QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Did Shoenweiss ever have a 1-2-3 inning when he was with the Sox? Of course, he never had a one pitch at bat form Scott Pods to make it easier. Pods makes me ill. I got a laugh out of DJ saying how our first two batters hit the ball hard this inning.

That's a great baseball player. I can't believe someone would think he's underrated.

Lets hope we can get a few runs and win this. It would be very disappointing to lose a game where the Blue Jays only had one strong inning, and we left numerous guys on base.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) Manuel needs to stop messing up our Sunday games. Oh wait, he is gone. I don't blame Ozzie so far for this result. I will say that we need to keep Uribe on the field. I can't see how benching him is going to improve the mental funk he's in throwing the ball.

We're going to see Schoeneweis next inning.

So far, outfield range has decided this game. Rios showed a lot of speed preventing Cintron from a likely triple.

I don't get it. Burnett throws hard, and Molina throws well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) Right hander comes up, the Count becomes a side armer. And he cant control it as well, he is leaving it up also. He's left more hittable pitches out over the plate for righties today than he did in every start before he got injured. I thought it was interesting that righties are hitting him better than lefties this season.

For anyone who saw the replay....could Dye have caught the double by Rios down the line?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) Keep pulling it AJ. The last week you have been hot with spraying the ball all over, today for whatever reason you are thinking right side only. It's been amazing to see the pitch recognition by Thome, PK, and Dye this wknd. For the others...not so much.

AJP at his pull baseball worst today.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Jose does look awful today, hopefully he can turn it around quick, or the BP is going to have to win this one for us Jose's just leaving so many pitches over the heart of the plate. He was great last year/beginning of this year when he's throw fastballs in, and sliders/forkballs away. It seems like half of his pitches today our outside fastballs at 88 mph.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Even as a joke, this is become way annoying. No, I was basically referring to the praise Hawk was giving him earlier.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) We now don't have a starter with an ERA under 3.70 What a bad year for the Sox starters. Don't worry, Cooper is amazing!!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) way too many mistakes by Jose today He looks awful. He just isn't consistent with all these arm angles. Might I ask, is he another pitcher who's lost his velocity? He's been around 90 mph all game, with a few pitches in the 94 range. Earlier in the year, he was 95 a lot of the time. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) Pods weak arm allows the runner to score from 2nd. He had no chance. However, this inning was just another example of how our outfield defense continues to give no support to our pitchers.

Damn...very close pitch there.

Brian has got to bust his ass running back to get that. He could have caught that.

Contreras has to make some good pitches this inning now.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:05 PM) Do they keep a stat for caught looking anywhere? You can just go back and look at every play-by-play to tell how many K looking he has. Anyone have that much time on their hands?

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) maybe high, but it was a good pitch. Wish pods would just swing when he's got 2 strikes, please. He just needs to learn how to foul off tough pitches like that. Someone like Gload does a great job at that.

Pods....YOU HAVE TO PROTECT! Anderson had a great AB though, and missed a homer by a foot.

I like facing the Blue Jays without Russ Adams. He's been a Sox killer over the past few years.

I can't believe Hawk just pointed to Vazquez as someone that Cooper has turned around.

This is just an amazing exhibition of hitting by our 3-4 guys this wknd.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) the gun is off per usual You sure? They had Burnett at 98 mph during this game. Stay hot Thome!
