Very good play by Iguchi there.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) Bulls***. It's ok to hate a guy, but that ball hit Singleton sliding in. That's certainly not the right fielders fault. That throw by Dye was well up the line. Look where it hit Singleton...it was well to the 3rd base side of 2nd base. From that distance, most MLB RF would have thrown out the runner at 2nd base. Just remember, one of the reasons we brought Dye in was for his arm.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) God damn Singleton. This is unbelievable. Why is it always one scrub a series who kills our team? We have to start playing Singleton more down the RF line. His last 3 hits were all in the same spot.

Another poor play by Dye in the outfield there. Any decent throw would have had Singleton easily at 2nd base.

That was clearly a fair ball.

Crap, not a good start this inning for Contreras. I hope Singleton is bunting here so we can get the first out of the inning.

Patience Iguchi with Pods on base. Not sure what the scouting report is, but I would love to see Iguchi try to let Pods get into scoring position with 2 outs there. Oh well, good job by bottom of the order there.

What's the scouting report on Hendrickson holding runners on?

Orioles up 2-1 on Twins after a homer by Javy.

Excellent swing by Crede there gets the runner home.

Crede.....please don't pop the ball up weakly here!

QUOTE(JimH @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) Plunk him. Morneau's OPS is 1.266 so far this season. 6 homers and 20 RBI in 17 games.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Brian Anderson your plane to chicago is boarding..... Good luck with KW making a move like that. Remember Royce Clayton?

I'd just like to say we were awfully lucky to not have to face Morneau in 5 games this year. He's a monster this season.

Good job by Contreras there.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) We should try a pitch-out here with Crawford on 1b. Doesn't make sense not to try it there.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) Anyone else tired of Dye? Even his defense has been sub-par so far. Of course we all are. Nothing is going to happen though, especially with the amount of money he's making. Something I've noticed with Dye is that even when he's taking pitches on purpose, he seems to be off-balanced. His body is flying back, while his hands are going away from his body.

I thought Everett was clearly out at home. I'll definitely take the charity though.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) Dyepopsitup. One thing we'll both agree on is that Dye and Crede have got to stop swinging straight up. Dye has just an awful approach at the plate right now.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 10, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) Agreed, dye's defense has been out of this world. Come on, I never said Dye's defense had been good. It's been extremely disappointing. I don't even think he has an assist this season at home plate. However, there's absolutely no comparison between Dye and Everett in the field. Everett hasn't been exactly tearing the cover off the ball lately. Hopefully, Dye will make this a mute point by the time Frank is back.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 10, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) Either that, or maybe we use Everett to replace Dye for part of the year. (I know people complain about Everett's defense, but really, can he possibly be that much worse than what Dye is doing right now that his hitting won't make up the difference?) Everett is a terrible, terrible outfielder. If Dye continues to slump in the field and at the plate, then maybe you consider putting Everett out there (I'd rather see Anderson get a chance before Everett in the OF). I can't believe people would advocate Everett in the outfield. He only needed one ball hit to him this year to prove he is terrible out there.

Any game that you play Everett in the outfield, you're putting your team at a significant defense disadvantage. Also, there's not a chance that Pods or Rowand should be taken out of the lineup.

If I remember correctly, Singleton also played a huge hand in beating us a few years ago when Colon was facing the A's.

Our lack of patience tonight and swinging at balls out of the zone was pathetic tonight.
