How sad is it that some of Koronka's fastballs were faster than Jenks fastball tonight?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) Did Cy Young start or was it John Koronka. How the fish did we not get to him. Only 4 hits. Does everyone on the team want to be home in October. This is a bad pitcher, how did we not score like 5 runs in the first inning. - The Ozuna magic is gone - Iguchi stinks vs lefties - Thome stinks vs lefties - AJP looks brutal now - Credepopsitup is back

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) I just want someone, I don't care who, to talk to the team and inform them that if they don't wake the fish up right now, they will miss the playoffs. Maybe the best thing that could happen to this team is fall out of the Wild Card lead.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:01 AM) I'm not doubting that, the numbers are what they are....I've just seen Cotts come into games too often, and just contribute to the other team's inning before settling down. He got out of the inning tonight though - nice job Cotts! I would have rather had Boone Logan pitch to Blalock then to leave Jenks in to face another hitter.

If Ozzie lets Anderson bat vs Otsuka, I'm going to throw my remote.

For about the 5th time this week, I'll say this....at least this slump is happening before the trade deadline. I won't be opposed to anyone on this team getting traded in a deal.

The funny thing is that the use of the bunt has won these two games for the Rangers (assuming the score holds up).

At least we'll hear Hawk act unprofessional tomorrow when he talks about what he would have done to Padilla if he was still playing.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) wasdon, koranaka starting for texas. what do we get? 5 f'n runs in two f'n games combined. Cause we hit 3 home runs. And it was 4 runs, not 5.

So....how do we explain all these pitchers seeing a drop in velocity?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Don't congradulate me. This isn't something that I want to see, nor is it something I'm happy about. Sorry, I didn't mean it like that at all. I was just saying that you did a great job pointing out that stat.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) When you give Michael Young the chance to beat you after walk somebody, you're asking for it....I guess it was only a matter of time before Bobby Jenks started contributing to this losing streak, after all, everyone else is. And this game is OVER..... Isn't Jenks ERA now like 8 this month? His fastball has been slower for a while now. It's more like 96 mph than the 98-99.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) This is why Jenks shouldn't pitch in the 8th. He's a 9th inning guy, not someone that gets 2 inning saves. If he can't get 4 batters out, then he doesn't deserve to be a MLB pitcher. You called it though....congrats!

Uribe being unable to get anything on his throw has come back to haunt us. Hard to get on him, as it's the first time I've seen him fail to make a good throw in that situation.

Ha....we are so freaking bad. We treat Mathews Jr. like he's Babe Ruth, and then don't challenge Kinsler.

Yuck. Jenks can't get his offspeed pitch over the plate without rolling it tonight. This is just a dangerous situation now. No walks!

FWIW, Pods is playing Kinsler near the warning track.

Is it me, or does Jenks not have his good heater tonight?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) I think he's done a very good job this game. His handling of the Pods AB was BAD! He played right into the hands of Buck, and him being able to use Mahay vs our normal 1-2-3 hitters.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:46 AM) if the sox lose, i wonder if ozzie wil go on a rant about how this is pathetic. jeez our pitching has sucked, but when we get get good outings by jose and freddy, we dont do spiff. Less ranting, more strategizing.

Jenks only at 91 mph there?

Ha...they make it look so easy. What a joke.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) If they push a run across I seriously might jump out a window. Watch them play small ball pefectly.

HE WAS OUT!

What the hell kind of throw was that?
