  1. Nice swing by Crede. Quick rhetorical question....why wouldn't you throw a Sox righty a slider with two strikes?
  2. Great swing by AJP. Lefties are at such an advantage vs Weaver.
  3. Ah....one of the most hated pitchers in baseball vs one of the most hated batters. The only thing that might top that is Steve Kline vs Barry Bonds.
  4. I don't want to see AJP bunting here. Garcia's not going to hold them to only two runs.
  5. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) Talk about loss off velocity, Weaver hasn't thrown above 84..... I'd suggest perhaps the radar gun is off, but Garcia doesn't appear to be throwing harder than his readings. Yeah...to the naked eye, Weaver seems to be throwing harder.
  6. QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) He threw in the 90s against Tor as well. Maybe like one or two pitches. He started off the game around 85 mph, and then he was throwing 88 mph after the rain delay. That was another game where he didn't know why he wasn't able to get loose.
  7. The seeds for Cy Weaver are being planted early tonight.
  8. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) He gawn, 82 mph Disgusting inning, I can't believe AJ tolerates his new bulls*** approach without hitting him in the face Do you really believe this approach is by designed? I doubt Garcia is Ricky Vaughn from Major League II.
  9. QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) i wonder if we can trade freddy for grady sizemore Why not just a suitable righty reliever so we can move the much better McCarthy into the rotation?
  10. QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Freddy pitch well in the WBC? I thought he was bringing his usual low 90's in that tourney. High 80s is what I was told.
  11. QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) It could be a result of throwing a lot of innings over the years, but to drop that much velocity this suddenly makes me wonder if there's more to it than that. It's not just the fastball velocity that's a concerned. He's not putting anything on his offspeed pitch, causing it to roll to the plate. That's what happens when you don't have enough strength in your shoulder. The only chance he has to fool guys right now is with his changeup.
  12. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Farmer is talking about scouts' concerns about Freddy's velocity. A month into the season...how can you not be.
  13. Garcia's curve is just rolling to the plate. Something has got to be wrong with him.
  14. Garcia with nothing.....AGAIN! I don't think he's topped 83 mph yet.
  15. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) Terrible concentration on Podsednik's part. Contrary to what Hawk/DJ say, you don't see many pickoffs of a runner at 1st base by a catcher for a reason. It's just mind-boggling how bad of a base runner he's become.
  16. Weaver's fastball blows tonight, but his slider is nasty.
  17. QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) I'm likely missing the start of this game, but should be able to see most of it. Go Sox Why are you going to miss it? The Cubs game is already over. Thus, you shouldn't have to have to flip between your two favorite teams.
  18. QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) assault with a deadly weapon? Come on, thats just idiotic. Anyways, it appears the up strike is ending. Weird timing huh? Ricky Manning Jr. might be charged with assault with a deadly weapon because he had shoes on when he kicked a man.
  19. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) Anyone find it hilarious how relaxed the catcher appears during the incident? He turns around to observe the bat-flip, then calmly places his mask back on. Ah yes....it's quite comical. You can always count on Corky Miller to do something odd.
  20. The best person I've heard associated with a Sox broadcast in the last 10 years was Jack McDowell. He was awesome in the booth in Anaheim last year.
  21. I can't believe Josh Lewin got ripped on. He's one of my favorite announcers.
  22. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 07:08 PM) I guess. But someone like Buerhle who has stayed healthy and productive his entire career is someone I would give a big deal. Someone like Brown or Park or Hampton or Burnett have either not had good seasons thru the contract year and/or haven't been healthy Mike Hampton was a pretty damn good pitcher when he signed his FA year, as was Kevin Brown.
