Phew, not good there by Joe.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) Cotts is a 5th-7th inning middle reliever...not a setup or closer.... No, he's earned the right to be a 7th-8th inning guy. Cliff in Neal should always be pitching the 7th and 8th innings, I just don't want Dam in, in this situation instead of Neal if it comes to it.

Great game Jose. Lets hold 'em, pen.

Why is dam warming up instead of Neal?

Oh boy.....Cliff should be in, imo.

Have a good one, guys.

Well we get our two guys to hopefully finish this one off.

Blah.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Iguchi just likes giving out souveniers. He's just a nice guy.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) That's terrible fundementals from Iguchi. Two straight opportunities to lay down a bunt and he BLEW IT. We need to succeed in this situations if we're not hitting--which we're not. What is this, the 2nd time all year Tad didn't execute perfectly?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) Uribe is such a dumb base runner. Why would you risk distracting Iguchi? Or getting Scott held up when he follows on a double steal.

Not a huge fan of Tad ever bunting, I know this is a good situation for it but he's so good moving guys over by swinging the bat.

That a boy Paul. Steal 2nd now and then 3rd.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) He has a weak arm, though. But yes, I agree with you that his throw-out % is extremely decieving. He does have a weak arm but he has a quick release and a pretty accurate arm. He has absolutely no chance though most of the time.

Played goalie there, nice play gooch.

AJ's thrown out runner ratio is so decieving this year, he never has a shot with the cubans and freddy out there.

Out thunk arod there. Can't ease up here.

Walks sheff to get to arod.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) I'm so happy we decided to move AJP up in the order though. Does anyone know if he ever batted this high in the majors? I'm pretty sure he's batted 2nd in his career before.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) BTW, the bottom of the 6th is a huge inning for Contreras with 2-3-4 up. Every inning is huge with a 1-0 lead.

Buehrle could have pitched a whole game during these last 2 ab's.

Good f'n curveball there.

Between throw overs and pitches this at bat has taken forever. I love it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:42 PM) Wow, some terrific pitches to hit for Iguchi. I haven't really thought of it this year, but he's a better low ball hitter than high ball, isn't he? Without a doubt, he goes through a lot of high fastballs. Guy just knows how to hit though.

This is a perfect time for a hit and run.
