Could be his last inning.

Not clutch, eh?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) So Verlander's velocity is down? I just got in...I can only look at the stat sheetsYeah, Hawk mentioned how he was hitting 100 earlier this year and can't get past 96/97 now.

Underrated defense? Meh.

Apparently the announcers only question the opposing pitcher's drop in velocity.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) Ok....I just walked in the door and clicked on. 8 hits in the first 4 and 1 run?!?...wow! And the 1 run is unearned.

Poor technique on that slide. He slid early and slowed down into the plate. He should have accelerated through the plate since I-rod wasn't blocking the plate.

All that and Zoolander only threw 8 pitches in that inning.

Guy gets smacked in the face by the ricochet and doesn't get the ball. For shame.

AJ's lack of plate discipline continues to annoy me this year.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:33 PM) Way to early in the game to say that. It's only the fourth inning, and a lot can happen by the 9th. I know but usually this time in the game we debate if the starter will have 2 or 3 innings left.

Wow. It's such a rarity this year to actually have potential for a CG by our starter.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) I was tempted to say "thank you Captain Obvious" but with a two digit post count, I'll refrain. With our luck we'll get 2 runs on 11 hits and they'll get 3 runs on 4 hits.

We need to get a little more run production on 6 hits.

Hawk get paid to use Matt Abbatacola as a new Hawkism?

Haha! That rocked. Pods circa 2005.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Good thing Iguchi fouled that off. Was thinking the same thing.

Scattering a bunch of singles. Time to start knocking them in.

Top of the order. I have a good feeling about this inning.

Gooch rocks

Jose looking fantastic the 1st time through the lineup.

Where was that?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Who let the pitcher bat this inning? He had a decent run there for awhile but lets face it, he's a very bad hitter at this stage in his career.

3 singles in the inning, no runs.

I'm amazed Alex ever gets a hit with that long swing.
