this week. It's no surprise his only homers were hit the opposite way.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) I wonder if any of it has to do with the difference at 1st base (between Baines and Raines). I was going to ask you this: the organization doesn't seem pleased with Tim Raines. Might they feel like he's not doing a good job with the runners?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) Mack isn't very good in center, but I'm pretty sure he gets those balls fairly easily. They were high, high fly balls. ^^^^^

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) Our whole team seems to really be having some terrible SB technique lately. Up and down the list, no one is getting good jumps. The thing that's disturbing is that not only are they getting thrown out, they're getting thrown out by 5 feet.
