The Ginger Kid

we've got some real speed in the middle of the order

thought for sure he'd go inside the way PK has been leaning out over the plate of late. Need Q to stay back and drive it.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) standing O for Dunn the tip of the cap was the best -- hey man, that had to feel like a lot of pressure just came out, acknowledging the fans bronx cheer.

LOL!! Good for you, Adam.

Burls must be thinking 'what's the point?'

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) Francis is 3-9. He's absolutely gotten rocked his last 3 starts. His ERA is near 6. He's topping out at 85-86-87 MPH. If we can't hit him, who exactly CAN we hit? At least Lopez had deception on his side. If Lopez can do it, Francis can too. It's just a very weak lineup that chokes with RISP

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Francis just blew by 85 mph fastball by Castro fat and old

If I ran the scoreboard I would play one of those between-inning blooper reels when Dunn and Rios are at the plate; fans shouldn't be subjected to watching them bat.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) Guillen seems to be going all in with Dunn of late in an attempt to get him out of this massive hole. I can't say I would bat him anywhere but 7th or so. did you see his expression when he was asked about Dunn yesterday, that wry smile? I think Ozzie's sick of his s*** too.

and since I'm piling on, Dunn is hitting .056 in his last 10 games, with 20 Ks in 36 ABs

I think it would be fun if Dunn were invited to the HR derby. ♦

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) Detroit losing early. Cleveland losing early. It'd be super swell to move within one game of Detroit and 2.5 of Cleveland today. tied

Take this to the bank: Dunn is going yard x2 today.

they'll probably send Max down again, he'll work it out again and come back strong. The arm is still there. btw, how scary is Verlander in a 7 game series...

tigers/giants getting ready to re-start. Twins blow a 7-0 lead to lose 8-7. not a bad start to the weekend.

i sure as hell hope we bury those tools this coming week.

does thor ever throw anything off speed?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) He's not a contact guy, and its hard to be sharp if you play as little as he does, plus when he does play a lot he's really not that good. it's funny that KW was so enamored with the guy based on how he used to hit at the cell vs. the sox.

i hate to see him over 100 pitches

Niedermyer? DEAD. Robbie Gould? DEAD.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Wrong. ?? i sat up behind home plate and had to lean to the left or right just to see the pitcher on the mound. Could never see the ball up in the air. Add to that, there's always at least 3 vendors walking up and down the aisles AT ALL TIMES.

9 outs, back to .500

1 more phil

have we exceeded our allotment of DPs?
