QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) Watching Vazquez pitch makes me feel like I did when El Duque pitched last year. Just constantly cringing. No....I still have confidence that Vazquez will at least throw strikes.

Keep using the change with 2 strikes Vaz.

I'd say McCarthy should start getting up in the pen....but we know Vazquez will stay in for the 5th.

This is the dreaded 5th inning for Vazquez. We need a double play.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) I think he was doing what he usually does. He missed it. It happens. Pods is hitting .414 when the count is 0-0. Just FYI for everyone. AJP is a pretty easy person to tell how they're approaching the pitch. As you know, he's most effective when he's trying to hit liners. However...if he connects, it's a homer. Thus, I'll find a way to forgive him. I just hope no one was surprised that he swung at the first pitch.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) Nice play by Scotty. I cringe thinking what Pablo would have done there. He might have knocked it over the fence.

Sizemore sure does have a lot of success vs Santana.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) santiago "jairo garcia" casilla wamring up Wow...thanks for that tidbit.

I have no problem with him swinging at the first pitch. However, it was sad to see how much he dipped his back shoulder swinging for the concourse.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) Did he say a brace? Regarding?

Terrible AB by AJ. Not the right time to get selfish.

For as good as AJP has been at the plate, he seems to have struggled in these situations.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) well hawk said we have the best 3,4,5 in baseball a month ago and the stats are backing him up. So our slogan this year will be.....Ken Griffey Jr., where would he hit?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) Probably could have nailed Alex at 2nd there. Who was covering though? I have a feeling Crosby was coming in at a bad angle for a throw.

Anyone else still disgusted with the called 3rd on Thome last night?

Nice run there. Good to see production from the slumping guys.

Cintron's going to have his work cut out for him hitting the ball in the air. I have a feeling we might see a squeeze.

There we go Juan! It was never in doubt jabroni. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Yet, players forget how many outs there are fairly frequently..... It's not out of the question he would forget something such as whether or not the force was in play Don't forget that the play was behind him, so maybe he didn't know if it stayed fair.

Juan protecting....from drawing a walk.

Quick question...I didn't even think about this until today, but did Swisher have a better chance of getting AJP out at home on the bunt last night?

There's that double play. Time for Uribe to get us started right.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) Did Byrnes hit that ball or was he running? I'm just glad he's not on this team anymore. I think he hit the ball. The worst thing was the Colon blew a 2 run lead the night before because he couldn't retire one particular player.....CHRIS SINGLETON!

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) That reminds me of that one game in 2003 when the umps wouldn't delay the game and Maggs had no chance on a flyout against who else, Oakland. That's the game he was referring to.

We need a double play.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) Feel free to disagree. Four shutouts doesn't a better pitcher make. Vazquez is excellent. Garland is not. And that'll establish itself by the end of the season even to those who don't believe it already. Your definition of excellent must be quite different than most of ours. Vazquez is one of those guys who looks better on the mound than his results end up being.
