Way to go Jose! At least it wasn't Duque out there.

What the f*** Pods? That definitely should have been caught. How can someone so fast be so s***ty on D?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:40 AM) He is getting hit a little harder, keep throwing Chone the split. He's been hit hard basically the whole game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) Duque warming is stupid. The Angels lit him up this season. They certainly did. I'd rather not see him in this game to be honest.

Rivera has hit two rockets off of Contreras so far.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:35 AM) I wish it was as easy as just knowing. ESPECIALLY with that bulls*** strike zone that inning. Yeah, but Iguchi had to know the splitter was coming. I think 99 pct of the viewing audience knew what pitch was coming.

Will someone please tell our hitters that Escobar has a splitter?

Dye had a great pitch to hit. He's going to see the splitter for sure. Likely strike 3.

Man, he had to know the splitter was coming there. This is the worst Iguchi has looked all season.

This ump has had a bigger zone for our hitters. Oh well.

Iguchi has to avoid a 2 strike count.

Good job Pods!!

Iguchi needs to try to drive the ball to RF. A hit-and-run might make him focus a little more on his mechanics.

El Duque's warming up? Ugh....with his shoulder rumored to be bothering him, I'd rather go with Politte next inning.

Haha, Crede owns Escobar! I've praised Scioscia, but he should have let Shields face Crede.

Lots of hanging forkballs tonight.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) Escobar will be coming soon. That's not good. I'd rather face him than Shields.

We can't touch this bullpen. They all have great offspeed stuff....and quite frankly, we struggle with that.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) This has been a heartbreaking game. It has? This game has been pretty boring if you ask me. It never really seemed like the Sox were in command of this game, and the Angels are in pretty good position to slam the door on the Sox. Do we deserve to be in the lead right now? No.

That PK AB last inning was a huge play in this game, as was that Kennedy AB.

Scioscia's showing why he's an excellent manager this inning.

Thought that ball was gone. Contreras continues to hang that splitter, and we're lucky it's not 4-2.

Hell, I'd take my chances walking Anderson, and trying to get a DP from Vlad.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) The Angels are just a bad matchup for Jose. Any team would have a chance vs Contreras tonight. He doesn't have the same arm angle he's had all season. He's still doing fine.

This ump is squeezing the f*** out of Contreras now.
