QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I think Crede will be out for a bit, so at least we won't have to see him pop up pitches down the middle for a while. Dont worry we have others on the team that can hold his popup title in check until he comes back.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) What, you don't think we can mount a 6 run comeback?? If we played 27 innings and our offense clicked, we may have a chance.

But WHERE WOULD KEN GRIFFEY JUNIOR PLAY

Thank god we gave Uribe a 3 year deal. The tasmanian devil spin himself into the ground trying to park every pitch is funny. We have two Joe Credes on the left side now. Love that 240 BA for Uribe.

Can we make a move for someone who can hit, more than once in a blue moon. Stranding a guy at 3rd with no outs is pathetic.

JOO BISH, YOU HAVE A GOOD FOCKING BIRTHDAY

Gooch is clutch.

Just a single.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) OK....I will be livid if Rowand isn't brought in to hit here. Rowand is very good against lefties. Please Ozzie, find it in your heart to replace Timo! With his change a righty is worse off than a lefty.

Ron Mahay sucked as a pitcher in college. But that guy could absolutely rake the ball. I thought he was a shoe in to make the majors as a hitter. Then he got PWNED in the minors and couldnt hit. As a lefty he started pitching again and got a few mph on his fastball. In college he was hitting low to mid 80s. On the gun in the majors they have him at 88-89.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) SSI, How many major league pitchers have you ever recorded a hit against? I went 2 for 4 against Ron Mahay in college. But I guess that doesnt count. He was a stud hitter back then and was drafted for that.

Throw it in the dirt with 2 strikes we are so undisciplined at the plate. Its an automatic strike out.

With all of the meatballs that mateo has left over the plate tonight yet the long looping swings foul them back.

If anyone thinks that Everett was taking a short quick swing or was trying just to have a base hit then I question their sanity.

BTW it was nice to see Everett with the long looping swings. Can we try and for the love of god when there is a man on third and less than two outs just try and make contact. Man on 3rd and less than 2 outs and the two guys K. COME ON. HOW BAD THIS OFFENSE IS.

Glad we gave Uribe a 3 year deal. We get two more years of watching him fall over trying to park every single pitch. He has no clue when he goes up there. Pedro Cerrano is reborn.

The bullpen is kinda rested. We have an aging pitcher who pitched a great game. He is now in the bottom of the 8th and instead of putting fresh arm now we have a tie game. Sad

You become terminal when you in the offseason Plan out the weekend for soxfest before they announce dates. Have your yearly vacation trip to Arizona already booked for ST. Cant wait until the schedule for next year is released so you can see what part of the schedule is East Coast bias. Wait for the first day of FA to begin, last day of arbitration offered, hit the site about a billion times during it, using RSS feeds from all sorts of sports news sources so you are the first to get that great FA signing we hope to get. Then b**** about the ones we miss out on. That + what you said and you are there. LOL

Monday should stop the Timo playing everyday thing. Pods comes back, Timo is a pinch hitter again. The only place were the occasional hit does us good.

I am sure this was brought up before. Wouldnt be a bad guy to pickup if Crede is out for a while. He did play a bit of 3rd, has hit well this year, and should come cheap. Just a thought. Could be a right handed backup for both of these guys. His splits against lefties and righties are very similiar.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Marte's big problem now is that he can't throw his slider for a strike to a lefty in case he hangs it. The slider doesn't have near the tilt on it that it used to have, and is too often a roller. As for his fastball against lefties....lets just say that whenever the catcher sets up inside vs a lefty, he always comes close to hitting the batter. One of the reasons Marte is more effective against righties is that he can throw that same high, tailing fastball, and it will entice righties to swing at it instead of lefties having to dive away from it. I wonder if when he broke Chavez hand last year if he had become gunshy on lefties. His ball sails when he gets velocity on it. He can still rush the ball up there with good mph on it. But when he aims it he dips that velocity down to 91 and that is very hittable. He is currently used as a lefty specialist and that is not or should not be his role. I agree with everyone on this, after this season HE GONE
