QUOTE (Reddy @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) i know. i want my baseball players to be at least decent looking. Inexplicable but true

Got away with one there, but overall Axelrod's done pretty well today. I'm pleased, he is beyond his years. Weird looking face though

I miss those glorious days when Hawk would take an inning off and we'd get DJ's home run calls

Deng just has no offense anymore.

I feel like all of Morel's at bats are in situations where a home run would likely lead to us winning

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:15 PM) In 181 at bats from our starting RF and 3B this year, we have one home run. I miss the steroid era At least it counted!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) Got the Tigers feed on today. I think I've listened to Hawk one game and that was too much. He's freaking brutal and Stone, who I used to like, isn't enjoyable either. Maybe its just Hawk overflows everything but I can't stand em. I really love Hawk. Do you not like the homerism? Or is it the occasional Caray-esque misspeakings, random stories, etc Stoney knows a lot, but I don't think he and Hawk work that well together. Hawk is color AND play-by-play

I love Hawk, it's like I'm never watching the game alone. I've got a fan right with me. The radio broadcast is f***ing awful, it's hard for me to even listen to it when I'm driving during games.

Avila is a pesky sum b****

Just keep pitching Dylan...this is why you didn't let them have any cheap baserunners before Prince came up

Prince Fielder is the one hope that Viciedo can be successful

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) How come when guys try to go to right you call it a defensive swing ? You can go to right with authority, but Lilli didn't even finish off his swing QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:58 PM) Alexei's at .364....oh wait, that's his OPS with RISP lol atta boy de Aza!

Got to hand it to Porcello, that ball running away from the lefty bat has got to be pretty tough on Dunn. The second strike was his best chance to hit it and even that pitch was fairly well located.

Does Dunn's .350 average with RISP lead the team?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:53 PM) Wait, Jon Garland posts on soxtalk under name Jake? I'm like Jon minus a few inches and 7-10mph, lol No WS Rings either

Don't swing at inside sinkers, people doing that is the only reason I had a baseball career

Too bad Eric Chavez is hurt, I know Kenny is still trying to get him

Axelrod has had multiple chances to crumble like you'd expect from a young guy, but he's kept pitching well each time

I don't see a reason to rush Molina up, though as always we have to concede that we aren't scouts and we aren't keeping tabs on him like the front office is

Axelrod taking care of business with the bottom of the order, but Flowers f***s him over

Has Molina lost fastball velocity or something? He was supposed to be a 92-95 guy with movement

Our batters are basically walking to the plate with an 0-2 count right now

Thatta boy Dayan, now I'd just like to see you hit a fastball

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) If he gets crushed, I think we'll see KW eager to call up Molina Thornton always wanted to be a starter you know...

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) it's your fault Sucks for Axelrod to have to make this start after being out of the rotation for a couple weeks, not to mention against this lineup. I think he'll give us a chance to win, especially if he just gets this last out. Nice recovery by Dayan, reminds me of Quentin out there lol
