QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) Chances logan would do any better over the course of this season is not too great in my opinion. I'd rather have Logan sitting in the back of the bullpen not being used and Sisco in Charlotte getting stretched out than Sisco s***ting the bed in the 6th inning of close games and Logan closing s*** out in AAA.

Remember, choosing Sisco over Logan is not going to effect the team. It's not that big of a deal. Oh wait, he's pitching like s*** in the 6th inning of close games. Fun.

Podsednik needs to get to that ball quicker, I don't understand why he wouldn't bust it to the wall when the tying run is on it's way to 3rd.

Sizemore = best non 1B/DH in baseball.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) Yes, and use an absurdly long bat with lots of back torque while you are at it. I just love Jeff Francouer he's either going to be a hall of famer or out of baseball in 5 years.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:47 PM) Andy Marte reminds me of Jeff Franceour at the plate. Throw cation to the wind, swing like a maniac at every f***ing pitch!?!?!

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) I still like Pods...but he's even trying my patience. :/ Did he just get a REALLY bad jump or something?! Thank god Crede picked us up there... The sad thing is, he actually got a pretty good jump. He's just slow.

Crede has put on A LOT of muscle mass, the guy is gigantic.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:36 PM) Erstad in LF Anderson in CF anyone? I don't even hate Erstad at the top of the lineup, he just shouldn't be paired with the pathetic Pods as the 1-2.

Scott Podsednik is a miserable ballplayer.

I love this small ball. Tadahito is such a talented hitter, I really hope he's around for the next 3 years.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:15 PM) Aren't "speed/slap" hitters supposed to be good contact hitters who make sure they put the ball in play? I have another fun stat that related to this point. Scott Podsednik struck out looking 47 times last season, in his ENTIRE CAREER Juan Pierre has struck out a total of 46 times looking.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) I wonder if we're going to lead the world in called third strikes again this year? At least Pods truly is the catalyst. Fun stat: Podsednik struck out 96 times last year, 49 of those K's were looking. That's over 50% of the time. It's incredibly hard to find players who even top 30%.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) The Erstad/Nixon comparisons are awful. One can't play a lick of defense, the other can. One is patient at the plate, the other isn't. One hits for power, the other hits for higher average and is 'slappy'. One can run, the other can't. The only similarity is their propensity for wearing high socks. That's not the only thing they have in common the both of them are perpetually injured and have pasty complexions.

1 the runny tally begins . . .

See what happens when you work the corners?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) If i recall correctly, we started 0-4 last year. Lets not jump to conclusions Hard to do that when you win the Opener.

Some day Garland will realize that he does not have the stuff to be working the middle of the plate, he has to be working corners and keep everything down. He's not Roy Halladay no matter what he thinks.

8-0 Tigers in the 4th. Currently bases loaded nobody out for Sean Casey.

God f***ing damnit Garland. I thought he was supposed to be a stopper?

Ok so now he's going to change his strike zone?

WOW JI JIM THOME IS AMAZING.

Wow, this is just terrible umping thus far.

AJ Burnett's line vs the Tigers today: 2 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 2 K His relief Marcum: 2/3 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K and a grandslam allowed to Granderson. 8-0 Tigers in the 3rd. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:20 PM) So, will it be a CS or a SB? Taking votes... He'll take it. SB

Erstad broke straight back on the Sizemore fly out then regrouped quickly and made the play. He also just broke in on the last fly out then regrouped with a few steps backwards. I don't know if I should be encouraged that he's breaking the wrong way initially but is still regrouping in time to make the play or if I should be worried since he's getting poor initial reads.
