I bet he steals.

I really dont like the hitch that Becks is developing in his swing.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) Australia had a national league about 10 years ago, and it went bust, mainly due to Cricket. Australia's been the best at Cricket for the last 10 years, now I would probably say countries like India and South Africa would be up there. Do you find it strange that people in the States have no idea about that sport whatsoever?

Is that 7IP 12 k's for pitching today?

What Torres's deal? He has looked like a pretty good defensive player out there this spring.

It may be the view, but McCullough looks like he has better stuff than Broadway out there.

QUOTE (tommy @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 04:00 PM) Did you hear the news about that Pakistan - Sri Lanka few days ago? Yeah, crazy.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Yeah, we're argubly the best in the world at it. I thought pakistan was pretty good too. So that is probably why baseball isnt big down under?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Isn't he hurt already this ST? Arm again right? I guess that whipping action was actually bad for him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) Omogrosso was primarily a reliever in college and the Sox used him in the rotation to try and have him make progress on his secondary stuff. I think we'll see him settle back into a pen role and eventually make the Sox pen. I mentioned it before, but they think pretty highly of him. Mechanically he looks pretty sound and he definately has some nice pop on the FB. He really looks like Liney out there. I dont know about his stuff, but he's deceptive and has good pop.

Sit down b****. 10k's in 6IP

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) Derrek Lee. Though according to Cowley Quentin has been hitting some bombs in batting practice. Ya. I think Lee's was a little bit different of an injury. Plus Q has way more raw power.

Seriously, this guy's delivery looks so much like Linebrinks.

Linebrink 2.0 in for his second inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) The game I saw on Sunday would make me disagree. He was swinging at everything. Any reports on Quentin's health so far this year? Oh, and seeing Beckham, Ramirez, Quentin, and Viciedo bat in an inning is definitely boner-inducing. It really is. Flowers, Kroeger, Becks, Alexei, Q, Viciedo batting in a row. Sexy.

How did that bat break? It wasnt hit off the end, not off the handle. Its a hard single if it doesnt.

not a strike but mercy rule applied.

Q was pissed he swung at that.

Viciedo hitting for Thome next. Feel the pain Aussies!!

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) More so than in College for sure. He looks to have more of a Sheffield-type swing now. Right, I thought I was the only one noticing it. I remember him having a quiet bat.

GOD

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Allen actually put up an .830 OPS against lefties last season. Impressive. It looked to me like he wasnt stepping in the bucket, but pulled his head off a little. COuld have been that particular guy. Alexei is starting to get red hot.

Does it appear to anyone else that he is loading his bat a little more? 2-4 for Becks.

How many just out of college guys have this good strike zone recognition?

Kroeger just misses one. I REALLY like his swing, effortless.
