Jfp gets the well earned 2nd win in 4 days

There's one.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) I get to watch the f***ing Mets. Sure would like to have seen the White Sox game. Join me in sending a complaint email to fox. It can't hurt.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) Who was at fault there? Ozzie being too cute or Lilli for missing it or both? It wasn't a terrible idea, but when you get told to suicide squeeze, your got to get the bat on the ball even if it's a pitchout. Throw the bat if you have to.

Gmab, failed suicide squeeze?

Finally the pitchers get some help

Ok Castro!

Ok Castro!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Soooooo our game is finally on Fox if you were subjected to the Indians game. I have the awesome competition of a 14-2 score in the mets rangers game.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) win is decided by the official scorer as Danks did not go five... let's get to the end of the game first Which means we need to win the game to make the scorer's decision easy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) Sooooo....do we just let him go for the five inning save? Unless he asks out, absolutely. We'll have to reshuffle the rotation anyway. May as well give Santos the day off if possible.

4 innings, 7 k's, just over 50 pitches for JFP. That guy deserves a win today.

6 k's in 3.1 innings for JFP

112 pitches today for Gorzelanny. We've gotten what, 1 run in 14 innings off Nationals Starting Pitching?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:25 PM) I hate that stat. I know it means something but good hitters will have a high BABIP and bad hitters will have a low one and vice versa on the pitching side. Yeah, there's a range, but when numbers are way outside of that range, it's seems to consistently work.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) I think it goes to show you how even a small thing can throw the hiter out of whack. And that the "the pitcher isn't scared" feedback is really important. If a pitcher starts nibbling, then the pitcher falls behind and the hitter can be aggressive. If the pitcher goes right after the hitter, the hitter has to be ready to swing defensively.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:22 PM) Collmenter has a better ERA than Verlander .209 BABIP against him.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Maybe, but he reminds me of Brian Anderson. A lot of bad ABs where he either easily falls behind 0-2 or makes crappy contact early in the AB for an out. That's because pitchers aren't afraid of him hitting a solid fastball, so they go right after him. The problem really is/was mechanical for both of them. And both of them had stretches where they got their mechanics right but then lost them.

5 K's for JFP

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) What's everyone's feeling on Beckham? I don't see a Major League caliber hitter. He has just got to go to AAA.

Here comes pitch 100 for Gorzelanny

We may need to hold them to a shutout to win this.

Quentin/Konerko/Ramirez are 0/7 (1 sac fly)

A 3 hit day for Morel.

QUOTE (SoxUK @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Nationals dodge Danks thinking they'll get a shot at a stretched BP. Who comes in? JFP. Keep it up, Jake. Nationals See the guy that gave up their first runs last night, and then he holds them silent for 2.1 innings. Keep that up, Bruney.
