Everyone of our hitters sure seems to pull every pitch.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) 101 pitches for Freddy. He will come out for the 6th. Guaranteed. And he will give up 1-3 runs. I smell offseason surgery for Freddy. He will f*** us this year with his poor arm, and he will f*** us when we try to trade him.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Even solid players aren't available at this point. And if you trade for them, you are going to overpay for just a solid player. Is there someone available that can catch a fly ball and hit 240.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) I thought i couldn't imagine a worse batter than Royce Clayton. Royce had a better BA than both Anderson and Uribe.

How long before our hitters give up on singles and doubles and try to hit homers every AB.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Sweeney's the best looking hitter I've seen in our minors in a while. He isnt hitting too hot in the minors right now. Somewhere in our minors we have a problem. We have the inability to correct a swing that is the same for all of our hitters.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I don't. Haven't the Yankees just promoted several minor league OF's who have hit well in place of Sheffield and Matsui? If the team with practically no system can have production from their system why can't we? Because their prospects dont all have long looping swings like our prospects. Every hitter that comes up has a carbon copy swing. Long looping pull homer swing.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I don't know about that. He's done it before. Who is he supposed to bring up to replace him? He needs to trade. Bringing up another long looping swing from the minors is not the answer.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) HR by BA here will tie the game! How the f*** can he hit this bad. A f***ing pitcher has a better approach at the plate. Who the f*** is working with this kid to make him better. I see no improvement. He just pulls off every pitch, trying to have a full cut. Shorten the f***ing swing up, and dump it into right. How about a novell idea, short quick stroke.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Crede pops up a 3-0 pitch. Why is Crede swinging on 3-0? Because we have our heads up our asses.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Wilson has done well for us in the catching position this year. Plays like that one are why. Special

This is how you lose a division. You do stupid s***, and f*** yourselves.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) You're right they do...and I'm posting there tonight as well. ESPN also has a message board...and shockingly, I'm posting there as well. RealGM...yep you got it. I ask, why constrict yourself to just one point of view? I dont rememeber ever seen a tiger fan out on these boards, now all of a sudden we have two one who posts only when the tigers are doing good. If I wanted a generic point of view I would post at MLB.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) By the way, Ozzie, get Bmac up. He will let his wifes relative pitch as much as he wants. He has the slowest hook with Freddy. Freddy has to give up at least 10 runs before Ozzie takes him out. After the game, he will talk about how Freddy battled and how he was unlucky.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) The Tigers have the most dangerous 7-8-9 in all of baseball. Power wise. Add in Craig Monroe and it's the most dangerous 6-7-8-9 in all of baseball. Monroe - 10 HR's Shelton - 12 HR's Thames - 10 HR's B.Inge - 12 HR's Dont the tigers have a baseball message board.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) He's getting older. He turned one year older. Pitchers dont all of a sudden lose 5 mph on their fastball unless you see some sort of tear or strain.

I want an MRI on Freddys shoulder to prove he is healthy. Last year 92-93, this year if he breaks 90 its a godsend. Freddy the control junkball pitcher, who has no control.

Freddy and his meatballs in the high 80s is the same meatballs that we have seen all year long. He has to be the only guy to lose 5 mph on this fastball, and no one at all makes a comment in the press about it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) The Tigers are crushing Garcia's hanging pitches, and we're fouling off Robertson's meatballs. f***ING FREDDY. WORTHLESS

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) I love how you try to blame B.A. there, and wind up having to admit that a big part of the problem is still the starting pitching. What the f*** is the coaching staff doing to help BA. Are they doing anything besides batting practice. Is it time to get Hrniak back for a one on one session with BA. It seemed to work with Uribe last year.

Now where was that 2 seamer in the last inning.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) Missed fundamental plays like that piss me off more than Freddy giving up two dongers in an inning. Unacceptable Cintron you piece of trash. Freddy giving up a dinger on a 1-2 pitch pisses me off just about as much, because that is fundamentals. He gets to 2 strikes and can put them away with his medicore heat. Last years Freddy blows them away with a 93 mph heater. Not this high 80s meat.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) I wish Pablo was playing tonight..he makes things happen In the OF Pablo makes runs score for the opposing teams.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) Steff, Its been said that doing cardio after sleep on the most empty a stomach can be is the best for burning calories and fat. Being that I am not a morning person, I do it right after work before dinner when my stomach is relatively empty. I workout every night starting around 9pm or 10 if a sox game is on. My goal is to drop my glucose before I go to bed. My stomach is empty by that point. After my workout I drink a bottle of water. It amazing to see how working out at night affects my blood sugar not only before I hit bed, but when I wake up. When I dont work out, my sugars are up at least 20-40 in the morning. When I run at night, my numbers are almost "normal".

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) 8th round pick: Kent Gerst. One of the fastest players at the Area Code Games last summer, outfielder Kent Gerst could be the first high school player drafted out of Missouri. A Missouri State recruit, he's considered signable in the first 10 rounds, and the White Sox have shown as much interest as any club. Gerst has 65-70 speed on the 20-80 scouting scale, and he's a legitimate center fielder and leadoff man. He makes contact but there are some concerns about his size (5-foot-10, 175 pounds). Now this is what I was expecting from the sox. Drafting speed. Low Risk, high reward.
