QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Because Mack almost hit a HR and BA can't hit it out of the infield. Well Mack is about as good as Everett in Center. Maybe we can get him back also, because he can hit, but cant catch either.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) Eh. It was a solid fastball. Good piece of hitting. You can't walk folks. It should of been a caught ball. But Mack decided to circle it. So we took out defense in a key position, and it f***ed us.

NICE CATCH MACK.

Ron Mahay may come into the game. I played against him when he played at Shepard and when he was at South Suburban. He got drafted by the Red Sox because he had such an amazing bat. He was f***ing unreal hitting. His pitching kind of sucked in high school and especially in college. Everyone thought he was going to make it to the majors on his sweet swing from the left side. But alas he couldnt hit minor league pitching at all, then got some more life on his fastball.

Wally the ump wouldnt of gotten the ball in the neck if he had called the last pitch a strike.

A walkoff on our side would be nice after the craptacular road trip we just came back from.

Hawk is like the little boy crying wolf, so many stretches, get on back theres, and its way back, only to get caught at the warning track or 20 feet before the fence. He is starting to get Harry Carays eye for fly balls.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) 2 down, juan"clutch" uribe batting, theres always the bottom of the ninth Holy s*** someone actually decided to go with the low and away pitch.

Get to two strikes, throw a sweeping slider in the opposing batters box.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) If it was Garcia on the mound, Ozzie would have left him in for 2 more innings. Where Garlands pitch count was, you cant fault him for making the change. If we dont fix the pen, we are going to be in a world of hurt this summer.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) he gone Keeping the ball down for Brandon makes him a much better pitcher.

Here is a clue to our right handed batters. For the last 4 years, pitchers have been going away away away on you. So dont act shocked when you see 4 pitches on the outside corner, and then allow it to freeze you for a strikeout. It shouldnt be a mystery.

Look their relief pitchers are getting ahead, and then finishing them. What a concept. And the Texas pen blows BTW.

Hawk blowing Ozzie right now.

Well that was a horses*** call.

I wonder what our stat is for our bullpen allowing inherited runners to score.

Well that was quick.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) damn he walks mathews RUH RO BULLPEN TIME Garland pitched inside, and did what he had to do. Best effort of the year. Now the pen needs to the throw strikes and get ahead.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) I do not recall. Nor do I have Tivo. You are awarded no points. No tivo, and you think acer laptops are good. You are docked 10 points for being behind the times.

Garland is up to 108 pitches. So its up to the gascan, I mean bullpen to finish it up.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) Ozzie is insisting they play proper baseball - they better get used to it or get used to sitting. Uribe cant bunt. So you think we should keep bunting him. BTW Konerko cant steal. But its proper baseball to steal, so lets send him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Uribe knows he needs to hit the ball to the right side in that situation. What does he do? Yep, he gets out in front of the pitch, and rolls over to the left side. Uribe steps in the bucket flying open on every swing, what do you expect him to do.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) Well....that was disappointing. It's really mind-boggling how infrequently Anderson gets a hit. Why was Uribe bunting ahead of Anderson. Its not like Juan can bunt at all. And its not like Anderson is lifting fly balls to the outfield.

Its time for more Cintron at SS. Uribe is worthless with the stick. Man on 2nd, no outs. No runs. Nice execution.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) I for one think having Uribe spread his legs out and try to steady his head on his swing (a-la the changes andruw jones made before 05) would do wonders to help him see the ball better, but I just haven't seen anything that suggests he's actually spreading his legs out or balancing more at the plate this year over last. His front foot is the bulk of the problem. The minute it flys open and he starts to spin his hips if he makes contact, its for s***. When he keeps closed off, he hits a lot better.
